Recap : DJ Geespin Birthday Party | Foundation Lounge

Thanks to Restless Entertainment (Shout out to Marlene!) - The Boston Fab! Team was invited to a by invitation only birthday bash for DJ Geespin of Jamn 94.5 at the Foundation Lounge (500 Commonwealth Ave, Fenway) with DJ Cypha of MTV on the discs.

I had RSVP'd with someone via phone, but surprisingly (okay - not really) our names were not on the list. The door woman felt like since we knew there was a party we were set to get in - works for me! And there were a few, but not many, people. We headed for the bar to get a drink and the bartender let me know that they were giving away free drinks in the back. Good lookin' out! ;)

In the back lounge they were serving Kettle One vodka and we proceeded to get our "free drink" - a Dixie cup sized martini glass filled with Kettle One and cranberry juice. But hey, it was free so we stayed at the the table until they ran out of cups! Yup - we shut it down!

After our freebies we headed back to the main room to mix and mingle and the place was seriously packed. Though it's not too hard to pack this place out as it really is a lounge.

In the main room you come down some steps and there are couches all around and the bar is like 2 feet in front of you. In the second room there are couches and tables side by side almost on top of each other, but is a nice place to chill out from the main room. There is even an outdoor patio open for a breath of fresh air. The interior design is hot, and gives a comfy feel, so I would definitely come back for the ambiance, maybe for a drink after work. But as a for a club spot? Hmmm I'm not sold.

We stopped by the bar and for a real drink...and the line was long, but I have survived worse. I got my staple of course, and they friggin' messed it up with soda water, not tonic water... Geez...it's really so simple people. But Jax enjoyed her apple martini.

*Side note...At the bar this nice brotha with dreads let me go before him and I tried to buy him a drink in thanks, but he said he was straight. What is up with dudes not allowing a woman to buy them a drink?? I have tried on other occasions to do so, just to be nice, like if a guy let me go first in line, or took a bunch of pictures for me and my friends, and I have always been denied. I don't get it - but hey, I guess its the thought that counts.

The crowd was more culturally mixed than class, from "B" hats to chicks in spandex dresses and stilettos, all were welcome - and most if not all, were very friendly. Me and my gals found our way to a 2 x 3 ft piece of dance floor and danced our hearts out in the middle of two VIP areas and they didn't seem to mind all. Thanks guys!

Other than the bar fiasco I had a really good time. Cypha did a good job of switching the music up so we didn't get bored, and gave Boston a lil' of that NYC flava.

I'd do it again :)

Stay fab!

6.5 Where are you watching the game? | Celtics

Fabulously Submitted by
Boston Fab! Correspondent A-Marie:

If you’re like me with no tickets to Game 1 of the NBA Finals (boo!), check out my list of hot spots to check out the game:



  • With it’s newest location right around the corner from the Garden, Boston Beer Works (112 Canal Street) has two floors with 15 television screens and 15 pool tables! Now that’s a whole lot of sports going on!!!

  • The Blue Wave Bar & Grill (343 Congress Street) is not only club hot spot, but is a great place to watch the game over a good meal and a nice martini! The Blue Wave boasts flat screen televisions over the bar as well as a 42-inch plasma for your viewing pleasure.


  • Jillian’s Boston (145 Ipswich Street) is located next to Fenway Park, where you will find just about anything going on here – pool, bowling, dancing, and good food. It's 18+ after 8 PM on Thursdays.


  • Serious Boston sports fans know that Game On (82 Landsdowne Street) is the real deal! This place claims to have more HD-projection televisions than a Best Buy showroom! Thursday nights is also Trivia Thursdays where you have a chance to win a $50 cash prize. If you do stop by, definitely try the Dee Double burger…it's soooo good!

  • You know the luck of the Irish will be present at The Blarney Stone (1505 Dorchester Avenue) and this is a favorite spot to watch the game for many local Bostonians. The Blarney Stone serves great food and has outdoor seating. The bar stays poppin’ until 1 AM. You might just see your girl there tonight (wink!)

  • For something to do during and after the game check out Foundation Lounge (500 Commonwealth Ave, Kenmore Square, Cambridge). DJ Geespin of Jam'n 94.5. This 21+ event has no cover charge and you can dress casually, this party is hosted by R.O.B.
