The silent disco (Jagermeister Bar Staff Incentive party)

Ever heard of a silent disco, well you’re not alone because I hadn’t either up until last night. The concept is simple, creative and it works! Last night I captured the action at the Jagermeister Bar Staff Incentive party at The Star Bar hotel in South Melbourne. The Kräuterlikör liqueur flowed freely amongst the patrons while donning headphones listening to one of three DJs pumping out a diverse genre of dance music. The silent disco has a certain verbal irony about it because, without headphones you can’t hear the music yet you still hear what everyone is saying…..or singing!

As said earlier, the concept works well because, by changing channels on the headset, you decide what you want to listen to and at your preferred volume.  Everyone dances while listening to different tunes but for most of us when it comes to dance moves, it’s all the same movements on the floor. For those choosing to have a chat with friends, simply remove the headset and chat! Perfect!

The layout of the Star Bar hotel lends itself well for such an occasion with its various seating and dancing areas. The staff were kept busy behind the bar and Jagermeister promotional girls made sure patrons were well catered for while helping promote the brand. An ice sculpture added an interesting attraction as shot size drinks were be poured through the frozen art form giving receivers on the other end a chilly refreshment.

The pace of the night never let up seeing many a party goer continue on after till who knows when. With its new range of RTDs on the market and many having sampled its delectable flavours last night, I’m sure you’ll find your local drinking hole catering for the new Jagermeister range so why not broaden your preferences and try one!

Party on!

Cheers,

Ballarat Beat Fest 2013

50’s retro stamped its mark on the city of Ballarat last weekend with the inaugural Ballarat Beat Festival organised by well known rockabilly identity, Arthur Matsakos who is also responsible for the Camperdown cruise. While I was only able to take in this 50’s vibe on Saturday, it was enough to give me an idea of the experience the public were going to be treated to over the weekend! With a huge number of bands lined up seeing them come from as far as the United States, multiple venues in the surrounding streets were booked to host the rockabilly renaissance while classic rides and rods line the road adding to the 50’s feel. Bands such as the Atomic Hi-Tones, The Sugar Shakers, The Re Chords and the Rising Sun just to name a few while swing band, Lucky 7 featuring Pia Andersen showed us how the big bands do it. A centrally located outside stage with accompanying dance floor had rockabilly tunes reverberating across the historic town adding the perfect ambiance while many dressed for the occasion completing the overall picture. Trade stands lined the sidewalks filled with all things rockabilly while more visual entertainment could be found throughout the streets.
For those who were after something a little more cheeky, the burlesque show would be just the ticket as the girls entertained the audience with their classic raunchy dance escapades. Other venues hosted art expos, more trade stands and even a high tea for the discerning.
Glamour Central were on hand to dress, hair-do and photograph those wanting to delve into this lifestyle if only for the weekend. Many a stunning rockabilly girl left here having been transported back to a time of perceived innocence and colourful style. The boys were looked after by a traditional barber located conveniently next to one of the many bars on hand. With a fashion show and best dressed parade allowing attendees to strut their stuff, all five censors were catered for guaranteeing to leave a lasting impression which will see them and myself attend next year though this time I’ll be planning to stay the whole weekend, grinning, greased and gassed!

St. Kilda fest

Hi, last weekend I headed to the St. Kilda festival along the picturesque St. Kilda foreshore. This annual event hosts a number of bands and buskers along with various trade stands and other entertainment. The festival runs for a week with the final day seeing crowds of around half a million take part in the festivities. If you are yet to experience this event and are in the area or are looking for a great weekend away, why not check it out next year and don’t forget to bring your dancing shoes!

Fashions on the field- Geelong Revival 2012

Every automotive event needs some finesse and the Geelong Revival was no exception thanks to the beautiful fashion contestants and promotion girls seen strolling around the Geelong Waterfront throughout the annual motoring festival. The highlight of the weekend for fashion aficionados and attendees was the Fashion on the Field parade held on Sunday in the SteamPacketGardens. Contestants dressed up in period style trends fitting the event’s early automotive themes found across the foreshore and were judged on their creations by a dedicated team of judges. With the competition tight, judges had their work cut out for them and selected winners in a variety of categories while one lucky lady walked away with the privilege of being titled the overall winner.

The promotion girls were looking stunning as usual and came from a variety of different supporters including the event’s own Just Geelong Revival girls and could be seen brightening up the scenery with their presence while showcasing their sponsor’s wares.

Why not come down and join in the festivities yourself next year and have fun dressing up accordingly? You’ll fit right in and may even walk away with the coveted grand prize!

See you all at the next event!

Cheers!
