Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone! I don't know if there will be kids anywhere trick or treating, but if they are I imagine they'll be somewhere around MQ or The Wave.

If you fancy a bit of mid-week partying, Zouk are throwing a Halloween party tonight. If you go dressed up in costume, there is no entry charge (just pay for food and drinks as you want them at the bar) and there will be prizes for the best-dressed Halloween costumes. I'm told that there will be special cocktails and shots just for tonight, and that the bar has been decorated to suit the occasion. I wonder how many ghost's in white sheets will attend?!

Halloween Party!

For anyone interested, there will be a pick-up game of touch rugby held on Shatti beach this Thursday at 4pm. Then at 8pm, the doors will open for the halloween party at the club. The drinks are cheaper here than any of the hotel bars in town, and there is a fantastic outdoor area with overhead fans to keep you cool. At RO 4 for non-members, and food and drink specials available, it should be a fun evening! You can buy tickets on the door.

WTF is going on with traffic in Gala?

Just a quick one today.

I just sat in traffic for ages in Gala - it took me 75 minutes to travel a distance that normally takes 15 minutes during the day. Why? The Sultan Qaboos Mosque round about (not the highway exit one, but the next one in from there) was completely snarled by idiot drivers that don't understand the concept of not going into a junction (in this case a round about) until it is clear to exit it. Total grid lock. When are they going to put lights in there?!


In other news, lots of Halloween parties went on over the weekend. The wife and I went in disguise (a vampire and a witch!) to the VICE house music event (hosted by BMB Events) that the Dragon featured on his blog recently. The music was good, really good (that is, if you like that sort of thing), but attendance was a little low. It wasn't helped by the fact that there were no signs at all outside Rock Bottoms pointing to the event being held upstairs, we very nearly just gave in and went to the Halloween party at Rock Bottoms, even though I don't like that club, because we were in costume and happened to be right there. I'm sure that some people did end up going to Rocks purely because there was absolutely no indication at all that there was a party being held upstairs. Things to remember for next time I guess. Thanks for the tickets Dragon, and BMB Events!
