AGH PURLEEEZ. Did you even bother to go out from behind your computer screen dude? If you did go and if you took note of the weather, you would have realised that the mega storm the night before resulted in a mini flood… Rain, water and flooding resulted in all the beach sand been washed into the pool… Like duh… Anyway it made the pool look more like the sea… Its a concept party, and it was fun, even though the weather did not play along… Note to self, attend the next one and maybe you could lighten up and nopt be such a bitter old fart…

Most of the guys are in jeans and shirts…its a pool party boys not a typical night out…. six packs, retro slim fit boardies and sunglasses ??? or are we hiding something 🙂

ps: they could have done an emergency clean up of the pool in the morning, it looks really bad.

When looking at the flyer that advertised the event it boasts:

H20 LAUNCHES IN SPECTACULAR STYLE AS WE TURN THE GAY CLUB TEMPLATE UPSIDE DOWN!! This created an expectation of something extraordinary and massive. Instead, all we got were a few fleamarket stalls and extended outside space with a new lapa. Hardly spectacular.

DEDICATED VIP AREA: I’m still trying to find this VIP area. Nowhere in or around the venue was there a visible space where ‘VIP’S’ could party, no dedicated bar, no safer parking or separate entrance normally associated with a ticket that cost more than twice the amount of a regular ticket. This was just blatant thievery. The organisers should be ashamed that they’d rob guys who are regular patrons to Risque in this manner. MASSIVE FAIL THERE!!

SEXY LIFEGUARDS ON DUTY (WITH FREE RUBDOWN) I guess the fact that the sun was not blazing was adequate reason to cancel the lifeguards altogether because all day there was not a single ‘sexy lifeguard’ in sight and the absence of suntan lotion was overwhelming!! MASSIVE FAIL THERE!!

OUTRAGEOUS COCKTAILS ALL DAY!! Not for lack of trying but the only cocks and tails I saw where those at the urinals. ANOTHER OUTRAGEOUS FAIL!!

FOAM AREA SMIRNOFF MULE COMPETITION – WIN A TRIP FOR TWO TO MOSCOW!! MASSIVE GIVE-AWAYS ETC….. Again, there where no announcements made during the day, we did not see anything handed out to the crowd and to my knowledge, no trip to Moscow was won! If I’m wrong on the last part I ask that the organisers announce the winner (with pics at the event) of this great price. A story on this site would do well to explain your side and reasoning behind the MASSIVE FAILURE THAT WAS GAYH20.

Finally, it would do you well to go back to the drawing board and revise your approach to getting people through the door. Creating an event with massive promises and huge hype will do the trick once. BUT: when those promises are really empty promises with no intent to deliver you’ve made yourself guilty of FALSE ADVERTISING. Similarly, when your intentions are good but you FAIL TO DELIVER on your promises the same thing will happen: people will stay away from your venue and your events.

If you disagree with this review, please do so without attacking me and by stating your reasons why you disagree.

Well said Azayin. It’s all big promises but little delivery. They owe us all an explanation…

Disappointed. I’m still a little sour by the whole thing.

There were 6 of us who spent over R700 on VIP and Normal Tickets expecting all the promises on the advertising!

I know you can’t do anything about the weather but ultimately it didn’t rain on the day and nothing that was advertised was done – sorry except for the DJ line-ups. Feel sorry for a few of them that played to empty floors.

But getting back to my point of paying the entrance – we may as well have driven to Pta and gone clubbing at Legends – it would have cost us less and at least we would have been assured of a kick-ass party!

We stayed till relatively late when alot more people started arriving and everyone that I spoke to was bitching about paying R80 for entrance at 10pm once the H20 thing was already over.

We left soon after – our party mood had abandoned us big time!

Sorry guys – I’m a fan but I’m beginning to feel ripped off.
