Nightmare Happy
Halloween - if dat's your ting, yuh zi mi. *cough* First thing I would
like to say is... the scariest thing about Halloween
2001 was Friday night. Couple things was going on. Mello Vibes
at Mas Camp - which apparently was the SHIZNIZZLE. Kurt and Arif always
provide...read
Spliff's review here
So, that was Friday. Saturday was great. The night started off with a POETRY & JAM SESSION at Grosvenor Gallery, 1 Grosvenor Rd. Trust me, I have to give my props to Douglas for a creative, well thought out and very well promoted event. This being the first one, and being so successful - I expect to be attending another one very soon. Count Whaddat?Com in on the promotions, seen? Aight... As I digress...On to NIGHTMARE at the Hilton. We reach late. Late like 2am. I was very disappointed to see so many people in regular street gear. I guess not much has changed over the years. Not like the dropping off of the dress code at Sweet Sixteens (they were Black Tie once...yesss). Ever since I've presented myself to this somewhat petty social circuit, there have always been people just too cool for costume, yaknowhutamsayn? I suppose there are those who have outgrown it, or have just never been into the whole masquerade, but come now people - would it kill you to don a simple mask or something? Whateva's cleva...the party was jumpin!!
To tell you the truth...I hardly expected it to have such a good turn out! Well, that was until after Friday night. I mean, because of the rain of course. Normally, for years, Nightmare has been a huge Halloween bashment at Caymanas and up the Valley back in the day. Usually an all-inclusive, I was disappointed that the promoters chose this -quite frankly- dumb venue. A ballroom? Come on! It occured to me last year after Big Life got kicked out the Talk of the Town restaurant at Pegasus and was forced to have their session in a ballroom. Remember?? That was TERRIBLE! Hot and stuffy. Maaaan! But, really....this wasn't THAT BAD. The nice likkle vibe mek up for the ballroom ends, and the bar was SO easy to get at. Juice in a Jiffy - and you just KNOW how we love that. Just please...Mrs. Phillipson, Bobby...don't do it again. Bring back the original Nightmare vibe, nuh? I know is very very expensive to put on a big dance, but the Party People dependin' on you. Y'alls foundation, DUN KNOW!
Another gripe...I have to. WAH ALLA DEM PICKNEY A DO IN DEH? Jeeeeeesum!!! I think I saw an 8 year old in deh. No lyin. Weh dem parents dem deh? Dem know seh dem baby girl a dress up in some likkle skimpy tings out a road til all kinda hours in di morning? Something has got to be done about this insane population of severely under-aged party goers! ID nah go work. Can't the promoters just use their best judgement and turn back the kids? They kill the vibe man. Oglin and standin up vibeless and nervous and ting. Cha-a-aaa. Nix dat man. If anybody under 16 is reading this...take some advice from a veteran (I was just like you once)...IF you INSIST on going out to an adult event, please loosen up and try to relax a little. You could try to make friends with some older people. That way, in the future they might let you tag along with them on a flex and maybe you'll be able to fit in a little better. Second thing - DO NOT (very important) OVER DO the DRINKING and the SHMOKIN'. Getting TWISTED at such a young age amongst a slew of adults is NOT CUTE. Girls - go easy on the make up and next to nothing gears. You don't want to attract the wrong kind of admirer. And boys - don't hit on older and taller girls. They don't like you. Alright..that's enough. Nightmare
was a blast! I had alot of fun, and the mix of people was
good. Everybody seemed to have a really good time - costume or no
costume. It's unfortunate that the whole Halloween vibe wasn't there
this year, and I hope to God that y'all are reading this right now
in high spirits - safe & sound...
