Looks like I need to find those files you're talking about, so I can understand the story and be like you. Otherwise it's 6+ hours of people singing samba and dancing in funny costumes. Beats the 8hrs+ of years back. I love how they've streamlined things. I may be able to sit through the whole thing. Am also surprised it hasn't rained.

Yesterday, LIESA was reporting 2, 000 tickets were still available for tonight's parade and 13, 000 for the Champions parade Saturday.
I was disappointed in that the Sao Paulo's parades were not televised in Rio. Oglobo instead broadcast Rio's Series A group. Lots of Gordas on the floats!
Tijuca? How about Mangueira's float losing it's head to the press box! Looks like I need to find those files you're talking about, so I can understand the story and be like you.

At Liesa (http://liesa.globo.com/) , there are a couple of large files (several hundred pages each) called Abre-Alas Carnaval 2014. One for the schools performing the first night, one for those on the second. These give you not just the song (samba-enredo) but also the story (enredo). Cut & paste (to Google translate if you like) a couple for schools you like the look of (Beija-Flor is fairly textbook and a good example) and you will have the theme as it is told and developed in successive alas (the wings, or groups of dancers) and the individual floats. Then the story unfolds as you watch. It's much more exciting than going knowing nothing. Otherwise 6+ hours of people singing samba and dancing in funny costumes can seem a bit much.
It's just an idea. Also a question, to anyone who has been this year or recently to the tourist seats section. I've been to a lot of different sections but never forked out for that one. What is the difference? I understand they provide things like simultaneous translation? Is it just the standard commentary or do they give you hand-outs in English and explain the background of the schools and the themes?

Posts: 5I'll be taking my first trip to Rio during Carnaval and have read a few of the threads for background. Very helpful. I already feel like I'm standing on the shoulders of giants! One thing I haven't seen discussed very much is the effect, if any, of Carnaval on the termas. Is Carnaval like New Year's where the termas close or the quality and options drop precipitously? Any advice and feedback for a first time Rio trip during Carnaval is much appreciated. I'll be in Rio from the 8th until the night of the 14th.

Andrea Andrade of Mocidade stole my heart at Carnaval. I love her look. I love her face, eyes, lips the way she flips her hair and bats her eyes. Oh and I love her ass! And fianlly I love the way she moves. I swear you can meet girls with a similar look at L'uomo and have sex with them

Raissa De Oliveira of Beija Flor is a close second. I swear I did her at Centaurus 2 years ago! Is she ever cute.

Cool vid of Rio's 2012 Carnaval parades, best seen in Internet Explorer. Tilt-shift photography refers to the use of camera movements to simulate a miniature scene.

Posts: 744Sunday
My first carnaval and I liked it as much as I liked Bia at L'uomo. Portela had the best music and had the place rocking. I thought Mocidade had the best bateria and the best rainha de bateria. Man she was dancing up a storm and I thought Beija flor had the best float and imperatiz had the best opening act with the guys swinging from vines like Tarzan. Port De Pedro and Jac whatever were a little boring (only when compared to the others) and I found out later that they were demoted. I really enjoyed the show and I cannot get the music out of my head.
