I have a major celeb crush on this man (siiiiiigh).
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. :)
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. Print this out to get in free before 9 PM. There's a $5 cocktail special from 7-9 PM. The party goes until 3 AM. Last night, The Park at Fourteenth (920 14th NW) popped off with Biz Markie on the tables and many HU alum in the building. Shout out to my girl Robin who celebrated her birthday there last night. 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. If you're trying to party on a budget, head to Pure (1326 U Street NW. Ladies free until midnight, fellas until 11 PM. They even have $1 drinks from 6-9 PM. The party goes until 3 AM. Click here to RSVP. If you graduated from Howard during the...well, let's just call them the good ole' days, hop down to Zanzibar (700 Water St. SW) because Sugar Hill Gang will be performing.

I ain't gon lie y'all...I ain't see no Gloria Velez, no Antawn Jamison and no Deshawn Stevenson...hmm...false advertising? Perhaps...I did leave early tho' so who knows. I'm still waiting to see the pics from the nice photographer man Nik. (Shout out to him!)
Dag, I must say they got me because the promotion was on point. It hyped it up a lil much. The venue is nice, but after trecking up three flights of stairs, (my outta shape tail) was outta breath! Good thing there is a SEXY bartender there to help me quench my thirst. (And yes all the ladies were drunk and going ONLY to him to get their drinks. Some fat chick almost elbowed me to get to him...I hope she tipped him for all of that)
I love the decor of 1223. It's mad colorful, sorta' reminds me of K Street.
But they do not play around...I was trying to re-apply my lipgloss and the only open bathroom was the Men's. Some big body security guard quickly told me I had to wait for the Ladies. Whatever!
The whole night people were stuntin' for no reason...whether it was a guy telling me he'd buy me whatever I wanted if I would stop using 3-syllable words or this other dude showing me how many songs his iPhone held...I had had enough!
Go to 1223 Spank Wednesday's if you're African, a groupie or want to stunt...yea can't forget about the groupies...in full effect ( I even saw the chick that used to mess with DJ Strawberry. I guess they're on a break)!
Shout out to hardworking promoter Kavon. (he's no longer Little S...inside joke)
p.s. I did see that damn Fred Smoot truck. A mess.
Ibiza (1222 First St. NE) is doing the most. Besides E'd up Diddy there on Thursday, they're having this 80's party on Friday thrown by Dave and Ray. They encourage gold chains, shell toes, Adidas track suits, Filas, Fur Kangols and the like...
I know one thing, they can't spell. If you gon' promote via email, let's use spell check!

My linesister's favorite spot, Republic Gardens' is having the usual on Saturday. Is it me or do their flyers look exactly like Lima's??

Lima always got the hottest flyer...but it looks like someone is biting!
Aight y'all. I won't be on the scene this weekend. I'll be in Chicago celebrating my sister's birthday at Zentra Nightclub. Holla' at me baby!
I've only been here once before and it was kinda' wack. They have very nice couches, complete with a velvet rope that make it appear that you're VIP...but anyone can sit there.
The party is being hosted by Washington Wizards' Antawn Jamison & Deshawn Stevenson...does he really have on that overly tight 50 cent wife beater? Ew, take it off...
My baby does it again, Mark and Taz continue Love's Summer Concert Series with Young Jeezy...all the hoodrats I'm sure will be cheap and not buy a ticket but squeeze up on the 2nd floor to see him...
