    Thanks Mate for the info.
    Not sure of your source but it makes sense.
    I have been wondering about him.
    He has been AWOL to any communications over the last 6 weeks. Not like hin to go silent.
    He went to Paris for the marathon and was amazing, and then disappeared.
    The last I heard, is a new person from the DR has beeen hired as Vibe Dire tor for TTR and they want no connections to the past.
    Surely starting to look like the "Old" power/administration structure has been decimated/altered. Questionable shit happening behind the scenes.
    But I am sure Chinos has better info into what is happening.

    Source was Whooligans :) who are looking to set up a deal with the new TTR. Chatted to Ren last night, Rafa was too drunk. :)

    Last I saw of Victor he was posting on Facebook selling some kind of one wheel segway kind of thing.

    Names I'm hearing are Sergio and Javier being involved with Ents. I don't know either of them.

    Going to a party tomorrow where some others in the know will be there. Might know more then.

    Same here. We got back from Desire Pearl last Saturday and there were a few people working there that were from Temptation that said they are going back for some training soon. It will bee great to see some familiar faces when we go back.

    Thought Rafa was on the wagon, last I knew, but that was when he still had his radio show and cognizent of his voice.
    So I guess he fell off.
    Or was it a special celebration/Party night at Black Pub?

    Interesting about Victor and the Segway thing.

    Very intersted to learn of what you may hear at the party.
    Sounds like a fun (Insiders') party!

    My post-reno room rate was $192 (with membership) for whatever they are calling the old Jacuzzi Room now. Something like "Lush Jacuzzi," or something.

    And guess what. I'm fine with getting that room, saving nearly 2 Benjamins a night. I am just hoping that they don't make my wife's purchases of her very exposing, so-called bikini bottoms moot because we're always going to DRM or Pear instead of the "new" Temptation due to the changes.

    Went to the party today. It was hosted by Aisha and Luis, two of the bigwigs from Premier. They opened up their very nice house for Chinos's charity kids, their parents and supporters with pool, shows, food etc. Very kind of them.

    There were a lot of people there and since they were hosting, and we were only there a couple of hours I didn't get a great deal of time to chat about Temptation. They are not really involved with the construction / concept side of things so didnt explore that at all.

    A few things we did chat about:
    • The Premier FB group was closed down, Aisha also closed her personal FB due to some personal issues not connected with the hotel.
    • I read rumours that Aisha was no longer involved with Premier. She very much is, and will be involved with recruiting a new sales team in the near future.
    • Staff are returning to the hotel on June 5th for training and familiarisation with the new place.
    • The new Premier package that they will offer guests upon reopening is still 'under construction'.
    • Aisha and Luis have asked to come on the Boobs Cruise on the 30th June, they want to go before the hotel reopens when it might be awkward. Of course, I am happy to oblige :)
    Didnt get much chance to chat to Chinos either, he was busy too. But going out with him for beers in the next week or so.

    Rafa was doing shots between songs, but yeah it could have been a special celebration. They had a couple of guest musicians take over, Davie who used to be with them at Dady Rock did some vocals and Rafa took to the drums for a while. Someone else took over bass. We left before the end of the second set (it was already 3am) but Ren sent me a nice text saying sorry he didn't get chance to say bye.

    Great guys! I hope Temptation can find a place for them upon reopening.

    Ren is one of the nicest guys.
    The new personnel in the band have really lit a spark and they are sounding good again.
    And song selction has been changed and sounds re-freshed.
    It will be interesting to see what band gets the 'new' TTR gig.
    It better be either Rafa and the boys or the Delay band.

    Thanks for all the succinct and concise info.
    We too, had heard Aisha was out, when TTR re-opens, but that was conflicting info, in light of her present day duties at the the temperary offices, in my mind.

    Glad to hear she will still be in charge.
    We like her alot.
    Hope she brings Damian back as Head Butler and Norma returns as the magic maker.
    Those 2 are Golden!

    Glad to also read that the new Premeir plan is still under construction.
    The 'so called' new plan being flogged to us at DRM in late February was silly.
    We zeriuosly considered switching our contract to DRM at that time, but hedged a hunch that the plan will be more sensible, when TTR re-opens.
    So your info sounds like we elected for the better choice.

    Aisha on the Boobs Cruise sounds very interesting!
