"Flashing Lights" -Paparazzi Pics (Pt.238)

With each passing year something old is replaced by something new. That's IF it's even replaced at all! So alas I'm saddened to say (CUE THE VIOLINS) that Room Service on Fridays will be NO MORE. However while going through my iPhotos cache I spotted some pics from our final days over there that I deemed worthy to post finally being that the holidays were done. S/O's to Stormy McNair, Melissa Alvarez, & Laura Abreu who celebrated there b'days with us and are pictured down below. Besides the picture came out GREAT (if I do say so myself) and I'm sure you'd wanna share 'em with friends & the fam. Enjoy my people!

"Flashing Lights" -Paparazzi Pics (Pt. 236)

Starting on Wed. night I basically went out EVERY night over the holiday weekend! I set it off at the swankiest NEW bar in Brooklyn, the Emerson. then headed up w/Gary to the Empire Room to check DJ Trauma play for a hot sec. Thursday (Thanksgiving night), I hit up Southpaw for the BKC's "Le Cirque" event w/ Talib Kweli djaying and DJ Trauma (again). Then Black Friday was the bang out event at Room Service w/ Camille McDonald (of America's Next Top Model fame) held her HUGE b'day bashment, hosted by Deon Grant of the NY Giants! DJayed by Goldfinger & DJ Trauma (yet AGAIN)!!! I didn't take as many pics as I would have liked to, only cause it was SO craazy in there EARLY, but there are some below I posted to give you some what of any idea what went down. BTW TONIGHT (Dec.3rd) is "Jay Day"! The Jay-Z musical tribute on the eve of Young Hova's B'day. Go cope the book (Decoded) AND the greatest hits album too! Rsvp: theBlockRsvp@gmail.com

"Get Into The Party Life!" -Roll, Skate, Roc, Bounce!

You CANNOT, I repeat you CANNOT be a fan of Rap / Hip-Hop (or music period), and not respect this man for what he's done did to the game! From his personal style, catch phases, word play, business savvy, etc. Jay-Z has reinvented what it means to be successful as a rapper. With his career the bar was set! So with all that being said, This Sat. (Dec. 4th) is (not so) Young (anymore) Hova's B'day, so at Room Service we thought what better way to celebrate than honor the man through a musical tribute THIS FRIDAY! Collabos, rare cuts, the hits...you'll hear it all in a special set spun by experienced DJs DJ Goldfinger & DJ Trauma!
