If you measure a party’s success by the number of people that attend then Face Off at Karma Night Club was extremely successful. Here is a short video clip judge for yourself.

From all reports I got the Face Off party was great… the DJs were excellent.

The major complains were:

1. The bar ran out of some key drinks before the party was over.
2. The poor condition of the ladies restroom. Apparently stalls were not well kept throughout the party, and toilet tissue were not readily replenished.

How about you? Were you at Club Karma Face Off Masquerade 2008? What did you think? Leave a comment below

My first really good lime for the season was at Dodgy Dock in the True Blue Bay Resort last Wednesday night. The one thing you cannot beat Dodgy Dock for is the atmosphere. it’s right on the water and open.

In the picture below I’m hanging with Sheldon (Todd) and Rhett two of my High School buddies. I hadn’t seen Sheldon in probably 15 years.


The young crowd at Dodgy Dock was a mix of St. George’s University (SGU) students, locals, and Grenadians back home on vacation. This is a weekly Wednesday Night affair, and a good alternative to Fantasia. I did not enjoy my last time at the Fantazia Wednesday Night Oldies, but that was 3 years ago so I need to give them a try again.

Back to Dodgy Wednesday Nights… lots of Dancehall, Hip Hop, R&B and Soca  music as one will expect at a predominantly college hangout.

If you happen to be in Grenada on a Wednesday Night and you are looking for a hangout with a younger crowd, then Dodgy Dock is your answer.

Here are some more folks having a good time.

Friday Night I hit Club Karma for the Ladies Free Night. I’ve been waiting more than 9 months to make my return to Club Karma. And despite a very rainy Friday evening the night turned out quite well. The house was not packed but the visiting DJ from Toronto had it rocking.

I was expecting many more ladies since it was their night to get in free before 11:30PM. Maybe the rain kept some of them in, or they held out for the Face Off Saturday Night Party.

I’m keeping this post short… if you haven’t heard about Club Karma, just click this link .

Oh, one more thing… I paid only EC$10 for a Campari and OJ (one of my favorite cocktails) at Club Karma. At the weekly Wednesday Night session at Dodgy Dock in True Blue I paid EC$18 for the same drink, almost twice as much… cheaper drinks are always a plus in my book

Here is a video clip of the action at Club Karma:

Last night I popped into the Creole Shack on the Carenage, and stumble onto a good Karaoke session. Every Friday and Saturday night there’s Karaoke at the Creole Shack, but on this particular night they hosted their annual Karaoke Contest.

My intended destination was Club Karma for the Ladies Free Night, but I got there early and decided to kill some time and a couple beers at the Creole Shack. The Creole Shack is adjacent to Club Karma.

I was curious why Creole Shack had so many people (mainly locals and a few tourists), all tables were occupied, and the bar was busy. Then I heard a Karaoke Contest was about to begin… $3000 on the line. Lucky me, my night was off to a good start.

The little entertainment was quite good, a fair mix of the talented and talentless.

I got so relaxed, and hooked on the Karaoke that when it was time to head up to Karma I was hesitant.

I finally left for Karma around 11:30PM, scouted around there a bit (things were still dead) and headed back down to catch some more Karaoke.

I did not forget my camera this time and got a couple clips… the lighting is bad, and the sound not great, but it will give you a feel for the atmosphere.

I had heard alot of buzz surrounding Grenada’s Club Karma, and when I first set foot in the Club I finally saw what all the excitement was about. It’s a top of the line Night Club, the best I’ve ever seen in Grenada.

My cousin says it reminds her of a Club in South Beach Miami, and if you know anything about South Beach that says a heck of a lot. Personally I find it to be on par with some of Washington DC’s popular night clubs.

My friends who frequent the Club all gave it rave reviews. So you can imagine my disappoint when all primed up, I got there only to find out that they were about to close for the night. Turns out I picked one of their College Night events, and apparently university policy required it to finish at 2:00 AM… at least that’s what I was told.

We got there around 1:45AM, after a Gouyave Fish Fridays and a Kudos hangout… Karma was practically empty. Must not have been the best night.

So on my next trip I intend to make up for that mishap.

Club Karma Location, Events, Anniversary

You will find Club Karma on the scenic and easily accessible Carenge in St. Georges. 10,000 sq.ft of partying space…. think you can handle it?

It’s been going strong for several months now and will soon celebrate it’s 1 Year Anniversary on November 1st.  So Happy Anniversary Club Karma and here’s to many many more bigger and better years.

Here is the quick low down on the events. Seems like Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays are there big nights:

• Wednesday – Bring your “A game” it’s Karaoke Time with drinks specials

 

• Friday After Work – Heineken Happy Hour from 4PM – 9PM. Come unwind and knock back a Heinekin or two, or if you’re like me enjoy a beastly Cold Carib Beer (My favorite)

 

• Friday Night - Dress casual and come party to your favorite music, ladies free before 12:30 AM (as usual always ladies free… why? ).

 

• Saturday Night – More partying, with inclusive drinks, and a tighter Dress Code in effect.

 

On some nights there are special events so my advice is to always call first to be sure what’s scheduled. 473-435-CLUB. I also heard a Sports Bar and Grill are in the works, and that sounds like a perfect addition.

So what about you, have you partied at Club Karma? What do you like or not like about it? Leave a comment below….

Grenada Spices… The Isle of Spice Where Everything is Nice

The best way to take a piece of Grenada back home with you is to get you hands on some Grenada Spices. Grenada is a treasure chest of spices

• Nutmeg, Cinnamon
• Clove, Ginger
• Allspice, Bay Leaf
• Black Pepper, Bird Pepper
• Turmeric or Saffron
• And more

The spices of Grenada are fresh and authentic. You begin to smell their aroma long before you even see them, now that’s authentic stuff.And I’ll bet you won’t find that kind of quality in the corner grocery in your home town.

Use these spices in your favorite recipes, and they will push your culinary skills to another level. The bland, and the ordinary now become flavorful and mouth watering. The compliments just keep rolling in. That’s just what happened to me…

King of the Chili …

Every year my company just outside of Washington DC in Virginia holds a chili cook off. I had never made chili before but I figured that with my Grenada Spices and a little help from a coworker I can make a decent showing.

Well to my surprise, we won! By the end of the event my pot was empty. Some folks even took my spicy chili home to their spouse. And everybody wanted to know what were the spices I used …

That was 5 years ago, since then I have come in second twice and won another first place award. I now hold the record for the most consecutive top finishes. Who would have guessed it! And it’s all because of my secret weapon … my Grenada Spices

Where to get your Spices…

You won’t have to go out of your way to purchase Grenada spices. Just follow your nose, to any of the vendor markets or booths. There is one on Grand Anse beach, and another close to the port where the cruise ships docks. Also any souvenir shop or duty free area are sure to have nicely package spice baskets that will make an excellent and useful gift for your friends back home. So pick up a couple.
