wolverine · Dec 13, 1999, 12:01 AM

CaRaMBa · Dec 13, 1999, 08:13 PM

Nix, I heard that there's a P2,000 fee, for the open bar. Is this true?

oscarwarez · Dec 15, 1999, 03:50 PM

caramba: from what i've heard P500 daw for smb open bar...dunno but ur right nix could be our answer ;D

***nix*** · Dec 15, 1999, 07:08 PM

I have a table reserved for ten people at 500 pesos per head. I know that this goes with food and refreshments, but I'm not certain if this is the SMB Open bar Caramba is asking about.

CaRaMBa · Dec 16, 1999, 12:58 AM

May SMB open bar? Akala ko sa Fort sila. Anyway, nix, can you ask if there's a fee for the other people who won't use tables? Thanks!

ChiQui · Dec 16, 1999, 02:47 AM

I'm still debating whether this party is worth going to regardless of the big crowds that I'm expecting will also be going. Is it worth it?

CaRaMBa · Dec 16, 1999, 08:50 PM

Well, if you're gonna be with your family and friends, I think it will be worth it naman.

***nix*** · Dec 17, 1999, 01:27 PM

Caramba: I'll ask.

Chiqui: It depends what kind of Millenium Celebration you would like to have -- With family or with a bunch of friends partying in the streets!

24/7 · Dec 18, 1999, 09:30 AM

i'm sorry ... i thought the ayala street party was free ... as in free admission...and there'd be booths where on could buy food and refreshments ... please clarify...thanx

***nix*** · Dec 18, 1999, 10:45 AM

It is free! It's just that there are spots nearest the stage which are reserved for Ayala Employees and some other VIPs, and that costs some money. But the other portions are entirely free.

emilie · Dec 29, 1999, 12:18 AM

In addition to what Nix posted:

Popular bands kick-off the festivities at 6pm. The celebration builds up at 10 pm when homegrown talents gather to perform world-class production numbers from powerful dance numbers to fusion of pop-classical music! Nothing but the best names in Philippine entertainment: from Gary Valenciano to Nolyn Cabahug, Regine Velasquez to Jaya, Side A to Parokya Ni Edgar, Eraserheads to Bolipata Brothers, Philippine Madrigal Singers to APO Hiking Society, Kuh Ledesma to Cecile Licad plus many more!!! Street dancing follows when popular Natural Born Klubbers resident DJ Manolet Dario and International DJ John Robinson go on-board to play the latest in dance music for that all-night-to-morning street party!

24/7 · Dec 29, 1999, 06:46 PM

emilie · Dec 29, 1999, 07:34 PM

The traffic scheme can be found in major newspapers. Makati Avenue portion from Paseo till Greenbelt area will be closed on Dec 31 to Jan 1. Ayala avenue portion from Paseo till around Rustan's I think will also be closed on those days.

I think parking is free in all regular parking areas in Ayala Center.

***nix*** · Dec 30, 1999, 06:42 AM

Traffic Reroutings for Ayala Millennium Celebration

1) From midnight of 25 December 1999 to midnight of 29 December 1999 Both directions of Makati Av between Sto. Tomas and Ayala Av will be closed to traffic for the construction of a stage. The Gabriela Silang parking lot will also be closed and used as a staging area for the construction of the stage.
