50 plus people seem to fete more, they are the ones with the money and time to kill. Most come from abroad and it's just a social gathering to meet up with their old friends. For some it's a fashion show and a bling outKenjo wrote:Men want to throw out their age or at least an age range ? It’s typical with most things in life you have to eventually move on . Now obviously people don’t Randomly start to fete at age 50 but it’s something as a youth you either like them or you just aren’t bothered. Not everyone has to be the same . It’s great you figured out yourself a bit more .

Why am I wasting my time and money going to these fetes... only to jump up and wave... same thing every year nothing changes...
It seems like majority of the people there have to be under the influence of alcohol to enjoy themselves... for a moment, for the first time I felt out of place in a fete... I even threw away my drink and left the venue... the girl I carried was so pissed that I wanted to leave early and also not attend Festival of Color which starts at 3
She was supposed to also meet up with a couple friends there so she will be going FoC with them... I was insulted by her but chose to just let it slide...
I thought to myself this fast life is so pretentious and maybe it is time to part ways with it..
Anybody else feel this way?

Yup. I had one of these moments last year.
It was in one of these 'premiere' fetes in which a number of artistes were performing. I enjoyed the socialising part of it where we were able to mix with other folks and have a few drinks and food etc.
Things went downhill for me when the first artiste came on stage. The entire fete went toward the stage. My wife and other friends being avid fans of the artiste made their way to the very front of the stage. Once we reached there, i looked back and it was like the whole of Trinidad was behind me. The artiste began to perform and it was nothing but a list of orders for us. Put up yuh hand, wave yuh flag, jump up, wave, move to the left, move to the right and of course take out yuh phone and put on d flash. Not to mention the drink that i had in my hand eventually finished and maneuvering through the mammoth crowd to get to the bar was not an option. So there i was with an empty cup in hand looking on at this performance which went on for what felt like an eternity to me.
It then dawned on me that at this stage of my life i could think of far better things to do than to pay $1K ($2K for wfey and I) to go to these events and have follow so many instructions.
Dont get me wrong. I do enjoy a good lime and having fun. But as far as the these fetes go, I think i have had more than my share in my teens and twenties.

Up to today, many years later,I cannot take my house/family money and throw it away in a party.
Enjoyed it when I was single. But that was back in Noah's time when a good party cost about $20.00 (before all inclusives came along).
The music was top notch quality as well. Not the screaming crap they have today.
I know quite a few people in their 60's, 70's and 80's, who save their money every year to go to carnival parties and play mas. It makes them happy.
