"Flashing Lights" -Paparazzi Pics (Pt.105)

Boo yourself if you didn't make it out last Sun. to Tamboril for missing Alexandra Cespedes art show, "Matters of the Heart", sponsored by Coup D'etat BK, showcasing some of her numerous paintings and a small glimpse of her photography. I was shocked by how talented she was at such a young age. AND multi-talented too! She so quite you'd never know that she had it in her. LOL. It got real crowd, real quick with all her well wishers coming out to show love and support. Me, I was just there for the early bird drink special and the fish dish...Just jokes folks!
Peep the pics to see who you missed.

Read what folks have said so far;

Nica said...I'm down, especially since I'm less likely to go out in the evenings when it starts getting dark and cold. Kid-friendly and conscious crowd is a draw for us mamas. A little more detail on cost, time, location would be helpful...

Miss Noni Shanay said...Of course I'd go, love that sort of thing, I'd rather do that then a nightclub. No offense to the parents but I wouldn't go to one that had kids at it...crying babies, screaming/running around kids, good music, drinks & food aren't a great mix in nightlife.

Julie said...This sounds like a fun idea! I love brunch-time! Perfect excuse to drink during daylight!

Lichiban said...Ahhh, loving the idea! Al, you always bring together the hottest crowd in Brooklyn. Hail to the Renaissance, BK! I'm down.

Oto said...some public cocooning..i can do that too!

Kat said...I'm SO up for this. Something nice and lazy that could segway into early evening...with a fireplace? Or is that too dangerous?

J Brook said...You know U have my support! Music & food, I'm there LOL!

LaMazing said...I have short New York attention span.... where are we going? brunch? music? drinks? hell ya.... BK? I live in city so gimme time. I'm down. lol ;)

Ekayani said...I am a vegetarian! Wish there were more healthy choices. it's always fried this and fried that. Our people suffer from diabetes and a whole host of ailments brought on by poor eating habits: hypertension, heart attacks, obesity. Come on let's get with it. There are some great places opening up in the hood.

★T3CHI3 SUPA™★ said...Definitely a great idea. I'm in there!

E'Jae said...I would love this! Let me know when more details comes in.

Clarissa said...count me in on this.

Anonymous said...I LOVE this idea! As I am a Brunch- aholic, I go to the Den at least once or twice a month. Even better if there is all you can drink mimosas. And even better if it is in Harlem!I can't say I would travel to BK on a Sunday morning or afternoon...

Amenan said...PLEASE make this happen! I would absolutely LOVE it.

Martha Banks said...I would pay up to $25 if it's all you can drink and the food size - plated entree and / or brunch are healthy portions. Actually tack on tax and tip that could be a bit much but I would say tax and tip included up to $28 but would prefer $26. LOL!

"Get Into the Party Life!" -Er'body In the Club Get Tipsy!

"Flashing Lights" -Paparazzi Pics (Pt. 92)

Okay, I gotta say this, Pt.2 of "Celebrate the Virgo" week was BAN-ANA-S! All THREE floors of Libations was rocking and filled to the brim with Virgo's looking to have a GREAT time. Picture Amanda Diva on one floor, live painting, Uncle Ralph on another controlling the dance floor (AND video screen). Pesu down below, doing his mastery art work as well, and a building full of folks coming to wish us Virgos (Kwesi, Pam "SoHo", Zebi, Daoud, Frei, Shimy, myself & others) well and Happy Born day. We Love Ya Like Cooked Food supplied the Hennessy filled cupcakes that were DE-LISH! It was official my B'day starting at 12am last night, but later on today at Tamboril, we'll be hosting the Finale -"Virgo Tendencies!" With even MORE Virgos present. Remember it starts at 10pm and the kitchen closes at 1am, so come to party w/ an appetite. LOL. Drinks on you.
