YFB March Issue- Events- Beerly Legal 2011 {Natalie G}

Off to a banging start or so I heard. Our valued readers know for events like this fashionably late is more my style. Arriving in the heat of the party after 1am ‘BEERLY LEGAL’ was in full swing. As I was told by one patron on my way to the bar: “WE AINT CARE IT’S CARNIVAL IN TNT AND WE HERE AND WE GOING TIL 5AM”. Carnival was definitely in the air for the night, with the perfect mix of Caribbean nationalities the fete had a “well behaved crowd”, free of major incidence.
The Drinks
Through the gates, passing that initial crowd and on to the bar, although crowded, the service was fast the selection of drinks was good. The law lads and lasses were eager to serve and please and party goers were not suffering from any shortage when it came to their ‘liquid friends’.

 

The Music
“You could get with this or you could get with that” and boy oh boy that’s exactly how I felt. With our Caribbean heritage really shining through, with music from Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica and Dominica dominating the turntables, it was good to hear everything from Vybzl Kartel to David Rudder. There was something for all ages and audiences.

The Crowd – Caribbean Unity
With the greeting of open arms by the door from Jamaican and Bajan law students, who were very elated to have the the YFB family covering the event , I could sit and ramble on … but I’ll let them tell you for themselves:

Kevyn  (Barbados)  - “Nice Vibe good music spacious and can only get better its only 2am”

Kevon (Barbados) – “Good Time. Good Drinks. Good Atmosphere”

Valine (St. Lucia) Humanities & Education – “Nice Social Vibes”

Debbie (Belize) Law – “Really Good Turnout. Definitely enjoying myself!”

Sheena (Jamaica) Law – “It been fun! Having a Great time really glad the crowd is behaving bad but in a good way!”

Simone (Trinidad) Social Sciences- “Cool easy going vibe. Great Music!”

Billy (St. Vincent) Social Sciences – “I wish there was more media here, definitely too many lights but I’m having a blast regardless”

The night also saw performances by Fatom Dundeal and Jarell ‘Meatman’ Fenton. Just before 4am we received the results of the Power Soca Monarch Competition and the Beerly Legal Posee definitely took “ADVANTAGE” of that situation being “WOTLESS” as the deejay played the winning tunes.

Beerly Legal gets my 2 thumbs up and I’m sure the freshers are looking forward to the many events for the upcoming UWEEVAL this month.
