#254events-wassup
Sat-22nd march 2014
As an events writer and blogger; what do you do when you
have over three great events on your weekend diary? Well, that is what this
past weekend had in store for me. March so far has been a fabulous month. Probably
the stature of this month’s events prove the rest of the year will be even
better and entertaining-exactly what we love about the #254 and Nairobi a s a
whole.
Starting off at The
Impala; the popular bi-monthly social outdoor and networking event, the 15th Heineken Mingle
brought al the traffic to the Ngong’ Road grounds.
For fashion enthusiasts; here we met colourful urban
Nairobians. Plenty of interactive games, networking and a mature crowd were all
brought together by this event. Truth The Band made the night a cozy one- add
to that al the sorts of instruments and their great voices.
The entertainment lineup that kept the crowd all night up on
their feet included DJS crème; protégé; Nijo; Gichboy; Seanizelll and Mwai;
presided over by hype MC Martin Kariuki.
From mingling and networking to one-mic standup comedy; and comedian
Eric Omondi hosted The Naked Show at
Carnivore Grounds.
This was one-of-a kind show backed by Safaricom, Mo sound
and Standard Group amongst other sponsors. One and half hours of uninterrupted jokes;
he chose to focus on ladies; the clubbing scene and everything trending;
including a look alike Lupita Nyong’o Oscar moment.
Back to Ngong’ Road;
and this year’s popular Kenya Kite Festival went down at Nairobi Polo Club.
And yes, the picnic –themed event was all about kiting competitions and plenty
of drinks and refreshments and great delicacies.

Party was the mother of all. Kenya’s coolest DJ collective fusing
electronic music with authentically African sounds did not disappoint. The third
concert at The Carnivore grounds saw the Urban mixed crowd welcome DJ Cortega
back from West Africa.
Kenya’s Beat Parade; backed by Electrafiques DJS and hosted
by Hot 96 Coco D Rasta literally rocked the event and made it a night to remember.
