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. :)

Photo: Corona... the San Antonio way.

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! :)

THIS JUST IN! "The It Factor"Cancelled??

After changing locations to accommodate the crowd, it looks like "The It Factor" from promoters Mistrie, Klutch, E1 Live! Entertainment and CAN Entertainment has been CANCELLED!!

Sooooo...all y'all who RSVP'd will need to get on somebody else's list and fast!! Scroll BostonFab! for alternatives.

*Fab Girl Tip: It is likely that other parties, namely Prestige at Venu (100 Warrenton St, Theater District) will reach capacity more quickly than expected. If it's that serious for you (as it is for me, because I pre-paid :)). Get there early!! And please, please, pah-lease act appropriately. Dress appropriately, tip the bartenders, leave the drama with your Mamma. There is a reason why we have "difficulty" finding places to go out in Boston. Don't let a few trifflin' folk ruin it for the rest of us!

Stay FAB! - Naw - like, for real tho'

7.3 The It Factor | CHANGE OF VENUE!! | Sanctuary

Due to the high volume of RSVP's - Mistrie, Klutch, E1 Live! Entertainment and CAN Entertainment are moving "The It Factor" from the grand opening of Pearl (275 Tremont St, Theater District) to

Sanctuary
(189 State St, Financial District)

Just added to the lineup are JAMN 94.5 Dj Geespin and DJ Big

Ladies are still free before 11 w/ RSVP. Everyone who RSVP's gets reduced admission.

To RSVP click here!!

7.3 The It Factor | Club Pearl

Formerly known as Club Pure, it has gotten a make over and is now emerging as:

Pearl
(275 Tremont St, Theater District next to The Roxy)

with a re-opening party called The It Factor sponsored by Mistrie, E1 Live! Entertainment, Klutch and CAN Entertainment...

The new digs boast pearly white furniture and drapes (ooh la la?). With a brighter ambiance, six Vegas style 66" screens, complete with silhouette dancers (Dunno how I feel about that...) and a VIP designed for real VIPs, this upgrade may be the best thing that hit Beantown.

DJ Anaconda, DJ Riddim Rider, DJ Big and DJ King Ilabash will ALL be spinnin'...(like 30 min sets??)

The party will be hosted by D. Lopes & The Video Queen Lady V.

Ladies are FREE before 11 w/RSVP! To RSVP click here!!

5 plasma screens for your viewing enjoyment.

It says it's free if you RSVP here!!

But even if you don't get the chance, I'm hopeful they'll let you in :)

After the game party 'til 2 a.m.!

Tell 'em you saw it on the Fab! ;)

GO CELTICS!!

Recap: Envy Saturdays | Vintage Lounge

After Facing Love, I headed to one of my favorite venue's Vintage Lounge (72 Broad St., Financial District) to check out the weekly party Envy Saturdays hosted by Klutch.

Unfortunately, my favorite bartender was not in the house, so I wasn't able to get the famed raspberry cupcake martini, but I did have the Key Lime Pie martini and it was DELICIOUS! I had to hand it to the all-female bar staff of last night, they were working hard, schlepping crates of glasses to the back, manning the bar making drinks - and making them well - all without coping an attitude. A very good look.

Photo: Feelin' that reggaton with DJ Jr. Vega

As for the two rooms, I still don't understand how they get away with calling this a two room venue, but they do. DJ Jr. Vega was shuttin' 'em down in the Latin room, both girls and guys were showing their salsera y tumbao for real.

In the main room I surely felt I was back in college! The crowd, age ranged from about 21 - 24 (heavy on the 21), were battling, showing off and doing some serious get-a-room-please grinding. A bubble dress and heels were the uniform for the ladies (I didn't get the memo) and aviators and white rim glasses were a staple for the dudes.

Photo: Main room partyers

DJ Backspin was killin' it! I think I found my new favorite DJ. Although he played mostly hits from the early 2000, he mixed in the new with a lil' bit of reggae at just the right moments. I loved that he actually mixed the songs, and didn' t just let them play all the way through like he didn't have enough material. There was a point to the set.

Photo: DJ Backspin on the job

You heard from him a few times to give a shout out for a birthday...but none of this "Do my ladies run this...where my bill payers at?..." every other second. He let the music speak for itself. And with no equipment slip ups or blown speakers, everybody was dancing until 2 a.m. Quite a feat for a Boston DJ! Mad props!

So, my advice, if you aren't afraid to really get your dance on, want to do more than be stared at from across the room and aren't scurred to show them what you workin' with - head out to Vintage Lounge on a Saturday, 'cuz that's what's up.

Stay Fab! :)

Mary J. and Jay Z Ain't No love in Beantown?

Seems like Ain't no Love for the "Heart of the City" Tour of renown artists Mary J Blige and Jay Z. The tour has barely been publicized in Boston. There are still many tickets available for the Thursday night's show. They range from $47 - $125; kinda steep I know, but it is Mary and Jay!! For tickets click here!

There will be an after party at Vertigo (126, State Street, Fanuiel Hall) sponsored by Mistrie, Klutch and Boston Live! To get on the guestlist click here. I haven't tried Vertigo on a Thursday night...should be interesting. Lemme know!
