"It Just FEELS Different!" -New Direction, New Movement, New Year''s Eve!

 Well, well, well. As they say "What good is the race if you don't cross the finish line" right? We've been "running" the Summer all this year with our line up of spectacular rooftop Sunday brunch parties! Did we not? And we had you "running" all over town introducing you to all new, never been exploited, venues around the city. Correct? We've done the Target 1st Saturday's at the Brooklyn Museum, b'day parties in a high end men's store on Madison Ave. & hotel suites. A fantastic looking monthly dinner party series (Prim & Proper). Co-hosted a Bed-Stuy block party/concert (Spread Love Fest)...I could go on and on, but point is WE'VE DONE ALOT! A we appreciate and THANK YOU for rocking with us every venture we do. But please believe folks, we've far from done yet! This New Year's Eve "OCEAN'S 13" will be our FINEST moment. A real "game changer" on how folks bring in the New Year. Ok, so here's the details so far. This year we will be moving our highly anticipated year end celebration over the bridge to TriBeca, but not just at ANY venue (location to be announced soon). This year will be more intimate and exclusive (half the crowd of last year's 700+ ppl). Not here's the REAL twist, the "OMG moment" you might say. Ok so after the bar has been closed, last call has been yelled out, the final toast has been toasted, ANOTHER party will start from 4am-7am! YEP a breakfast party! So all that looking for a diner to soak up all that liquor...DONE! All that scrambling to get a last minute number...DONE! All that trying to catch a cab, then a 30 min wait to be served...DONE! Even folks that didn't bring in the New Year's in with us (at other parties around town) are invited to come eat and break (corn) bread.  Exciting huh?! Soulful music, TOP CHEF prepared breakfast, new faces...sounds pretty HISTORIC if you ask me. Well that's it for now, please bear with us I'll have more details (I.E. pricing of NYE tix, RSVP link for after hours breakfast party, DJ's playing, etc) as the date gets closer. Until then PLEASE attend our FINAL "the Country Club" brunch party at BRAVO's Top Chef studio Sunday Dec. 2  2pm-8pm hosted by Gary Grant, Calcie Cooper (the Social Broker), and the Block Association collectively.

"Flashing Lights" -Paprazzi Pics (Pt. 298)

Man it seems like forever since I last posted pics from the latest adventures the Block Boys get into. So this post I'll be playing catch up with you to bring you up to speed on what's been going down. Okay what we have below are picture from a couple of events that's transpired over the last few days ago. I even post pics from another site (a former NO NO for me) only to give you the full story. Now so people are blessed to get a few friend together for a birthday celebration. But THESE lucky (Block Association Virgo) bastards have a few! Posted below are a few flicks from our road trip out to Philly for the "M.A.D.E. In America" day party w/ Philadelphia Status Brand. I stayed out there so I had to "borrow" pics (from 7 Days 7 Nights) to show you the team's cameo appearance at "Mean Shoe Game" that happened at Pranna. Labor day Monday the Collective & the Block continued the festivities with a impromptu BBQ over DJ Trauma's crib w/guest appearances by (former America's Next Top Model's) Camille McDonald & Brand Nubian Sadat X (who blessed the mic)! The following Saturday was ANOTHER stoop party BBQ we hosted during the "Spread Love Fest" block party/concert Vodou Bar had. Then after ONE MORE BBQ on Sunday (hey we had food left over from Saturday...don't judge) we gathered the crew to celebrate the birthdays both Frei Speech & Keith MAJOR at the same damn time! THANKS goes out to MADE drinks for the "liquid" support and to Vodou Bar for involving the Block in their movement. And a S/O Happy B'day to Mark Esquire a fly fellow Virgo. If you missed ANY of those events I just mentioned then by all means join us for our HUGE 3rd annual Virgo toast to life..."VIRGO'S NIGHT OUT" this Friday @J'Adore ("New Jack City" -37 W.17th St near 6th Ave.).
