The Editor speaks: So KAABOO goes down the LOO!

A 'loo” in the UK is another name for
a toilet..

I have to admit I am not surprised
KAABOO 2020 is not going to happen.

We will also not know the TRUE reason
or reasons why.

Does the word “corruption” spring
into your mind?

Of course not.

The 019 festival held in February was
“a roaring success”. It also produced “fantastic results”.

“The success of KAABOO Cayman in 2019
as a multi-day, premium music, art and comedy festival has
established Cayman’s ability to deliver large-scale events at
international standards.”

The press release we received from
Jason Felts, KAABOO marketing officer, said the reason not to bring
it back to Grand Cayman “was neither logistics or profitability”.

So the evemt last February was
profitable, there was no problems with the logistsics and it was such
a trememnous success there was immediately available blind-sale
passes and corporate sponsorsips.

DART was “proud to have been part of
KAABOO Cayman 2019, an event which showcased the Cayman Islands to
the world and a venue on Seven Mile Beach that provided both visitors
and residents with an unforgettable festival experience.”

WOW!

So everybody connected with it,
including another partner, Richard Branson who continually raved
about it, thought it was almost “heavenly”, apart from the angels
singing and playing harps.

Wait.

Didn't I see and hear someone playing a
harp there?

However, the reason we are led to
believe for no 2020 KABOO Cayman is the gobble-de-gook one.

“After careful deliberation, the
partners behind KAABOO Cayman regret to announce that the event will
not be returning to the Cayman Islands in 2020, as originally
planned.”

And...

KAABOO will be returning its focus to
its current and future planned US-based events, including the
upcoming KAABOO Del Mar event in San Diego which is celebrating its
5th anniversary this coming September.

And..

“ It was merely a business decision
made by the partners.”

That's as clear as the real reason why
our premier allowed CITN/Cayman27 to go dark.

Both have gone down the LOO. Do I hear a "BOO"?
