ADVERTORIAL
9th to 18th October 2015 #NCW2015
of fun for just 400 Kshs with participating brands, and Imagine a Nairobi
Night Out with No House music…stay
tuned.
-The Wrap Party will be at Tribe.
Westlands has somewhat taken
over the hotel scene, but remember
that many of us had some awesome
times when Tribe was our only hot
spot. I’m taking the fire back there
and I can’t wait to put something fun
together with their new GM.
How do people get involved with
NCW?
Mainly on social media - the AQUEOUS Facebook page. From there
you’ll be directed to the website
where we’ll take your details so as
to contact you on whatsapp/ sms.
We’re bringing NCW 2015 to your
handheld device. It’ll be a ‘flash this
image and get 400 Kshs cocktails
and NCW updates’ type arrangement.
In the outlets you’ll see some pretty
distinctive cocktail menus that will
prompt you to order.
Tell us a bit about Cruz Vodka at
NCW.
Cruz is a great fit as the vodka of
NCW. It’s a slick sexy bottle that
looks great on back bars, makes a decent cocktail and is very well priced.
I think a number of outlets that don’t
already use it will be pleasantly
surprised by it. It will do very well
this year.
NCW sounds very chic, with Cruz
Vodka cocktails and all that..
Remember one of the first figures
in our generation to make drinking
cocktails cool was James Bond – the
man’s man. He is testament to the
fact that guys can drink cocktails out
of Martini glasses, wear tuxedos to
parties, kick the bad guy’s ass and
get the girl without breaking a sweat.
I hope Nairobi guys will be getting
involved with Cocktail Week as well
and hey, if you can’t handle holding
a Martini glass in public, ask for the
same ingredients on the rocks in a
whisky glass. It’ll save your manhood- dilute the drink a little, but
your manhood will be intact.
What else is important for everyone
to know?
Two things:
Creative Collaboration is the key to
success. All of us need for Nairobi
events to work, for the city to be a
great destination with interesting
things going on. These things are
made attractive by the small efforts
that everyone puts in. This ‘we’re
not getting involved unless we own
the whole thing’ or ‘fair effort, but
we can do our own one better two
months later’ is counter productive.
The city’s blossoming identity ends
up shuffling sideways instead of
moving forward, and no progress is
made. If everyone gets stuck in with
just a touch of their best, just like the
waiter at Panafric, we’ll all succeed in
making Nairobi the place to be and
events like this globally recognized.
More people come, more cabs will
be used, more high end liquor will be
drunk, mama mboga down the road
gets to feed more people, the mixology industry booms and you, you my
friend sell more Cruz Vodka.
Take a cab during Nairobi Cocktail
Week. Don’t be that guy!
