Despite the muddy underfoot in the food court, pitched on the college football field, patrons used matting placed to wend their way to the numerous food stations that dotted the ground. As usual a big favourite was the Chinese cuisine done by Dune Ali and Rib House, and a spicy fish broth which served as a sobering elixir. For girl watchers Outta de Blue XII was a night of nirvana as women came out in their resplendent best. Overall, this was one of the better editions of Outta de Blue and the Foundation can justifiably take a bow. (PRB)
