2d Party, Carnaval, also a big succes.....

Left: BUsy preparing for the Carnavalparty, M busy with decorations and lamps, our Dutch friend/farang helping him, and DJ It (plays her discs on Bangla Road and in Boat Bar), who took care of parts of the music of that night watching on.... and 4 hours to go till kick off time ;-)

Mondag the 23d of February J&B Bar, this time together with More bar, organised a 2d 'night party' in Paradise Complex with again a wonderfull little show by Kik and his friends, ergo Kiks friends from Simon Cabaret. And also Leo, the Italian presented two acts again.
That the Thai find it hard to understand the meaning of carnaval and the style of music used during carnaval, was just a minor disttraction. One can not expect that they know all about our weird carnaval habits overnight.
In the end, as it turned out, I was the only one who actually dresed up weird/funny.. none of the Thai did, and none of the tourists who came... which made mee feel quite out of place but same time most of the 'farang' from Europe understood and appreciated my effort. The Thai thought it funny. My husband Kik though forbid me to go all the way on punishment of immidiate divorce, haha, and we negotiated the outfit which I wore in the end the whole evening.
Well, happy to say... sofar nobody send me a snap shot of me in that weird outfit, LOL, but then I think not even a digital camera would be able to deal with that, haha

BUT all in all this 2d party was also a succes, though still a lot to learn, to make more smooth and eficient, we allready made very decent progress compared with the Orange party. Ofocurse the amount of visitors was much less, so at first I was gloomy about the whole thing, but then reports came back in (sounds like a military operation, huh? haha) that the main gay street was relativly doing as well as during the Orange party, ergo, we did a damn good job.
Still, the music was better, the acts were better, the location of the acts improved and the set up of the party as whole improved significantly..... But I wouldn't be a typical Dutch guy if I wouldn't admit, or say, that there's still lots of room for improvement.

Preparation of a party is important, but thats one element with which the Thai seem to have a real big problem... everything sems to have to be organised at the last moment, which for a farang like me, is a real ordeal..... BUT a more then wonderfull learning experience again and above all I was happy to see that most customers enjoyed themselfs enormously.

So, I thank all our customers for not only truly enjoying our 2d party, but also being good sports for those moments that things didn't go as they should have been going.

Al in al it was a true suces again and I let the pics speak for themselfs ;-)
