Thursday Night Recap : Sammy's B-day and DJ QuestLove

So after a lil' bit of a respite your girl emerged back on the scene to celebrate the birth of Sammy aka "Mr. West". I arrived early and there was some what of a crowd. The thing about Sammy's Thursday nights is that it is crazy mixed. You got professionals, college kids, over 40+ a serious hodgepodge. I left the party around 11:30 and it was getting filled, but wasn't packed. I saw a few tall people, but none of the start studdedness that I was expecting, but again I was there early and left early.

Next stop I had a last minute revelation that DJ QuestLove of The Roots was in town and this was a not-to-miss event at Vinalia. I was a little upset I had decided on wearing a nice outfit 'cuz I really could have been going bananas!

I'll say my thoughts on the venue first. I have only seen Vinalia as a restaurant, but as a club I think it works well for the masses, but if you're trying to do VIP and tables, it may prove to be problematic unless they're kept in the separate back room. The staff...eeeh a little snotty, kinda rubbed me in the wrong way a lot. The bartenders were not the most helpful and did prove that they will ignore you even though the place was not packed at all. I guess they aren't trying to make money. It's intimate, but not too too small. My impression is that it's an okay venue, maybe more suited for a cocktail hour than a get down and dirty type thing, but no huge complaints.

The crowd was a bit frightful...not due entirely to their Halloween outfits. I was somewhat taken aback by the rocker attitudes of most, though there were a few Nubian's swayin' to the beat off off to the side.

The crowd

His set was in a word - amazing! He has such an artful way with his transitions. The theme for the night was definitely horns and drums and heavy on the reggae. He stuck mostly with the classics, but faked us out a few times thinking he was playing the most recent sampled versions. The man most assuredly knows his music.

My heart pulsated at an frantic pace as he switched it up with almost flawless precision, songs that you didn't think you even liked - like Roxanne, suddenly you got caught up in the beat and just let go.

To wrap up this amazing night he played this reggae song "Barack Obama" OMG! I love the fact that he doesn't say anything the entire night...but rather let's the music speak on and on and on.

He is certainly one of my fave, if not my fav DJ's of all time.

DJ Questlove

If you love Hip Hop music - Do not miss the next QuestLove show!

*Side Note: I saw promoters Rob and MJ scouting the building with an official type owner person, could there be a party in the works?? I'm just saying...this is where you heard it first - well kinda! :)

Stay Fab! :)

Recap: Red Sky

I was too through with the incidents of Saturday/Sunday morning, but still felt compelled to support my man, Sammy aka "Mr. West" on his first venture on his own at a spot in Boston. (And just in case you were wondering ladies, he is back in Beantown on a permanent basis.)

I showed up at around 11 with my roommie who hardly ever goes out and refused to be photographed (such a herb)...but we took a nice seat at the bar thanks to some ladies moving over to make room.

The scene was pretty quiet. I really liked The Red Sky (15 North St, Fanuiel Hall). As it was my first time actually going into the place, I discovered the lounge area towards the front and the pillars that lit up the place, which made the spot very appealing. There was plenty of space to sit down and have a chat and if you were brave enough to dance, there was space for that too.

This place, like some others, doesn't have a DJ permit, so the sounds were a mixed selection that was pretty good.*Side Note: Um...certain DJ's I need you to start selling your mix tapes...you know who you are....hint-hint. ;)

Sammy did deliver on his promises. Prior to my arrival the playboy models handed out energy drinks and gave away t-shirts. And I did get a free corona complete with a lime. You're off to a good start.... :)

The crowd was friendly. I met a soon-to-be Fab! fan Ryan who suggested I put a drop of tabasco sauce in the Corona bottle to give it a little kick. I actually kinda liked it. My roommate also has a San Antonio way of drinking a Corona: Take an extra lime, rub it on the neck of the bottle. Then shake salt around the rim of the bottle. Lick the salt off of the bottle on your way to taking a sip. It's a little un-lady like, but it tastes pretty good. I would have posted the pic of me doing it but...yeah. Not something you want to do in front of a lot of people. They may get ideas. :)

Okay so back to the party:

As for my other drink choices I did get the Fab-o-lini ($10), which was nasty. It's strawberry and champagne and didn't appeal to my palate. Still, the drinks were reasonably priced at $8. The bartenders were a bit sloppy, dressed in sweatshirts, hoodies and were just slow and distracted...one of them forgot to take my money twice.

The crowd never got poppin' but hey it was a Sunday night, people had to work... and last nights shooting took place only a few blocks away, which may have deterred people as well. Although it never really got packed, people seemed to flow easily in and out and were conversing and mingling. Towards the end of the night, there was even a bit of dancing. It was also nice to see other promoters such as Klutch and K. Pritty who came out in support.

For Sammy's first event I give it a B+. He did what he was suppos'd to do, as far as delivering what he promised but by making it a guest list only night, it may have hurt his chances at a larger crowd.

Overall I had a good time. Watch out...Sammy is comin' for y'all :)

See you at the next one! Stay Fab! :)

Recap: V.I.P. Party | Stix Ultra Lounge

I got myself to Stix Lounge ( 35 Stanhope Street, Back Bay) around 10:30 p.m. and headed downstairs. I really liked the ambiance of the room with a long leather couch that lined the far wall with a long bar area parallel to it. I could tell that this as a great place to kick back, relax and have intimate conversations.

I arrived after the free apps of chicken skewers and roasted potatoes so I asked a fellow patron what they thought of the food and he said, it was so-so - I guess they got what they paid for. :)

(Photo: It's me! Boston Fab!)

I got a space at the bar, but there was only one bartender so I waited a good ten minutes for my Ciroc vodka with tonic. I must admit the vodka is very very smooth but doesn’t have the same after effects of Grey Goose or my ultra favorite Belvedere. But the drink was served in an ultra swanky swerve shaped glass, which was very cool.

Around 11:30 p.m. they opened the upstairs. It looked very nice with back lighting on the ceiling over wooden panels and a bar that changed colors. You would think that the decor signified a great night, right? Ummm not so much.

It started with the coat check…uh... what coat check? Apparently there was someone who was going to come and take our coats some where…but she never showed up so I ended up stashing my coat near the DJ booth. Sooo un fab...

(Photo: BostonFab! fans looking fabulous while waiting for coat check)

DJ Dru Nyce, who apparently set up for like 2 hours, because we didn’t see him doing a doggone thing while I straight up started listening to my half-cousin's iPod. And when he finally did set up…I kept saying “Eh…what’s that song?” It was mad muffled…when you can hear more private conversations than song lyrics, there is an issue. I spoke with one of the promoters that said the DJ forgot a cord that he needed in order to access the sound system properly. My thing is – this is your event…if the DJ forgets a cord you should be hustlin' to get a cord from somewhere. I know you still made your money but dang….I didn't dance all night. :(

Then the bar…okay so you know how I get about slow bartenders, and yes there were a lot of people, but come on!! You are a bartender, the majority of your take home is in tips…if you won’t do it for me, do it for the hustle. We waited like 15 minutes for our drinks, I was like screw this I’m going back downstairs to the other bar…well that was a big fat NO because the downstairs lounge was at capacity. I didn't know different rooms in a club could be at capacity… I thought we were all V.I.P tonight - my bad. So, after a few people left, I got "access" to the downstairs lounge, and as I am leaving patrons were asking the bouncer “can I get back in later?” and the bouncer was like “Man, I dunno.” Really?? Well at least he was nice about it.

(Pre-paying will get you in, but it won't get you dancing...)

As for the crowd, - the V.I.P.-ness was not strongly felt. I mean some people really showed out and the dudes did put on suits, but I still saw some people in jeans -chillaxin. I'm like why say the dress code will be enforced if it’s not? I could have saved an outfit.

J. Francois, K. Pritty and Mr. West really dropped the ball on this one. I absolutely loved the venue, and the concept had great potential, but I just didn’t feel the usual hustle of the promoters - they were real slack with it. Maybe pre-paying isn't such a good idea if they are going to take our patronage for granted. I felt bad for Sammy 'cuz this certainly wasn't a proper farewell. Better luck in New York and safe travels, man.

I unfortunately gotta give this party a very disappointed C.

Let's hope this is just a glitch in a series usually stellar events.

Stay Fab!

TONIGHT! P. Diddy Ciroc Vodka VIP Party | Stix Lounge

Tonight Stix Lounge (35 Stanhope St, Back Bay) is the place to be for another J. Francois and K. Pritty and Sammy aka Mr. West (why everybody got a stage name? ;)) affair. Be sure to show Sammy some serious love becasue it's also his farewell party!

Dress code is ultra classy as always...bring your A game. ;)
