A Sea of People, Live Music And No Parking: A Picture Collage Of Mapp's Victory Party

The biggest party of 2014 happened in Peter’s Rest on the night of Tuesday, November 18 and into the wee hours of Wednesday morning. There, a sea of Virgin Islanders filled the not-so-large parking lot near the Sprint Wireless store, across from Plaza Extra and Cost-U-Less, where a band played soca music while people danced for hours. Their hearts were thumping with adrenaline following the news that Kenneth Mapp had defeated Donna Christensen to become the eighth Governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands, and although the wait for Mapp and Potter, who were making their way to St. Croix from St. Thomas, was long, people weren’t bothered because the mood was decidedly festive.

Below is a picture collage of the event. Enjoy.

I wear many hats, I suppose, but the one which fits me best would be journalism, second to that would be radio personality, thirdly singer/songwriter and down the line. I've been the Editor-In-Chief at my videogames website, Gamesthirst, for over 5 years, writing over 7,000 articles and more than 2 million words. I'm also very passionate about where I live, the United States Virgin Islands, and I'm intent on making it a better place by being resourceful and keeping our leaders honest. VI Consortium was birthed out of said desire, hopefully my efforts bear fruit. Reach me at [email protected].
