Howard Homecoming 2008 - Saturday NIGHT!

It's the end of the weekend and if you're not tired yet, pull out your freekum and your hard bottoms and let's take over the city:

If you're looking for THE party to cram into, The Park at Fourteenth (920 14th Street NW). Diddy and AJ will be in the building. They're requesting only black attire (swankkkkky). The party goes until 3 AM.

If you've got the money (because the $45 tickets are sold out and it'll be $80 to get in) head to Bobby Vans (12th and NY Ave. NW) where DJ Kid Capri will be on the tables. It's a masquerade theme...oh and did I mention open bar ALL NIGHT with free appetizers and free deserts all night too??

Penang (1837 M Street NW) and Mai Thai (1200 19th Street NW) are shutting down 19th and M Streets to bring you one of the first block parties in years! A great idea, one price gets your admission to both venues. Get your tickets here...they range from $20-$250.

The third annual Cufflinks and Cocktails party is going down at Champions in Georgetown (1206 Wisconsin Ave. NW). Admission is $20 with a complimentary buffet.

Some sexy HU alum like Lamman Rucker will be at The Republic (1355 U Street NW) tonight. Also, Ryan Leslie (who is working the homecoming scene) will be in the building. Happy Hour from 7-10. Get in with a discount when your print this. Don't think this party will shut down anytime soon. Around 2 AM the party starts all over again and goes until 'until'. Complimentary breakfast from 3-5 AM. The first 500 ladies get in free (at 2 AM).

Y'all know about my huge musical crush on Ryan Leslie. Well, he'll be at Zanzibar (700 Water Street SW) tonight. Reduced admission before 10 PM.(that's mad early)

The City Museum (801 K Street NW) is poppin' off tonight with the sounds of Biz Markie (he's working this weekend, ain't he?). The party is called "Old Skool meets New School" with DJ Quicksilva reppin' the new school. Angie Ang will also be in the building.

Layla (501 Morse Street NW) is hosting a party tonight featuring DJ SNS. It's a more upscale venue (meaning freekum dresses).

CALLING ALL GREEKS (and people who love them)! The Kappas, Alphas, Omegas and Sigmas (damn, the Iotas never get no love!) are hosting tonight's party at Fur (33 Patterson Street NE). The first 500 ladies with this flyer get in free! :) It's 18+ to get in here.

Wow, I haven't partied here in years...Cafe Asia (1720 Eye Street NW) is having a HU alumni party for the classes of '97-'07. The party goes until 3 AM. Don't pay more than $20 to get in here. :)

Howard Homecoming 2008 - Friday Night!

If you're an out of towner you might as well do Howard Homecoming big...after you go to Yardfest (which starts at 12 noon...if you're Greek be sure to rep and take pictures by the plots!) head down to Love (1350 Okie Street NW) where Diddy and Big Tigger will be hosting. The party goes until 4 AM. Tickets are between $50 here. If you go here, be dressed to impress and intend on major crowds and drinks between $9-$13.

Many of Hollywood's fine Black celebs will be partying at Ibiza (1222 First Street NE) tonight including, Morris Chesnut, Boris Kodjoe, Biz Markie will be on the tables and I can't forget Claudia Jordan and Tony Rock.

Still, tonight, the party continues. There's open bar from 5-6 PM. RSVP here. Again, dress to impress because they will deny you at the door...

If you're looking for perhaps a less crowded party, check out the City Museum (800 Mt. Vernon Pl. NW) for a mingling party sponsored by Crown Royal and Uptown. To get in free all night, click here. The party is from 7-10 PM.

AKA Centennial | Saturday's Hot Spots

This Saturday to welcome the ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha, the bruhs are throwing "The P&G Exquisite Affair" (I'll refrain from catin' the bruhs out on this one). It should be a crowded good time with DJ Alizay and DJ Biz Markie on the 1s and 2s. The party goes until 3 AM at the Historical Society of Washington DC (801 K Street NW). Tickets are $50 (oh hell no) and are on sale here.

If you don't want to be totally surrounded by sorority girls, try being totally surrounded by groupies at H20 (800 Water St. SW). Allen Iverson and his celebrity friends are rumored to be in the building including Nelly, Clinton Portis, Anthony Anderson and Jason Campbell.

And thanks to my blogger friend D, I found out DMV native Tony "The Tiger" Thompson will fight one of the Klitschko brothers tonight on HBO in Germany.

Comedian Mike Brooks' Live Taping at Warner Theatre

A DC Native, Mike Brooks is coming back home after being on several of our favorite comedy shows like HBO's Def Comedy Jam, P. Diddy's Bad Boy's of Comedy, Comic View and in that awful movie The Salon with Vivica Fox and Terrence Howard. 

Anyway, he'll be taping at Warner Theatre (13th and E Streets NW) tomorrow night in his show "No Place Like Home". Get your tickets here! If you missed him then, don't miss him again...and if you've never heard of dude, check out his footage below:

p.s. He's having an after party at H20 (800 Water St. SW) with none other than the hardest working dude living in DC, Biz Markie.

Recap: Fred Smoot's Official Bday Party at Pose on The National Harbor

If you thought Wednesday night at Josephines was Fred Smoot's birthday party...well that was only part one. Last night, Freddy celebrated at Pose Ultra Lounge (201 Waterfront Street).

Lamar, an avid DCFab! fan told me about Pose a while ago. Still, it recently opened in PG County's Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, an over $800 million facility.

PR Girl Extraordinaire, Patrice B. has the skinny:

 
Fred Smoot celebrated his born day again at Pose, the National Harbor's new club, last night. Everyone was there: Clinton Portis, Lamont Jordan (who was at Josephines the night before), Santana Moss, Brendan Haywood, "Seezins" was there like she always is nowadays and projected #1 NBA Draft pick and PG Native, Michael Beasley (his young self held up the entrance because he wasn't 21, lol... he eventually got in though).

Biz Markie provided the sounds and Big Tigger (in all his extraness) was on the mic. 

Pose is a beautiful venue located on the 18th floor of the Gaylord Resort. It has a very strict dress code so don't go there half-steppin! The VIP section was upstairs, complete with plush couches and flat screen TVs that overlooked everyone else downstairs. 

Nothing major happened though. 

Some random guy gave me a $100 bill because he was sorry that he kept stepping on my shoes.

I'm glad I decided to go... :)

Thanks Patrice! :)
