"What the gal dem want?, to play HOOKIE HOOKIE" lol..ok so I wasn't even suppose to be here for a number of reasons but I end up at the fete, camera in hand and SOOOOO I happy they let me in. Shout out to the promoters for letting a man like me in..and so I had a time!
CROWD:
The crowd was a nice mixture of west indian and american. the place was pleasantly packed with party goers. This was a pool party and so everyone was dressed accordingly. I thought I even saw a yellow floatation dingy and people in it.
VENUE/ACCESSIBILITY:
Venue was a pool side at the capitol skyline hotel, and it was a nice outdoor pool, indoor bar venue. Size was nice for the crowd and it was a lovely day to be around the pool. the people made the venue what is was with their bright colors and vibrant attitude.
VIBES:
Vibes was nice. it's always good to see the american crowd partaking in our island culture. I mean I saw a congo LONG LINE.....if you see man and woman go down low in that line. The music was a mixture and I felt it really made the event what it was.
FOOD & DRINKS:
Even though I didnt get to sample the food it looked GOOD and so the line was long for it. This wasnt inclusive but I surely would have paid. Drinks were a lil hard to get cause so them ladies working the bar were busy, but that didnt stop me from getting that deadly rum punch.
SERVICE:
Overall I was happy with this fete. First time playing hookie ;) and it def. wouldnt be my last. I got my excuse ready already for next year "boss, I went last year, ! MUST go this year" lol
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed hookie. vibes, people, music, service all really made the event. There were even nice HOOKIE T-shirts on sale.
