So Glow fete was sorta worth the $30 USD/ $60 BD price tag. Not being a fan of parties that are not all-inclusive I had some apprehension about this but I am sooo glad I chose this over Frazzled, which was about the same price but as far as I know had no performances and finished waay before Glow. We left Glow around 5am and the party was still goin...whereas only silence was coming from the Frazzled venue.

VENUE: The venue was well decorated, with great placement of the bars and bathrooms relative to the stage and main dancing floor so there was a smooth flow of foot traffic. The bar had a chit system which didnt really make sense to me as you could literally buy the chits from one woman and then take one step to the right and buy your drink with the chits...seemed unnecesary. Parking was terrible! People parked all up on the pavement, on the nearby roundabout, etc. To be fair though some of the cars may have belonged to the Frazzled Mug Fete which was held across the street.

VIBE: The vibe was good as well, not tooo hype but you could tell everyone was enjoying themselves, so much so that not even a lil rain cud spoil that fete, ppl just kept right on jammin and wukkin up.

PERFORMANCES: Too many to even remember them all. Krosfyah to Alison Hinds to the reigning soca monarch Blood to my personal fave Stabby and more! P.S. I got to meet Stabby :D #groupielove lol The Hypa Kids also came out and performed their hit 'Happy Feet' and swear they get more forward than some of the soca veterans. Doh talk for when small man took charge and started issuing directions, it was too cute, especially when he told the band to wheel n come again lol

What struck me most about this party was that not having been to trini carnival in so long (5 years) I got accustomed to only seeing big headliners like Machel and Bunji perform at the intl carnivals. So it was a welcome change to see all my faves performed live ESPECIALLY Krosfyah's set as they performed nuff oldies...sigh...it was like Private Ryan's groovy soca mix come to life.
