"She Say She's Just A Kin." -Kindred The Family Soul's Listening Party Comes To BK

When you do GOOD work GOOD things happen to you! Case in point, I get an email requesting a small intimate Brooklyn venue that would be available to host a listening party, I was like "Sure I got that!" with a sexy decor and even sexier crowd, "Yeah, I got that too!" Then I read it's for Kindred the Family Soul (!) and was like "Oh HELLZ yeah!" So fast forward to this week and I'm happily and proudly announcing that this event is happening THIS FRIDAY at Luke's Place (277 Cumberland St. corner of Lafayette)! For a special edition of "the Class Reunion" our (DJ Frei and I's) ongoing weekly Friday night soiree'.

"Flashing Lights" -Paparazzi Pics (Pt.133)

I never knew I hung we so many "fishy" people in my social circle! Thurs. & Fri. I had the honor of attending two back to back Pisces parties that was really good events! The one Thursday was held at the weekly R&B only event at Katra, where Gina (G'Ski) of Tamboril decided to have her B'day bash. It was a nice turn out, and even some back up dancers (from whatever group was in town at the moment) came out to heat up the dance floor. Then on to Friday night, for what was SUPPOSE to be a surprise b'day for Stephanie O'Conner wound up being a friends reunion/ birthday get together, no thanks to the "bright" person that ruined the "surprise" part of it (which is the POINT of it). Anyways we made the most and the best of it, and partied HARD regardless! Folks made it out early enough to enjoy the art exhibit/dinner for Ryan "OINK" Dennie we held (which was a plus), besides the sound selections of guest DJ Melo-X. Another Hit! Remember we do this EVERY last Fri. of the month! So you'll have to wait another whole month if you missed it. Till then sit back and enjoy the pics.
