The Easter Fantasy

So we have this dream. We dream of a beach whipped into a frenzy by the rhythm of the riddims and the sonic boom of the baseline harmonizing with the rustic ocean breeze and the crash of the waves.

It is 2012 and this is NOT Another EEEmpire Beach Lime. Actually it is.

#NAEBL takes another inevitable turn to Tyrico Bay, its home and re-claims its space in the Easter calendar. From twelve midday expect an influx of people armed with cups and coolers. The beach will be equipped with a line array set up(very bloodclart loud speaker set up)  to give the Red Bull Pinzi the perfect sound boost.

The tone will be set, but as though hundreds of ladies in bikinis and guys with assorted Alcohol collections was not enough, there will be a LIVE riddim section determined to beat to the riddim of the base. Walk across to the bar, be sure to take two shots for prosperity and chug some beer on your journey. You will be greeted by friendly bar tenders eager to serve to your satisfaction who will start the conversation by offering you some gummy bears to snack on.

Still hype about that Project X movie you saw?
Well these kids don't really care to be cool as seen in the movie, they are quite content with being misfits. However the insane, almost awkward wild abandonment will be recreated for the pleasure of our well greased waistlines. Zip line off a coconut tree if you may. Whatever you do, don't mess with those lifeguards. Nesta Boxill is expected to Host, ushering in talented selectors from across Trinidad. If you prefer a slower pace, more social lime or you must be in the heat of the moment and flex till you sweat, expect satisfaction here. The unblocked shoreline allows for a seamless transition into the dance floor and the sidelines. You may choose to pick up some small goal football or nintendo wii earlier in the day or just sip on some sizzurp till nightfall.

Summer time in Tobago!

What exactly does this mean for Triple E Fam?

Great Fete Weekend of course! This year, Triple E hopes to add to the experience of all by hosting its own beach lime on Friday July 29th. Just the right way to kick off your long Emancipation weekend, without restrictions and inhibitions.

On the beach during Great Fete Weekend 2010

Not Another Beach Lime is a FREE. BEACH. COOLER. PARTY. As such its unique formula is bound to attract limers and diehard partiers from both islands. What is in store for NAEBL tobago?

Group Activities!
So one up from Beach Twister Tobago allows for several water sports. Patrons of NAEBL will be allowed to ride repeatedly on a Jet Skii under the supervision of experienced extreme sport wardens.
On the shore, limers will be treated to day time eating and drinking races and the occasional body shots served at the right moments.

Bar B Que on the Sand
What better to soak in the atmosphere than scintillating Bar B Que chicken soaked in Bar B Que sauce. A step away from the gyro man, our Bar B Que promises to be fulfilling and tasty.

Interactive Bar

Coolers are encouraged! Why make trips to the bar when your cooler can be re-stocked at intervals by our bar staff? Why worry about bar prices in the first place when you can bring your own drinks and get high off your own supply? What if we abolished the shot cup, and served Tequila in water guns?

No Evidence
To propel our event into euphoria and release all from inhibition, we will be deliberately leaving the entire beach photographer free after sundown. This is done to ensure whatever happens in Tobago stays in Tobago. Note: security on duty will be equipped with flash lights and metal detectors to weed out the unwanted elements and the bar area will be lit. That said, the majority of the beach will be dark allowing skimpy\skinny dipping. Its Tobago, so please leave all copulation for your hotel room.

Swallows Beach

Swallows Beach is located between Store Bay and Pigeon Point Beach. Besides the clear shallow waters and white sand, one is sheltered by coconut trees giving a unique Tobago tropical postcard feel. Similar to Tyrico, this is not a mainstream beach, and as such limers shall be for the greater part left alone and not harassed by chair sales men or curious onlookers.

Party from a pirogue or on the shore!

The Easter Spectrum. 2011.

The sun is too hot. The people need beach. Sentiments shared by the hundreds of people who congregated for the 5th installment of the never ending "Not Another EEEmpire Beach Lime" series. 

Rain, traffic and haters had a hard time stopping the proceedings. From 10am 76 eager beach goers assembled at several shuttle pick up points, coolers in tow adorned with shades, beach wear and an avaricious appetite for vibes. By 1pm patrons piled onto Tyrico, greeted by fresh and clean beach waters, Tassa drums and shocked beach campers. Many Indo-Trinidadians set up camp sites on Tyrico bay , complete with amenities such as Television sets, Hammocks and Popcorn Machines. These were quite interested in the large procession of smartly dressed and barely clad youngsters. 

Two ladies share a lighter moment with Mr. Box Head and his bottle of Bacardi!

At 2pm all activity was at a minimum as the Red Bull Pinzi was unavailable for use, so no Nintendo Wiii tournaments as the case in "9.1.1" the January beach lime. Re-stocking on drinks and vibes the crowd played ball, took brief dips in the water or just sat around and sent "PINGS!" to Ken's blackberry.

Some Drinks from our NAEBL Bar

By 4.30pm, not a moment too soon, riding in from the west, on a van tray, under coconut trees... was the eagerly awaited backup sound system. With no time to spare Redymix DMT captivated the audience with his unique blend of known hits, mixed perfectly to force the most boring bumce to gyration. At 5pm, with the party in full swing, patrons who drained their coolers re stocked their Red Bull, Smirnoff, Nuvo and Johnnie Walker at the bar on the sand. 

JB Photography gets into position

The photographers Josh Brizan, Charles Pei C K and Mr. Photogeo Capture stole moments from the sand and immortalized them in photos we can never forget. Stryker Regal, reminded all that this was Mas on the Beach and wooed the crowd into a dramatic frenzy. The beach lit by tiki lamps and moon light alone provided the perfect ambience for a incident free 3 hour after sunset jam session. Stopping just in time to remind everyone for the full dose of euphoria, they would need a ticket to [G3]. 

The Easter Spectrum

Putting everything in perspective for us partygoers with Carnival Tabanka, The EEEmpire has announced their next big thing. Yet another  beach lime! The Empire. Entertainment. Everything. just created an event.

Details are still sketchy, but what we are sure of is that plans are already underway for infrastructure to be added to the Tyrico Landscape. Noteworthy is that the founders of this never ending series have vowed to keep this event FREE of charge to those specially invited. "All our loyal party patrons and Jamborii Masqueraders will be specially invited." explained a founding member. Easter Monday promises to be a pleasant end to the conservative Lenten season. according to, Triple E. "During LENT we fast from LOSERS and never stop the party! - BEACH April 25th!"

Not Another Beach Lime, earlier this year  - 9.1.11

Clearly in a class of its own Not Another Beach Lime will revolutionize the definition of beach lime, only time will tell exactly what the colors of the spectrum look like.

Kess The Illusionist wows the crowd at NAEBL

October 31st - Magic on Tyrico
Not Another EEEmpire Beach Lime

Kess the Illusionist calls all to attention

Kristal Alexander explained: "He scares me, I think his tricks are quite intriguing and phenomenal." For Kristal, many illusionists and magicians may be a hard sell, especially local professed magicians. Strangely though, this Kess the Illusionist seems like the real deal to her.
Here is a Video of Kess's performance on Tyrico for the October 2010 Not Another EEEmpire Beach Lime:

What happened on 9.1.11?

The last hurrah before the reopening of university for many, an after Tribe Ice party for others, whatever it was, this installment of Not Another EEEmpire Beach Lime (NAEBL) was enough to get people out of their seats. A simple formula this time, all inclusive bands for those interested, all encouraged to bring coolers with the promise of music and vibes upon arrival.

LEFT &RIGHT: Two cross sections of the crowd at NAEBL 9.1.11

This lime was held in honor of two foreign based Triple E Family members Jonathan Morgan and Deon Joseph, who returned to Trinidad from their studies of Law and Medicine respectively to join the excitement. The organizer of the Port of Spain shuttle, Afiya Hopson explained, "it seemed hard [getting people] until the night before because Trinidadians are too last minute." She explained gauging who was confirmed to come out was the most difficult task. She said "People told me they were coming from long before, but when I tried to confirm they said maybe and I can't handle that"

Stefan and Niesha brave the storm

However it swung, people ended up on the beach, someway, somehow. The day was not without problems, when the first maxi loads of people arrived on Tyrico Bay, it was in the midst of what seemed like torrential rain-showers. Tamika Johnson explained she and her friends thought they wasted their money to come to the beach, she said "I thought the rain was going to spoil the day". Even after the sun cleared up she felt bored on the beach for some time. This was short lived however as the arrival of the Red Bull Pinzi (music vehicle) and more people converted the otherwise regular Tyrico bay into a beach cooler festival of sound and "loose waist".
The day after, Afiya Hopson was happy to deliver the messages sent by attendees, most who agreed that in paying for their transport to the beach lime they spent the best $60.00 of their lives. Just ask Chelsea Sue who captioned her photo album something along those lines...

The day featured a drinking contest, with drunken master Akeel Bernard challenging one and all to drink a beer or smirnoff faster than him. Between this, Nintendo Wii games, twister and the unrestricted wide open beach patrons found their own spot of relaxation and their own places to palance. From 5.30pm, Dragon Sounds stole the show and sent the crowd into a frenzy. Crews like Chemistry Crew and Mud Inc pioneered the wine-ing session. Nothing substandard as the Tyrico ambience and the dimming light only served to accentuate the blissful experience. By now all other activities were packed up, leaving the entire beach front a place of bare jubilation and ultimate freedom. The event remained in full swing until 7pm when patrons were reminded for the full nine yards and the party experience all night long, they need to purchase a ticket to one of the EEEmpire's parties.

The next NAEBL will  be held on Tyrico Bay, on Easter Monday 2011 (April 25th). This time it will be done to kick off the auspicious White Jersey Season. Mark your calendars.

BODOW! Not Another EEEmpire Beach Lime takes it up a notch

And the never ending series continues.

Na, not ANOTHER EEEmpire Beach Lime! When will these people stop?
Honestly I ask myself that everyday. Beyond the question is the symbolism of this five word phrase. "NAEBL" These Beach limes allow for the fermantation of our insatiable Trini desire to lime. These beach limes also serve as catalysts providing the best environment for bringing fun loving party people together. Always done in a secure environment. Over the months, several changes have been made to the traditional beach lime effectively creating the NAEBL brand.

1. Music is a Must.
From now on, starting at our October beach lime we provide amplified sound on the beach. This is seen as essential to initiate and sustain the wanton gyration of hips and accentuate the general interaction of patrons.

2. Drinks are a Must.
Usually we will ask, maybe beg people to walk with you coolers and so on. Reality has decreed that we provide the option for individuals to buy their own drinks. No one wants to walk way over to SAMS on their slippery floors just for a cold stag, when you can have one served to you by our resident bartenders.

3. Games are a Must.

"Skin she out!" No, this is not buhwhayuhmoder talking here, but the remarks before a game of "slippery beach twister". This consists of a twister mat made slippery with some good ole squeezy(soap) and water. The spinner of the game is encouraged to derive the most difficult colour-limb combinations to effectively 'skin out' the other participants. 

Beach Football is another constant. We can't go to the beach without a lil sweat. Not to be confused with Triple E Games, we keep the activities fun and they all allow for individual participation.

4. Food is a Must.

Richards Bake and Shark. (What other explanation did you expect?)

Keeping these four things in mind, Not Another EEEmpire Beach Lime has graduated from the traditional Maracas to create their own vibe, and atmosphere on the slower paced Tyrico Bay, 2 minutes away from Maracas Bay. Tyrico, otherwise known as "Indian Bay" is equipped with Lifeguards on duty but is away from the hustle and bustle as cars have to drive into the shore to reach the beach. According to Trinidaddreamscape.net, "This beach has a more secluded feel than Maracas as it is tightly enclosed by verdant hills." .The Red Bull Pinzi a permanent fixture on the shore, NAEBL is now a Networking Party. An opportunity for friends and business associates to forget the rigors and rules of business and just relax, have some drinks and enjoy the evening.

For more pictures of Tyrico, the official NAEBL Shorline see: http://www.trinidaddreamscape.net/tyrico.shtml   or click on the picture above.

The next installment will held on January 9th 2011. For this patrons are asked to purchase bands for $130.00 and receive complementary premium drinks and FREE Bake and Shark. If you are a drinker be sure to bring your cooler and get high off your own supply. All proceeds will be donated to the Sacred Heart Childrens Home.  RSVP Below:

Not Another EEEmpire Beach Lime™ - For Charity [Semi Inclusive] - Jan 9th

Triple E Birthday Club!

Each member of 3E has one thing in common, a birthday. August into September happens to be rich with limes, parties all held in commemoration of the birthday of some member. Over the past few months celebrations have been much more a joint activity than just blowing out some candles.

Since 2009, Jasanya Jones pioneered this Birthday tradition with her birthday beach lime on Sun June 16th of that year. On facebook, the albums "My Birthday Beach Lime...I love my friends"  and "Skittles B'day with her 3E Family [Beach]" showcase the joy of simply enjoying an evening of relaxation as a "family". It is interesting to note that after this Jasanya suggested we have more beach limes similar to her birthday beach lime and this eventually evolved into our popular "Not another EEEmpire® Beach Lime" series of beach limes.

Here is an eight minute clip of the random action at Jasanya's Beach lime:

Jonathan Morgan spent his first week of summer vacation in Trinidad,working arduously to ensure the perfect college Graffiti Glow experience for all. Right after this, he celebrated his birthday in collaboration with the Triple E Fam, hosting a retreat and meeting for committee members only and then a lime after for family and friends. 

This great event was encouraged by a very small 'Birthday Club' lime at Jonathan's St Joseph home the week before; on the day of his Birthday. 

This pre lime is best explained by this video:

"What in my opinion opened the Birthday Club was the cake and lime at Jonathan's house for his Birthday, it was a close knit, quiet lime. Sometimes we should appreciate the finer things in life, aside from all the hustle and bustle and 3E Birthday club ensures that we have events which allow for this." said Ken Sambury, organizer of both the smaller house lime and the larger retreat and birthday celebration.

To date the Birthday Club has been instrumental in making the members of the Triple E Family feel appreciated not just for their business expertise or marketing savvy, but for their own individual personality blend which makes 3E a business, a committee, a conglomerate but still a family.

This club has brought Stefan Guevera to tears, made Ken Sambury smile for pictures (which he never does), and allow Jonathan Morgan to say that he is proud, not just that our profits are more than our expenditure but proud of the unity derived from our Family activities. Remarkable occasions to say the least! All those readers who may be peeved that they can't 'join' this Birthday Club are admonished not to worry, these Birthday Club activities are never exclusive to 3E members. Friends and family are usually invited and if its Ken, he may just have a Party in the PARK for the entire neighborhood. 

Here is a picture and a video we find most interesting, check them all out in the album: Triple E Family Life. ® and at eeempire on youtube etc

Easter Monday = Beach

It was amazing to see that it did not matter how proficient one was in maths, everyone understood that equation this Easter Monday. The entire Triple E Crew in collaboration with some COSTAATT Students pooled their resources and put together a fun lime on Maracas Beach.

The purpose was to strengthen bonds formed the week before at the BFF sports within the crew and foster an environment devoid of noise, loud music and random gyration and full of fun activities and a general slow paced relaxing day.

According to Ken Sambury, the idea was orginally Kevon Adams, to have a beach lime some time involving COSTAATT Students.

"Kevon wanted to have a beach lime, so I teamed up with him and we helped each other out. I made a facebook event, printed tickets and organised maxis as we normally would and Kevon and his friends used the resources we provided. It turned out nicely, incident free" Ken said.

This beach lime consisted of several large 24 seater Red Band Maxi taxis full of talkative, fun loving young adults. It included games such as twister and pictionary to ad that special 'lime' aspect to the day. Twister was especially a hit as people intertwined among one another twisting and bending their bodies all in an attempt to stay in the game. iPALANCE.com caputured some classic pictures of the twister twists and falls.

The lime also boasted a well stocked beach cooler bar consisting of several coolers ram crammed with beers, bottles and red bull. Patrons like Orlando Greenage also tasted some of "grannies hand" eating out of the big pot of pealau.

The EEEmpire has hosted a string of "Not another Beach Limes" throughout 2009 usually well attended involving a bit of the beach fun and a night time party. This time the emphasis was on relaxation. Commenting on this Sadeisha Chunksy Folkes said the lime was very fun for her but she likes to hear her loud music when liming. "The lime was fun actually, but next time play the music"

In response to this, Stefan Guevara said the next similar event is a road trip alongside Eddie Entertainment in two 52 seater buses, all fully equipped with their own 'hard pong' speaker set up. Stefan explained; "Right now we are trying to fit some turn tables in the big bus. We would see how that works out"

 Quacey Titus shares a thought in the Maxi. (this was before the maxi stopped for about 30 more people in San Juan)
