Throughout each year, the reviewers at the Juice Box use the “Water Bottle” rating system, with a 5 bottle rating being the best in class, and a noteworthy event. Parties that get a 5 bottle rating go into the 5 Bottle Hall of Fame. 2011 is about to be closed up for the record books and there were a significant number of new additions to the Hall of Fame and a few new events as well.
You may ask how the “Water Bottle” rating system works, so here is how it is applied:
The Space
This is the box the event is built in and it is often all about location, location, location.
The Decor and Ambiance
This is what makes an event special, including lighting, decorations, and the landscaper the promoters creates – this is the magic of the event.
The Music
An obvious key to any good event, including any entertainment, acts or headliners, this is a key ingredient to success.
The Beauty and Community Factor
This factor is a bit more esoteric and relates to things that add pop to an event, a special value, something unique. Most of all this is the crowd or community attending the event.
The Overall Experience
This is the catch all for the rating system, including everything from how long does it take to get a drink at the bar, how clean and orderly the restrooms were, security process, coat check friendliness, and the overall presentation from entry to exit of an event.
Five elements – five bottles of water – one rating system that works for all parties!
