Black Velvet Concepts brought their special touch to 51 Degrees lounge on the night before the Republic Day Holiday. The party themed 'Identify' was intended to be a celebration of the patriotic holiday in true Trini style. Once again Black Velvet delivered all that was promised!

I'm assuming people were moving late since they had no work the next day, so by 12:30 AM when we arrived, the scant crowd was still hovering close to the walls. Of course some were patronizing the bars, getting their drink on in anticipation of good times to come. An hour later however the club was filled with Black Velvet's crowd of typically enthusiastic feters.

In honour of the anniversary of our Country being a Republic, it was only fitting that Black Velvet pay tribute to our recent Olympic heroes. Members of the Trinidad and Tobago Olympic athletic team including 100m Silver medallist Richard 'Torpedo' Thompson were saluted as they continued to celebrate their victorious performance in Beijing, VIP style.

The night before a holiday always has more vibe than any other and this night was no exception. The DJs kept the party swinging with all the latest, while the gals and guys flexed out amid the red, black and white décor. Radioactive's Hypa Hoppa took to the set around 3am, and continued selecting hot tunes and even mixed it up with a pop/alternative/old school rock & roll session that had patrons singing along at the tops of their lungs. It was definitely one of those nights when the DJs could do no wrong (and they didn't) cause the crowd was dancing to everything.

By the time we left around 4:00 AM, the party was still going strong and no doubt went on into the wee hours of the morning.

Happy Republic Day T&T from all at TJJ.

Teekay signing out!!!
