Diamond Vale Breakfast Party - updates

Dear Blog visitors and patrons

At this time we wish to advise you of the following development with the Diamond Vale Breakfast Party tickets.

These tickets were due to be on sale via the promoter and selected committee members as of Boxing Day (26th Dec), however, we were informed that they are not yet available as the printer/ticket provided failed to deliver the order.

In addition, we have been told that the tickets will be given out on a priority basis as they have catered for lower volume for 2008 and have an incredibly high demand.

With this new information coming to us, it is impossible at this time for us to entertain further requests for tickets -Please be aware of this.

We will provide more information as it becomes available to us.

Once again, persons who have indicated interest via email for various tickets and those of you who may have submitted email addresses, please ensure that you have submitted a valid email address, also please add our email addresses - islandcarnival@gmail.com, socadiva70@yahoo.com to your contact list to avoid you missing our update email notifications and price releases.

PLEASE NOTE:
Persons who had earlier reserved tickets are reminded to submit payment for these events if you have not already done so.

Failure to do so would result in us having to offer the tickets to the curent waiting list.

We thank you for your understanding and patience in this.

Feel free to send us an email should you have a query.

The Fete Ticket availability list..

We have had requests asking for the following information, as a result, we've posted it again.

First - The SMALL PRINT: There is a small, and we mean small service fee attached to your booking, and we do require a deposit. Rest assured that this is safe, reliable and secure as we use the PAYPAL system and none of your bank details will be seen. Upon booking, collection location, contact numbers and other information will be sent to you. Please feel free to contact us or ask any questions.

In addition to the fetes, we are also able to provide a limited number of tickets to PANORAMA (steelband competitions)Semi finals and Finals and a very limited amount to DIMANCHE GRAS - these tickets MUST be paid for in full to be secured.


Once again THESE ARE NOT CONFIRMED PRICES....but an estimate to guide you in budgeting for your 'party spend'.

ALSO: please be aware that since the 2007 T&T Budget has indicated an increase in the cost of alcohol and tobacco from 1st January 2008, the actual fete prices may be a little higher than our indicated guides. We will strive to keep you updated with the latest fete prices as they are released.

more to come.............................

don't forget to check out http:/www.islandtempo.com/dejunction/upload/index.php?showforum=12 for all the latest on which fetes are popular and why..plus more info....

Wine...........wining.....wineology

No people, this has absolutely nothing to do with the alcoholic beverage. This is solely an breakdown and guide to dancing in T&T for Carnival....so for all de first timers, fresh waters, etc yuh will have a lil idea as to what yuh seeing or doing in a fete.

Like ah stated..dis here blog is all bout feteing....so on with de wine!!!

Wine*, Winin' A sexually suggestive dance using winding hip movements that can make the hula look tame, usually done to soca music......

or

WINING* The dance in Trinbago during Carnival is called "winin'", the "wine" is probably the closest thing to having sex with your clothes on that you're likely to see.

Winin' has recently been co-opted by music video vixens, so you have probably seen this dance or even done it without knowing the origin. Men winin' on women (and those women winin' back) is a major part of carnival; strangers commonly dance up to each other and begin this intimate dance.

Any woman in a carnival band or fete (party) is likely to be approached in this way. Don't take offense if you (or a wife or girl friend) are approached by a really dirty dancer who doesn't ask before making physical contact.

If you are not interested in joining in (by winin' back), good naturedly move away from the other person, they will usually move on to find someone more receptive.



WINING WORDS by Lisa Allen-Agostini

Wine up: to wine vigorously

Wine down: to wine while lowering the bottom to the ground in a squat

Wine around: to wine in a circular motion, or to move around while wining

Tief a wine: to creep up behind or in front of someone and wine on them surreptitiously

Take a wine: to boldly do same

Give (someone) a wine: to allow someone to wine on you; a pity wine

Wine back: to actively participate in a wine initiated by someone else

Wine to (music): self-explanatory

Small wine: a short wine

Hard wine: a particularly vigorous wine, usually on someone

Slow wine: a wine to a slow song, or on every other beat

Sweet wine: a wine that feels good, arousing

Dutty wine: a wine with bad intentions, a true jamette wine, uninhibitedly sexual

Rough wine: wining fast and hard, usually with someone

Social wine: a polite, non-sexual wine, done by someone who either can’t wine well or who wants people to think they’re too high-class to wine well

Stiff wine: an awkward wine lacking the fluidity of spine that characterises a fine wine

Tourist wine: the half-a-beat-out-of-time and amateurish wine practised by tourists who don’t know the art

Dollar wine (after Colin Lucas’s 1991 hit “Dollar”): to wine from left to right, then back to front. The song lyric invites you to put a one-cent piece in your left pocket, five-cent in your right, ten-cent in your back pocket, and a dollar in front under your belt; then you thrust your hips in the following pattern: cent, five-cent, ten-cent, dollar

Wine in time: correct wining, done to the dominant beat of the music

Wine out of time: incorrect wining, done to the offbeat or no beat at all

Walk and wine: in a display of sauciness or impertinence, or overt sexuality, a woman (or man, usually gay) may walk while shaking her bottom

Wine on (someone): to wine against someone, either facing them or from behind

Wine in (someone’s) face: metaphorical. To trounce, to lord it over someone

Wine off (one’s something): to wine so hard that something surely must be broken

Just a wine: Though a wine could mean more, sometimes it is just dancing and nothing else

Now that we have the general idea of what to do with yuh body when yuh reach de fete...

Now: for a visual on wine...no one better dan Denise Belfon to demonstrate...see below........

and doh get tie up..de men does wine too..dat coming soon!!

Fete tickets for T&T Carnival events 2008

This blog is created as a spin off from our thread at http://www.islandtempo.com/

Members and Admins of that site have used the services in the past and can reccommend us to others as a reliable trustworthy source for locating hard to get fete tickets at reasonable prices..........(this service is mainly for those living overseas - UK, USA, CANADA, JAPAN, etc..yuh get de idea!!)

This is a first come, first served basis...and by this we mean, first come with deposit is guaranteed of receiving tickets. Those of you who used the service in 2006 & 2007 will be familiar with the procedure and understand the reasons behind the deposit. For our first time customers, the deposit is necessary as we will not be left responsible to any promoter for ordering/purchasing tickets and only at the last moment have persons cancel and be left out of pocket.

A friendly piece of advice: BUDGET EARLY...and of course order early as Carnival is early Feb and tickets will sell out maybe before Mid January.. here is a guide to your tickets based on 2007 prices with an approximate increase for 2008.....2009..2010..etc..etc

There will be a very small service fee attached to your orders to facilitate processing...this will not be a fee to DIG OUT YUH POCKET.....

Again.....THESE ARE NOT CONFIRMED PRICES....but an estimate to guide you..
