Recap: Onyx | Venu

Last night I dug deep y'all and headed out to Venu (100 Warrenton St, Theater District) hosted by the Harvard Business School African American Student Union. Me and Fab! CFO Erika showed up around 11:30 thinking that we would be early and found the place to be already packed! Guess these people take their partying seriously!

The crowd at 11:30 p.m.

I peeped the crowd and it was international. Everyone stuck with the dress code of black, but it was varied with cocktail dresses to jeans to suits and ties. Although this party was primarily for the Business School I saw a few people from the Medical School and the Law school - Shout out to the ladies of S.U.E.D.E.!!! - looking lovely as always.

The atmosphere was alright...ratio the woman certainly ran the floor, but I was glad to see people really dancing and getting down. Having that said the place got hot quick and although I saw a few fans scattered about the room, there was certainly no air-conditioning. With sweaty body's and no ventilation the dance floor smelled like arm pits...wet sweaty armpits. I mean, I get it, I know you're coming from work, or school - maybe you took a taxi or rode the T...but y'all are business people - remember - never let them see you sweat and certainly don't let them smell you!! Hygiene is so important! Get the funk under control!

Actin' like they don't have school in the morning...

DJ R.E.GG did a decent job of getting people dancing, but didn't go outside of the box and stuck mostly to early 2000 hits. I felt so bad when he played the "Cupid Shuffle" and the crowd look thoroughly confused. I did like the placement of the DJ on the stage rather than having it a VIP area. (There were no VIP areas at this party which was also nice) So you got a full view of his entertaining animated faces. Transitions were good and he didn't spend a lot of time on mike, so he did his job, but I wasn't overly impressed.

DJ. R.E.GG focused man

At the end of the night gotta say this was certainly a college party. There were plenty of shout outs to "Section E", "Class of 2010" I kept waiting for "Represent your click"- but was fortunately spared.

If I were a Business School student this would have probably been the best ish ever!! And would have taken the opportunity to dance with the cutie I had been eyeing in Econ. So, from an outsiders view I think it was certainly an "A" time. The fact that it was packed out on a Wednesday says volumes about their marketing strategy and hype-a-bility.

As for me..., eh - it was just another day at the office :)
