Date: Friday 10th April 2009 Location: Station 9 Lounge. Washington, D.C. Promotions: Mystic Vibes 6.0, Peppy Entertainment Click on thumbnails to see the big picture/entire gallery The Return of the Donkey We hear dey having de second Annual 90's fete (The Ultimate Retro Party) where dey play all kinda hits from de 90s ... Soca, Reggae & even Hip Hop. Now we have been to 70's & 80's theme fetes but never 90's, so you know we hadda check it out. We reach the venue (Station 9) before midnight and were pleased to see a well organized Caribbean fete. Greeted by the door and being led in to de fete by ah real attractive bouncer set the stage for a well planned and enjoyable lime. Here is the thing though, I am still amazed that after living in DC for so long, Caribbean folks STILL like to come to fete after midnight, as if they have a secret pact with DC police to keep their fete going past 2 in the morning (ok 2:30am with the grace period ... hehe).
Anyway, we on de inside, circling de place, and scoping out de crowd. We were quite happy to see a nice mix of hot men & women, all ready to get on bad. Well let me tell you, this Jungle Juicer placed herself in a prime vantage point to take in all the vibes.
Mystic
