"Brooklyn Is Coo Coo For CoCoBananas!" -This Saturday Is Ultraviolet Reign!

It's CRAZY how it was damn near IMPOSSIBLE to find a respectable party in Brooklyn that you didn't feel like you had to throw a protective vest on underneath ya good wears to attend! However with the help of the Block Association and other elite BK socialites (Daoud, Hard Hittin' Harry, Danny Castro & Ant Marshall) that slowly but SURELY starting to change (for the better). Now with the discover of a new space UltraViolet (in Park Slope / Gowanus) we're able to bring you TWO quality parties to Brooklyn night life. "Hello Brooklyn!" our EVERY OTHER Saturday night party (Jan.29th) AND the return of the popular monthly Zodiac parties called "CoCoBananas" all in one place! Here are two great PSA trailers promoting both that I know you'd enjoy! So...ENJOY!

"Coming To You LIVE!" -Must Attend Concerts Coming Up

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE live concerts! Especially when the artist(s) is at the peak of their craft. However I often forget the who, what, and where's to what's going on in town to catch live. And I KNOW you do too, so I've created this guide/list to keep you abreast of things. Put me on the list if you're hosting ANY of these!

"Eye Know The Godspel!" -(Sunday) Schooling Cats On Church Photography

God knows how long it's been since I last attended church, but I work close to two of the BIGGEST churches in NYC...If not the WORLD! Cathedral of St. John the Divine (between West 110th Street, which is also known as "Cathedral Parkway", and 113th Street) & Riverside Church (betwn Riverside Drive and Claremont Avenue & betwn. 120th Street and 122nd Street). However something you walk pass something EVERYDAY and never get to truly appreciate the beauty of it's appearance. That's till now. But new found love for photography got me excited about taking flicks of things with a whole new perspective. Here's a few joints I shot off at the churches mentioned that I think you'd appreciate. Enjoy 'em & prey for me too. Lol

"Flashing Lights" -Paparazzi Pics (Pt.240)

Ok Ne-Yo sung "Even clapping is different when you leaving the Champagne Life..." So question, is there ANOTHER level when you're living a Grey Goose & Patron life? Well last Monday folks gathering together to celebrate the Block Association's good friend Carlito's B'day @La Pomme definitely tried to find out. Walking in with an entourage 20 deep, we took over and set up camp EARLY to start the "I gotta go to work the next morning" night off with a chorus line of bottles that would make the Rockettes jealous! And if you were there to witness the bevy of women that table was surrounded by, you wouldn't have needed ONE drink to make any of these ladies look good. LOL! And judging by the turnout, Carlito may seriously have to think about coming back to doing events again man. WORD! Well If you couldn't make it out to stop by to celebrate w/ him he forgets you cause it WAS a Monday night but he still wants you to regret what you missed! (*See pictures below for reference) Good day & God bless. S/O to Mo' Vaughn for bottle sponorship btw.
