Armani & Ken |
As we all know, the months September and October boast the most amount of birthdays in Trinidad and Tobago. The unspoken theory is that all Trinidadians are consciously or unconsciously more promiscuous and more fertile around the January-February Carnival Season. As our good friend Nesta Boxill says: "And nine months later baby sure born". Whether or not this theory is true, within our Triple E Fam their are several birthdays in and around this time frame.
Most notably during September 2010 were the birthdays and respective birthday celebrations of Ken and Armani. Relatives by choice, it may be too corny to call these two brothers from another mother as both Ken and Armani are as different as they are similar. Those interested in the life story of these kids, or just a little to idle for comfort can check out more on these two sidekicks on their official fan page:

Party in the Park - September 12th

The first leg of our Triple E Fam, special presentation was Ken's Party in the Park. This event was squarely based on the concept that people in general will party anywhere once given a chance. Also the motivation behind it, according to Ken was because he 'just wanted to sit and talk, picnic style with his friends'. The idea was that the freedom of the event would allow all interested to come share a drink and have a lime on a Sunday evening, no strings attached. Turn out was scattered in the first few hours due to rain for four hours before the event. The few who did make it on time did picnic in the park as planned however and the vibes never stopped it nightfall. By 7pm the Party moved to the road, when the influx of friends and supporters turned up. Apparently four hours of sunny skies after the rain was enough to convince most. Whatever it was, Total Control spun the event out of control as Britney, Daniella, Kristal and Akeem arrived with the food.

The free flow of Gerra, Pelau, Red Bull and the cases of Guinness the YBC boys contributed was enough to turn the Park vibes into Pure Vibes in the road. Macoya Gardens residents and the police officers did not complain and the event closed off at 9.30. Stragglers made their way to Ken's home nearby and unceremoniously dealt with his birthday cake. Although the concept of "Partying in the Park" is still yet to be executed the idea of jumping up and down rave style in the middle of a random park is still on the agenda for the EEEmpire. Maybe Ken will have a part 2, without the complications of it being his birthday and torrential rainfall for the entire day. Maybe...
Party in the Pool - September 26th

Armani Fernandes helps Kayla Martin out the pool |
The second leg of this Virgo extravaganza took place in the southern neighborhood Gulf View at the home of Armani Fernandes. At his home the palancemaster came alive! True to tradition he extended himself selflessly to provide a shuttle service from the east to safely transport his friends willing to come support his pool lime. Selector Red, the hidden female Dj of Redymix DMT kept the tunes in running smoothly and controlled the special requests for random music from semi drunk attendees.
The set up was perfect as Armani's open bar and his floating mini bar kept his friends happier than usual. The highlight of the evening was the valiant attempts by several girls to avoid the pool at all costs. Unfortunately for them, each person was thrown into the pool sooner, later or repeatedly!

Kayla Martin was a classic example of this, being one of the first girls to be thrown into the pool. Up to publishing time, she could not be reached for questioning. This event progressed smoothly from the day into the night with Jasanya Jones and the Regal Elite sisters instrumental in keeping everyone's spirits up with wanton abandonment and indiscriminate interaction with invited guests. Turn out was great although almost everyone came at different times but Aidan represented for his Blaquee Pheonix, Seon Guitain was there since Omari Luke was too far to come even if he wanted too, even the newest members of Triple E like Shady were most present to support the Palancemaster.
