Does the response
"down in de funnel" mean anything when you ask someone where
de lime/party is tonight? Well that phrase is still known to bring about
great discomfort. Not really the words but the meaning ... thoughts of
immense traffic! For those who dont know, when going to Chaguaramas,
there is only One Way In and One Way Out! The slightest of complications
anywhere along the route can lead to major traffic back-ups.
All those folks who
attended Extravagance at Caesars Palace : Las Vegas (The Lure) would know
exactly what TJJ talking about. So people we already always a bit late
but you see when we spend hours more in traffic getting there, is now
we nearly miss the entire party. No fret though, half de party was stuck
in traffic too, so we really didn't miss anything :-)
After that whole intro,
you probably know that things got started pretty late in the night. Fete
didn't reach into full swing until like 1:30 in de morn. Now let's put
the negatives behind us, we here! It's a drinks inclusive event with Jonnie
Walker (Black), Angostura 1919, Absolut & Smirnoff Vodka, Baileys
Irish Cream and the likes. Julius Caesar doing it Las Vegas style so there
were poker tables with people gambling, live entertainment from the lovely
showgirls and even champagne bars. Did anyone pay close attention to one
of those showgirls??!! One really didn't have to use much imagination
after getting a glimpse of her costume. Alright people clear your minds
and doh go looking back through the pics for those of you who missed it.
Remember what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!! There were also door prizes
where chosen patrons got to try their luck at card games in attempts to
win prizes courtesy of a local casino.
Big up to the Detrimental
Sound System who came on at a little after 2 am and hyped up the dance.
They really kept the crowd swinging. At minutes after 4 am, quite a good
number of folks were still present. Maybe the night had now begun for
them or that the thought of running into traffic on the way home comforted
them into staying a bit longer. Nah we doubt that ... we are sure it was
the free drinks and good music that just made the time slip away all so
fast. We left shortly after though, and as we drove away, the haunting
myth of being down in de funnel began to come to reality once again. Anybody
knows where de Blimp is ... TJJ needs a lift!
