Recap: Grand Opening - Socialite Thursdays | District Lounge

You can't really call it a comeback 'cuz they never left. I rolled by Socialite Thursdays hosted by J. Francois and K. Pritty at District Lounge (180 Lincoln St, Financial District) around 7:30, just to see how the crowd was and I saw there were already a few people waiting in line. I took it as a good sign.

I did manage to find free street parking, but appreciated the parking suggestion of the promoters. I was also happy that this event wasn't as heavily promoted as the last one (Prestige = OVERKILL), but with just enough e-mails to keep it on your radar.

Alright so...once inside, you know how I do, gotta get the signature drink. The bartender at the first bar was a sweetheart, but seemed kinda new, a little flustered. But hey - we all were new once. She did make a good n' strong drink so she's a-okay in my book!

I came in on the tail end of the 6 - 9 crowd so people were still in their clusters, chatting and schmoozing, exchanging business cards and munching on apps. It was so nice to see y'all lookin' good and showing out.

As time passed I started to notice that the crowd was different somehow...I couldn't quite put my finger on it at first...but then...oh yeah that would be the ratio - this time in the females favor. Like 5 dudes to 1 chick. Lovin' it!!...well kinda. Sometimes, I didn't know what to do with myself - you know like -when you get that feeling that eyes are burning into the back of your head. And being approached so many times did get a little repetitive. But I gotta give the guys credit for actually trying and not just standing on the sidelines. Kudos!

By 11:30 the place was packed and they were holding the line. Sorry if you never made it in :(

I was also very pleased that they kept their promise of a raffle for a night on the town sponsored by The Dark Night. Though, I didn't win by like one number and was a little heated -I was glad that the advertising was on point this time. Good look!

The music...eh...you already know. The IPod selection wasn't quite as good as the last time, and the low volume made it hard to hear...but I think the idea is since it's free you're suppos'd to stock up on drinks and not really notice the music. And for the rest of the crowd it really worked. By around 12 people were dancing, grinding - in a very socialite kind of way :). I think the 6 - 9 atmosphere really allowed people to get to know one another and put a face with the booty - lol!

I dunno how people stayed there for like 8 hours though! And some people really did...wow.

So I gotta give this "Premiere" event a solid A. They delivered.

*Fab! Girl Tip: This is a weekly event, that is Fab! approved so definitely stop by - especially the ladies :). And just 'cuz it's free don't skimp on drinking, ordering some apps, something. There's a difference in being "thrifty" and just plain cheap!

Luv you!

Stay Fab! :)
