LOL. Well there is the silver lining then. hahahahaah

Construction. Well, the Factory’s right around the corner… They’ll probably do a ROARING business that night

Surely by now you should have selected the venue with great expertise for partygoers and knowing the diverse critical community we have, a tried and tested venue for this annual event would have had at least the attendance numbers there .

My expertise say that the venue may be too large for small numbers, decor layout, sound may be a major problem and the image of being down town with the fear of anticipated crime. It may have worked if all the other so called mini after parties and clubs were brought onboard for early planning and buy in by all was made to participate in making it a success and also financially viability. It has got to do with a business model for participation of shareholding for the main party with their club members to create a high standard that we are so all wanting to have. After all we are always trying to benchmark ourselves against New York, Sydney and Mexico Prides. There are at least five after parties at various venues and clubs and in order for a OFFICIAL GAY PRIDE PARTY to host say average of 6-7 thousand participants to attend one party, it would be imperative that all the other clubs support this event. After all this could be seen by the community and committee as the party to pay for those HUGE operating expenses bills at Pride Day at Zoo Lake. In going forward for 2011 I trust the Chairperson with the committee would set about an early participation scheme, say Ramp Divas, Fire Ball, Lemon8, Simply Blue and all other parties to support an OFFICIAL YEAR END PARTY to have a Barnum effect for the diversity of our community both black and white, various taste entertainment, dance floors and to actively seek in getting any current star quality celebrity. This is a task that could be defined as getting the Arab Tribes to sit down and talk.

The financial success, sponsorship increasing the numbers and quality of the event will definitely be seen as an Annual event marked on the calender.

Note that the South African Tourism and Local Tourism Johannesburg office and Corporate sponsors would be gladly supportive if we got a united community to celebrate one day of social political economic and diversity issues and our proud constitution.

Striving for an Africanization of a Pride going forward to another 21 years.
