Even good times and irie vibes require some prep.
So for next week's Miami Reggae Festival at Coconut Grove's Peacock Park, you just can't forget to pack these three things.
1. Two non-perishable food items, which (before 3 p.m.) can be traded for free admission to the fest.
2. One windproof butane lighter for the lighting of, umm, incense in any weather, windy or rainy or whatever.
3. A laminated copy of the party plan in order to remain fully aware of what's next, mon, even after you've torched a lil' too much of that, umm, incense.
