Recap: Paradise Party at Z Square

I strolled into the Paradise party at Z Square (580 Commonwealth Ave) before the 11 PM cut off and entered a party with a very chill vibe. With tasty hors d’ oeuvres lining a far wall near the bar area for easy access, around 12 the dance floor was packed - only problem - hardly anybody was dancing...

The sound system was wack. It sounded like a speaker was blown! To make matters worse a lot of dudes were straight posted up - acting too scurred to dance. I thought DJ Big would play more reggae and island tunes to the party's theme (I was ready to win' y'all!), but he played mostly Top 40 (boo!).

My advice: Next time promoters throw a themed party they should go over the top with it; lei’s, fake palm trees, party favors, tropical food, tropical music...or just call it what it is:

Another party at Z Square. Save the hype.

Final thoughts: The party was OK…but was not the jump off for Spring.
