First 'big' evening/night party of J&B a big succes!! Celebration of Queen Beatrix birthday!

Left: J&B and More bar more full then ever on the 1st Orange Party!

It was an evening never to forget for us at J&B, and ofcourse our friends of the More bar as well. J&B Bar organised on the 31st of January a birthdayparty in honour of HM Queen Beatrix of The Netherlands, who turned 71 years old. For Rob, one of the owners of J&B, it wastrue fun and honourable thing to do as a Dutch guy far away from home ;-)
Ofcourse J&B organised some great entertainment and typical dutch snacks for free. We at J&B had no idear what to expect, simply because such thing was never done in Paradise and outside the main gay soi..... but now, the day after, we can rest assured: the people knew how the find us and we are gratefull for that, because in the end its all the people turning up which makes a party succesfull, not us... how much we might like to think... we just created a framework for everybody to enjoy themselfs.

Kik surprised everybody with the entertainment he provided with his friends from Simon Cabaret, as some say the best cabaret entertainment group outside Bangkok....... and he did put op a show!! I have a feeling that for quite a while people will talk about this party. And not only because of the excellent show, which by the way had a great addition with Leo, from Italy, who did two magnificent numbers and showed that also when one gets older one can still make a heck of an impression on an audiance as spoiled as they are here in Phuket! But also because of the atmosphere! Andf that was not only caused by the people who were present, and the hard working staff of both the bars, but also the setting: Two bars opposite eachother between high buildings, creates also an atmosphere of intimacy which worked out extremely well.
More pictures will follow shortly, they often tell more then loads of words ;-)
ONly one downside one can mention when thinking of this first big party at J&B's: the soundsystem was not at all good....but it was the only stain on an otherwise perfect evening/night... and when we organise a second evening/night a much better soundsystem will be a must because specially for the performers and dancers it can not have bene much fun, the audiance didn't seem to mind, but then again that also had everything to do with the quality of the acts performed!!

Everybody who played a part in making this evening a sucess, and that includes all our visitors of that night, I/we thank you!!
