2008: TRYST NIGHTCLUB OPENING PARTY
Over 1,000 VIPS guests and hip nightclub scenesters gathered at Tryst
Nightclub for the Opening Party. Hanging out in the numerous comfortable VIP Booths
scattered throughout the club, guests sipped on champagne and preminum cocktails and
munched on mini appetizers such as Louisiana Crab Cakes, Beef Tenderloin Threads and
Crispy Ginger Shrimp Skewers. The theme of the evening - Fantasy Masquerade - was brought
to life by models dressed as fairies and body painted wood nymphs. Given Tryst's
multi-room layout, guests had choice of dancing to DJ Joe Marella spinning classics
and new hits in the upstairs lounge or enjoy the sounds of DJ Dennis R on the main dance
floor. (View Photos)
