Hybrid welcomes 'Itsy Bitsy' summer

Curtis Campbell, Gleaner Writer

A group of young corporate event coordinators who call themselves the Hybrid Entertainment has partnered with SKYY Vodka to host the second leg of Hybrid. The party was first kept in April and, according to Hybrid Entertainment, this staging is designed to be the official unveiling of the summer season.

Damion Gayle of Hybrid Entertainment outlined the party's theme and justified its meaning. "The theme for this staging is 'Itsy Bitsy, Less is More', and it came about because of the fact that it is summertime and we want the ladies to come out looking pool sexy. So catering to the ladies is our intention, plus it is the beginning of the summer and we want to make it special," Gayle said.

Gayle also gave a synopsis of the concept behind Hybrid Entertainment. This, he says, is one collaborative effort between successful promoters.

"Hybrid is basically a team of 'super-promoters', so to speak. We have all had successful events in the past, hence we have pooled our networks together to make one super party and we already hosted one successful staging on April 28, 2012," Gayle said.

That first was hosted at Kirkland Heights and because of the huge turnout then and expectations that the audience will strengthen, the Hybrid team decided to use a new venue, the Vineyard at 18 Dulwich Drive. "We wanted somewhere central where patrons would have no trouble finding. We anticipate a bigger crowd, hence, the venue change was inevitable," Gayle said.

Hybrid Entertainment has set its sights on the female patrons and have decided to admit ladies free before 6 p.m. After that they will be charged $500. Males pay $800.

"Hybrid is all about the experience, and we always try to give patrons something that is not cliché. We'll be having SKYY Vodka shots every hour and the pool is open to patrons. In fact, we encourage patrons to actually use the pool, as most times you go to a pool party and people are just standing around," Gayle said.

The musical juggling will be provided by DJ Naz, DJ Zagga, DJ Menace, DJ Flabba Dabba and a special guest DJ. The Vineyard has a designated parking area and security will be provided by the police and specially hired security enforcement.

According to Gayle, patrons should turn out because the deals are easy on the pocket. "People should turn out at Hybrid because this is a party that is recession friendly. The last Hybrid was a hit, so we've step it up a notch with this one," he concluded.

The Hybrid Entertainment group has also created a Facebook page which is being used as a medium to interact with its prospective patrons. Currently on the page are pictures of six beautiful ladies competing to win the title of 'HYBRID's MOST ITSY BITSY VIXEN'.
