"I'll House You! You In My Hood Now!" - #One More Chance Video Revisited...Real B.I.G!

Lord knows I been (and thrown) a zillion plus parties in my lifetime. So for me to be excited about any party...let alone a HOUSE party it has to be pretty MAJOR! And I'm happy to say this party was just that case! I was talking about us doing one for the longest but the timing never panned out. However on Saturday April 9th all the right key ingredients came together to make this one of the most memorable house parties held in Brooklyn...EVER! First off it was (singer/good friend) Malene Younglao's b'day, plus DJ Ben-Ha-Meen was toasting his new residency in Brooklyn, then add on top of that the Block Association & Alador & Smith two of the biggest & best social event planning teams from Brooklyn co-signing it. Beside the fact that the weather was acting right that night. Yep...a PERFECT STORM! I live on the very next block from Alador & Smith Manor (where it was held) so I took a nap that night thinking "Eh, it'll start late so I'll stroll around like say 11-11:30ish to beat the rush." BOY did I sleep! Got there 11:30 to be welcomed by a full house! Front to back, main floor to bottom! Lucky me, I remembered to bring my new BF (Canon T2I) with me just in case folks don't believe what we get so hyped about. Funny enough this was one: SUPPOSE to be a small lil' comfortable get together with the peeps to celebrate M. Younglao's b'day. You know "hush hush" style. And secondly this was thrown together the SAME DAY in a matter of a few hours SON!!!! I say this to help you understand just why I was SO not expecting it to be so...so... "ZOOISH" at 11 freaking 30 at night! Anyway here's the footage capture of the "Big Foot" of house parties. We're dedicating this one to the best that ever did it (a house party) on film. B.I.G




BTW; Here's that unforgettable text that went out that makes me laugh to this day!

"Flashing Lights" -Paparazzi Pics (Pt.247)

"The great Frank White is here to excite!" And excite they did! Last Wednesday the short-lived long loved cultural cafe' Frank White held a reunion slash honor awards gathering (held at Littlefield) that was one not to be missed. Friends, family, and fans all came together to toast the accomplishments of one another achieved in the space in such a short time. the night was truly...EPIC! It was great to see all those familiar faces together in one spot and on top of that walk home with the "crown" (award). But on Wed. the celebrating didn't end. The SAME gang got together AGAIN in a more intimate setting for the relaunching of "the Class Reunion" dinner party event now held at Luke's Place (formerly En) for the fashionable social set in Bklyn and beyond. Here's the picture EVERY ONE'S been asking so patiently (yeah right) about. Enjoy, and hope to see you at Luke's later on tonight or even the Ft. Greene Fest kick-off party.

"Flashing Lights" -Paparazzi Pics (Pt.246)

Last Saturday (March 12th) our very last "Hello Brooklyn" party at Ultraviolet was to say the least BIG! Why? Cause no only did we have a HUGE turn-out for the B.I.G. tribute party, but also thanks to Shinuh Holt, Berry Boo, and (professional poker player) Storm Leroy, who all brought out Brooklyn's finest to help celebrate their individual birthdays! No lie, Ultraviolet was at capacity by 12:00am! AND there was a steady line till 2:00am (which was really 3am being that daylight savings time jumped ahead one hour)! Hate to rub it in but not only did you miss the best one we had there but also the chance to experience the venue itself cause that too was there very LAST event to be held over there. Sad right? Anyways BIG (pun intended) THANKS to Chelsea Dwinell (DJ James Blonde/UV manager) Deborah Smith (from UV), Hard Hittin' Harry, DJ Bing Notty, DJ Pudge, and the whole staff at Ultraviolet for helping us rock "BK to the fullest." Anyways for now enjoy what few pics I had the chance to take, and catch at the more mature laid back vibe Friday night spot we've started at Luke's Place (277 Cumberland & Lafayette) for the more fashionable social set. Ciao mein...
