It's back! The party of the year and it's free! Hennessy Artistry II

Want to have a great time with your friends with a list of international and local acts thrown in? All that for free??? Wonder no more, Hennessy Artistry is back!!!
This is the 2nd leg of the KL installation, the first was held on 4th June at Phuture @ ZOUK. Details are as below:
Date: 25th July 2009
Time: 9.00 pm onwards
Venue: Bukit Kiara Indoor Arena
Tickets: Register here
Q: Is it a hoax?
A: No it is not.
I was at 2 events last year, the one in Bukit Kiara, with the main artist being one Flo-rida and the subsequent one at Orange, featuring The Day, and I must say it was pretty impressive.
For one, yes, the drinks were indeed free, but free flow? Not really. The drinks were a little slow to reach the guest, taking into account that everyone were just drinking themselves silly! I know for one as I was in charge of my allocated floor section during both the events (I had tickets to them, but since I had already promised my friend that I will help him out with the floors I had to give them away!). You couldnt event take the drinks pass the first line of table in front of the bar! The guests were basicaly grabbing the drinks of the tray!
My solution: To use two trays, one under the glasses, and a 2nd one above them which acts as a roof to shelter the drinks from those very very quick hands! Finally drinks were delivered to the guests further away from the bar. Ok team! Roll on! :)
The acts didnt disappoint, the drinks were good, particularly Miami and Shanghai and the girls, need I say more?
So, register yourself, get your friends to do the same, arrive early (lines started to appear at 7 pm although gates only opened at 9!), let your hair down and have a great time.
A good tip is to get a non-drinking (no orange juice or coke served in the venue!) dedicated driver or pre-book a taxi to take everyone home after the event. The roads around Bkt Kiara is well known for road blocks thus please dont attempt to outwit the police, you shall fail :)
That said, I will not be there this year around, thus some updates in the comment section would be much appreciated!
