On a lighter note... My father is here 5 days and is already in the news :) Bati Bleki, Sept 9th, 2013 Posted on September 8, 2013 by Rona CONSIDER OURSELVES LUCKY. My friend Beto Wernet , Romar Trading, reported Red Bull & water sales at the Electric Festival were super-charged. Apparently, the little pills which make that music bearable dehydrate party-goers considerably, and the need for refreshment is frequent. Thus we are lucky because we had no mass Molly overdoses, during the weekend. But the drug culture goes hand in hand with that music, and I am not pointing fingers because my mother was equally concerned about my obsession with the Police and Sting, Queen and Freddie Mercury, in my days. Beto also reported that the bars ran out of Old Parr which is an indication that we had lots of Latin Americans in the house. Kudos to those visionaries at the helm of tourism for being open to new forms of entertainment, and making the festival happen. Seven thousand people attended the Surfside decibel-belching arena on the first night. From the outside it looked like a futuristic city. We had civilized dinner over chilled Italian Prosecco at Pinchos Bar & Grill early Friday evening and just that tiny bit of noise threatened to create permanent hearing loss, associated with a prolonged period of ringing in my ears. I read that in the UK pill vendors maximized their profits and capitalize on the opportunity by selling mood altering pills on the influx, going in, and the-morning-after-pills, on the way out, with the hope of helping young women who may have fallen victim to a-moment-of-festival-passion. That way young electric music fans are able to enjoy their favorite DJs without the need to worry about long-term effects, besides deafness. Incidentally, at Pinchos we met Food & Beverage legend Joost Barens, in town to help launch the West Deck, the beach bar and island grill across from the governor’s home, on the corner of Lagoonweg, by his life-long friends Anabela Peterson de Sousa, and husband Robby, with a menu of small delicious plates, to be enjoyed in a theater of sunsets. Joost will help crank out the menu, that’s what friends are for!
