WHAT WAS all that ruckus up at Waterfalls on Saturday night/Sunday morning?
If you had trouble sleeping, complain to the staff at Jamaica National Building Society (JN). The JN sports and social club jammed all night at its
'Pre-Valentine Splash' last
Saturday.
Scheduled to start at 9:00 p.m., you know us Jamaican folks just cannot be on time. But when the first heavy
stream of patrons descended upon the venue like a swat
team to a hostage crisis, the JN
partygoers were ready to mix and mingle.
The turntables were in good hands as the crew from Renaissance Disco got the
music thumping early. The
only breaks they took were to give the customary ?shout-outs? to the media crews who were in
attendance. The Sunday Gleaner (we are everywhere), TVJ, Sunday Herald; Nationwide News Network; the whole gamut.
GUESTS SEATED
But, despite the steadily-increasing crowd, most
guests were firmly planted at their tables surrounding the dance area. A quick check by this reporter indicated no
signs of any poisonous substances on it, so what was
the problem?
Well, Renaissance knew how to fix that ? by applying large doses of dancehall from the ?90s. Sure enough, one by one, led by the ladies, guests bubbled over into the area and were soon ?dropping it? to the lyrics of Slam Part II, Big Tings a Gwaan, Body Good and many others.
As the dance floor
welcomed more partakers who could not keep their skins
(or more specifically their feet) on the sidelines anymore, the neon lights went on. Those in white started to glow in the dark,
looking like violet-green people from outer space who were
addicted to dancehall music.
Once the gyrating started, the Renaissance crew had to keep them moving. No problem?cause hit tunes from ?old? rhythms like Joyride and Underwater underlined the
animal in the term party animal.
The Heineken, Red Stripe
and other liqueurs flowed as freely as the hemlines of the
partying femmes. And with plenty to eat, many more tunes and prizes to be won, Sunday morning caught a few patrons inside.
