Tru: Pip 'n Ting..ok.
Mic: a mus' reach.
Fyah: If you are reading this review because you missed Pip 'N Ting, you missed out.
Tru: It was OFF THE CHAIN.
Fyah: That's all I kept hearing from Tru the whole drive home.
Tru: Everything about the party, except for a few issues (we soon address dat) was GREAT!
Mic: Yes well, it took a good two hours for my vibe bug to kick in still. I was wandering around trying to find it in between VX runs. But I found it. It was on the stage when Cocoa Chanelle took charge of the turntables.
*BRAP BRAP*

Tru: Cocoa Chanelle bad still.
Mic: Masterful.
Fyah: I think all the music was wicked. Everyone did put out a great effort.
Tru: I agree.
Mic: I love the fact that the deejays were exclusive and not every single uptown sound in Kingston was playing. It was a pleasant change. Epps and Cocoa Chanelle brought a wicked vibe from fareign.
Tru: Everybody was clearly enjoying themselves and enjoying the music.
Fyah: Everybody was dancing. But it seems like Pip 'N' Ting just naturally brings that out of people.

Tru: PLUS everyone came out in their FINEST!
Fyah: Yes man. I have to make a special note of that. Everyone looked so beautiful. Even all the men put effort into their gears. I love to see that. Gimme some eye candy man!
Mic: Please don't get me started on the eye candy, or the review a go too long.
Tru: Yeh man. It was a beautiful thing!

Fyah: Ok, just a question? What exactly was the purpose of the VIP?? Everyone I spoke to said it was unnecessary, and I personally thought that it served for segratory purposes more than anything else. It basically cut the party into two. Which, I suppose is why they eventually opened it to "the public".
Tru: That was stupid. And eventhough they did open it up..they couldn't move the barrier dem? Because the quote unquote VIP section was the wackest part of the party in the BEST location of the Golf Club.
Mic: "FU*KERY!" said Sean Paul. But, dem sey that they never wanted to use the pool area this time, and that "every club have a VIP section so...".
Tru: Pip 'N' Ting is not a club PLUS people in the VIP paid the same money to come in or probably never paid at all! That to me is unfair.
Mic: Seen. I thought it was terrible...the whole setup! The party was actually divided into THREE parts!! And trust me..that makes picture takin' a bitch!
Fyah: My main problem with it, is that it took the focus off the main party for a while and I saw to many people queuing up in large crowds just to get back there! And alot of them were refused! Furthermore there was no VIP treatment back there. Maybe just the perk of the clean bathrooms downstairs.
Tru: The other ones were dutty?
Fyah: I don't know, but I saw the line!

Mic: VIP had VX. There was no VX at the main bar. AND I think that two or MAYBE three of the Platinum Russians would have been ENOUGH!!!! GAWD! Gross!
Tru: I thought strippers were supposed to be hot, but what the hell do I know?
Fyah: The only strippers I saw were the ones in the foam pool with these little grey haired men watching them.
Mic: And half the men in the venue for a while!
Fyah: I mean, I saw what they were trying to do, but it never quite reach it.
Tru: I'm sure who they were targeting appreciated it very much. So all was not lost!

Fyah: YUP! Anyway, the cocktails idea was wicked! They were a little sweet but it was a cool vibe. ALTHOUGH, the bar service was fu*kery once again.
Mic: How so?
Tru: Short staffed. And I think one a dem is kinda deaf.
Fyah: I don't think that the problem is that they are short staffed. I think that two of the bartenders in particular are very rude. I've had that experience with them at other parties. But the rest of the Coconuts & Cocktails staff is really nice! Big up Laura again! She always deal with us good.
Mic: Well, the service behind the "VIP" bar was definitely lack lustre. The main bar service was great if you ask me! My guys were back there. You know who you are!

Tru: Well, apart from some of the bartenders and the little VIP incident, it was a blast!! Those guys...dem know wha dem a do. Dem coulda include some food though *laugh*
Fyah: Dem yute deh know how fi throw a party!
Mic: TRUS' MI. I ended up having a ball. You know you had to drag me home!...
Tru: BIG UP BLACK CHINEY!
Mic: ...I was happy to go back and take down the banner! *snicker* Wha yuh a seh 'bout Black Chiney, Tru?

Tru: Dem jus' BIG! Respec'!
Mic: Pepsi, Dilly..YUH LARGE, YUH LARGE!!

Mic: Yeh on that note...Happy Birthday Bling Dawg!! Sorry we missed your party! Daaaayum.
Tru: Dat was supposed to tuff!

Fyah: All in all I had a wicked time. I WILL be at the next Pip 'N' Ting, and I will be looking forward to those Daiquiries (a little less sweet, a little more rum, though).
Tru: Please believe it!
Mic: I just want to thank Philip (for the use of his Elph), Biishop, Jamie, Epps & Stephen for taking some great pics for us! Bless bless. All in di fambily. See ya Christmas y'all!! ONE!
