Ok, so ... you may have seen some pictures floating around of me with a big ole coconut. Yeah. Let me explain. See, what had happened was: I went to the Antilia Carnival 2010 Celebration the other week at the Tribeca Rooftop down on Hudson St. Now, I'm not very savvy on Caribbean culture, so I was surprised and tickled when I saw that there were tables of coconut water drinks.
