nothing wrong with taking a lil wine and a lil drink every now and again. However,
behind the scenes of most of the parties that take place, there is often a lot
of hard work involved. And with such efforts, it's always a sign of relief to
promoters when they see folks coming out and show their support through thick
and thin, and more important, having ah whale of a time! Well in response of this,
TriniPULSE decided to return the favor by having a charity event called "CrewsAid." Sunday
the 15th of October was the date finally set for the event, as the promoters were
aware of Carifesta celebrations taking place, and wanted to give it the full attention
it deserved. The venue for this charitable event was the Jean Pierre Complex.
TJJ arrived after 6 PM although this event began long time now, that is, since
2 PM. Oh gosh we're Trinis... late appearances are always welcomed. Like
Iwer says, "Tell them ... We Reach!"
Now the car park to the front appeared a bit scanty, but we weren't worried one
bit. As we walked further inside, instincts proved us right. There they were...
cars galore! Upon entering Jean Pierre, true talk... no lie, there were people
all over. Crews upon Crews! All the different crews! Crews that we assumed amounted
to... well it looked like more than twenty people in number each. There were people
everywhere in uniformed jerseys with names like triniPULSE, Insomniacs, Crayon
Crew, Xtatik Limers, Pulse 8, Dream Team, Hyrid Inc., Legacy, Entourage and Spanishlink.
TJJ was told that "2 Ha Quai" and "411 Magazine" crews weren't
there but despite that, their donations would still be donated to charities. Well
boy, what would have happened if all the Crews were there??!! triniPULSE probably
wouldn't have had room for us. Hmmm ... hehe.
Steelpan music was playing, everybody was jumping and waving big and small flags
but wait!! Is this C2k7??!! There was a competition among the steelpan groups
namely Angostura Woodbrook Playboyz, Excellent Stores Silver Stars, ECU Pamberi
and BWIA Invaders; where BWIA Invaders won the title. Congrats guys!! There was
even an on stage competition for crew members. Here a guy and a girl from each
crew competed amongst each other seeing who could win the crowd's favor in the
various contests. The prize for the overall winners of that competition was costumes
courtesy of Mas band Legacy.
The sweet sound of pan music and rhythm sections, not leaving out the DJs, the
food and of course the drinks were definitely entertaining and enjoyable. Oh gosh,
people were everywhere with plenty smiles, waving, laughing and wining. Oh the
revelry of it was too much ... Never! As if that wasn't enough, they even had
their own modeling competition amongst the Crews.
Well to the triniPULSE crew, if anybody tell yuh dey didn't like themselves, they
fib! Much props to you guys and to the success of this event. It looked like a
lot of work but as usual you guys sure did your thing and did it good. TJJ definitely
had ah time even though we weren't able to stay as long as we wished. Til next
folks. |
