"F**k Yo Couch! It's A Celebration B****es!" -Lyshaan "L.A." Hall Keeps It "500"

Do you KNOW this man? YES, some may know him (especially around tax time) as the face of Acacia, one of Brooklyn most successful independently owned tax preparation firms. YES, he is ALSO the financial consultant for Brooklyn's fastest growing event planning company the Block Association. And little may know he's been often been mistaken as either actor Michael Jai White (of Dark Knight/Black Dynamite fame) or that dude on the horse from those Old Spice commercials! For those that DON'T know, pictured above is one Mr. Lyshaan "L.A." / "Pockets" Hall. And why you should get familiar is that he's notorious for having the most extravagant b'day parties EVERY year, and THIS year he's decided to host it at our already huge 2nd Annual Black Fashion Month Gala the "Fashion 500." Why is this important? Duh! He's inviting you to bear witness to greatness! Be dressed camera /internet YouTube ready!

Disclosure: Upon agreeing to attend, Mr. Hall is NOT to be held responsible for any cleaners/shoe shine bills you may incur (from cake cream, Rose' spillage, cigar ashes, MAC make-up, etc.) during this celebration. Loss of memory (or relationship) may occur. Thanx.

"Flashing Lights" -Paparazzi Pics (Pt.242)

What can I say but "WOW!" Last Sunday (Feb. 6th) one of my top fav Block Association (along w/ Detailed Events NYC) events, "My Uber Sunday Superbowl Party (Pt.2)" was where ALL of the cool kids of Brooklyn were hang out at! No lie, it had to been like at least 250+ in the building by half-time! And speaking of half-time, did you get to peep the live performance by the Grand Army Players VS Soundproof Intl.! THAT was history made right there folks. Good thing that was planned too, cause I was hearing that the Black Eye Peas stunk the joint up something awful! This year was WAY bigger then last by far! Cause first off the top all three floors were SOLD OUT table wise. Then on damn near every table was a bottle of either Coconut Ciroc, Rosay, or Grey Goose. So you know once the actual game was over folks were NIIIICE! And the after party kicked off ASAP! Even I (who barely drinks) was doing my best "Charlie Sheen" impression that night...WHITE BOY WASTED! I STILL don't know who won! Any ways here are a few flicks I managed to click before I got loose off that Goose. LOL. Oh yeah, and the video is a clip for half-time rehearsals at UltraViolet too.

"Pigskin & Patron!" - Sunday (Feb. 6th) Gets No Uber Than This! My Uber Super Sunday Returns..,

Okay, let's be honest. the Superbowl has become an unofficial holiday every year in February. Folks tend to think of it as "the New Year's Eve of sports!" And rightfully so, cause even if you're not a fan of any of the teams attending, or even the sport! You are more than likely to gather with a group of friends to watch it along with the rest of the WORLD! I say all this to announce that WE'RE HAVING A HUGE SUPERBOWL PARTY! Last year surprisingly even to us, the Block Association along w/ Detailed Events NYC had over 250+ ppl. attend our very first "My Uber Sunday Superbowl Party!" It's now safe to say it was a HUGE success! But this year we're looking to make this one even not just bigger & better, but BOLDER! Please join us Superbowl Sunday to help make this more "UBER" than the last! It's by far Brooklyn's LARGEST gathering to watch the BIGGEST game...Hands down!

"Flashing Lights" -Paparazzi Pics (Pt.232)

Last week it had to have been a million plus parties going on celebrating the Halloween holiday, but NONE can boast that they had Nicki Minji, Diddy, Janelle Monae, Rick Ross, Jay-Z & Beyonce', T.I., Lil' Wanye, Kanye, & Snoop, all in attendance at the SAME party! NONE! Except the 2nd annual Monsters Ball event that the Brooklyn Circus & the Block Association presented, that has become legendary in just TWO years! No lie folks, by 11:30 Saturday night No.1 Front St. was at capacity which made getting in even tougher for people who didn't believe us when we said "EARLY arrival HIGHLY suggested!" The line spread down the block as if those celebs I named were ACTUALLY there for real! Folks that braved the cold and finally got in, was rewarded to one of THEE hottest parties thrown this year by far! Seriously, it was just that DOPE! The costumes, the energy, the music...man the MUSIC! Goldfinger, Trauma, Jasmine Solano, DJ Pot, and Free like Frei set the bar high LAST year, so this year it was raised even higher. At one point in the party when "Hello, Good morning" came on, the look-a-likes all played their parts acting out the song to a tee. Folks swore it was part of the show but nah, it's just what happens at a "Block (Association) party" ya'll. Memorable! Well thank you once AGAIN for helping us put Brooklyn on the map as a destination to party for Halloween this year. We love for that. Also please join us THIS FRIDAY at Room Service to witness Goldfinger & Trauma tear it down AGAIN for (Sean John) Supermodel Miguel Perdomo's B'day party hosted by Knicks Raymond Felton. Then Sat. Nov. 20th "Flashing Lights Pt.2" (Private penthouse photo shoot party/ SheisNYC anniversary) Yerrrr! Get at me dog! theMreport@gmail.com
