CROWD:
Hmmm well judge for yourself from the pics! But in our humble TJJ opinion... eye candy for the girls - check ! Eye candy for the boys- check !!! Check !!
Super Friends sexy crowd filled out Ten Palms @ Gulfstream without it being too packed .... There was definitely room for more but the space meant more room to jam!

VENUE/ACCESSIBILITY:
Ten Palms is located on the 2nd floor at the Gulfstream Park and Casino complex, and we must say pretty damn sexy and we personally preferred it to the 2009 venue (Living Room on SoBe) both in terms of parking availability and ambience. It all got a bit dark at one end but maybe that was a part of the plan *wink wink* ... and a stage for the DJ and the performance smack bang in the middle made it pretty easy for everyone  to be a part of the show.  It was a little tricky to find out exactly where in this huge complex the party was located though so unless you are a local allow plenty of time to find someone to follow :-)

VIBES:
Now we got to say after 2009, we were a lil' bit nervous about Super Friends tonight ... BUT FEAR NOT! The vibes were definitely in the house for 2010!! People didn't stop jamming from the time they reach! So much so, that it meant the bar was always clear to get a drink! :-) We see people drop to the ground in excitement! Wine on the poles, wine on the bar! Wine on the stage! Man wining on anything!!! Woman wining on anything!!! By the time BIM Soca Sensation Edwin Yearwood came on stage in the early hours of the morning, vibes were at a peak as the groupies made their way to the front to catch this Bajan man in action! We must say that for one man and a DJ (shout out to Dr. Jay de Soca Prince for backing Edwin) the performance was on point as Yearwood sung out all the Ladies favourites and had them smiling from ear to ear!!! The music was great with a real mixture of up to date music, Soca and Dancehall going way back too .. and the crowd was loving it! If the vibes are this good in 2011, Super FRIENDS is a party not to miss! Everyone had a ball, and for those who thought they were coming for a short while to head out to another fete (including us) ... no chance, yuh ain't leaving!

FOOD/DRINK:
Hmm a tricky one here as there was a distinct smell of curry in one part of the venue with some warming plates which made us think maybe there was food at some point in the night, but we didn't actually see anyone with food so apologies to the SF crew if we missed something but this section ... is now all about drinks !

Now as we said the venue wasn't too packed and so whilst there were no queues at the bar... it still took a while to get drinks as there were only a few people serving. It did however get easier during the night and there were no complaints! Apparently the barmaid was pretty easy on the eye too which always helps!! ;-)

SERVICE
:
Everything ran smoothly... promoters were on hand most of the night and there were no queues or hiccups of any kind! SF 2010 was a big success! Niceness :-)

COST/VALUE:
Tickets bought in advance were either £20 or $25 which seemed pretty standard for most fetes, especially with a Live PA... so well worth the bucks! Our guess is you probably had to pay more at the door, but like Posh always says, if you can't get organised and get tickets early, unlucky!
