Recap: The Gallery in Silver Spring | Cheeky Sasso

Cheeky Sasso hosted the 3rd Annual Orange & Blue Alumni Party with Jason Camp. Held at The Gallery (1115 East West Highway Silver Spring, MD) in Silver Spring, I suppose this venue provided an alternative to the more metropolitan clubs inside the District city lines. 

By the time I made it inside, it was way past 1 AM and I must have missed the fun because everybody was dumb drunk by the time I arrived. I was sad because they no longer have the cute, long stemmed silver martini glasses or maybe they save them for their daytime customers...yea, no one cares but me...

(Video note: To see my real thoughts on Ray Lewis' party, click here!)

Cheeky definitely brought a mixed crowd to the venue, where the party seemed to be poppin' off on the basement level. From seemingly hood (I say seemingly because c'mon...it's Montgomery County) to college alum, everybody seemed to be having a good time; especially the birthday party to the right...that food smelled too good. My friend Dara and I just wanted a wing...just.one.wing. 

Whatever they put in those drinks had everybody lifted...almost too lifted as I saw three different fights break out in front of my eyes. And although people were rolling out well before last call, the last few standing still seemed to be freakin' it on the dance floor.

I'd go again...

SlackerFab: Love | The Gallery | Cafe Asia | Pasha

Okay folks...your girl is going to the Bahamas (shout out to 'Rickie; my jetset buddy) in like 5 hours and I really can't give y'all the rundown like I want to. BUT; the top four places to hit up this weekend are:

1. Talib Kweli will be at Love (1350 Okie St. NW) on Friday promoting his (relatively new) album Eardrum

2. The Gallery (1115 East West Highway)  in Silver Spring on Saturday -- shud be good now that the Hotboy DJ Quicksilva is on the 1s and 2s...

3. First Saturdays at Cafe Asia (1720 Eye St. NW)...this one is called "Sex Shooter"...I just don't get it...

4. Pasha is continuing the longest metaphor in DC party life with "The VIVID Trilogy". Check out the video invite here. Snaps for the hi-tech.

Okay luvs, back to packing I go...I'll miss you... :)

p.s. "I kinda' wanna be your sugar momma" <--- the joke was on me today! (inside Gchat joke)

Random Tidbits: The Gallery | The Park at 14th

Sources tell me the Gallery (1115 East West Hgwy.) in Silver Spring had a nice crowd on Saturday (1.25.08), despite the many not so fab women (my source used the word ugly but that's a little rude); still the service was great!

Another source tells me The Park @ 14th (920 14th St. NW) needs to get it together. First, the bouncers got their own hustle; charging people $80 to skip the line -- and if there's no one in line and it isn't crowded inside, why make people wait outside in 15 degree weather??? That's just not what's up.

Saturday | DT at Cafe Asia | Flywire at Gallery | Vivid at Pasha | 18+ Love with DJ Khaled | Teedra Moses at Black Cat

Hopefully the snow won't keep us in the house this weekend because there is literally too much to do. From Silver Spring to downtown DC, there's something for everyone!

Of course, Dream Team has Cafe Asia (1720 Eye Street) on lock (at least on Saturdaysss) and they're paying homage to a man that made tremendous change in the lives of every American.

With their "I Have a Dream" party on Saturday (1.19.08) I guess you can two step and think about how much progress America has made, where racism doesn't exist anymore and separatism is a thing of the pasttttt ( I'm too cynical for my own good!)

---

Flywire hooked up with Cheeky Sasso Ent. to bring Flywire Saturdays to the Gallery (1115 East West Highway) in Silver Spring. Flywire is known heavily in Baltimore, not so much DC but maybe Flywire is trying to get more exposure. More power to them.

Cheeky throws very classy events so I'm sure every third Saturday at the Gallery will be completely grown and hopefully sexy.

Muna and Vivid Fusion (what does that mean anyway?!) had a very succesful party last Saturday (if you missed our Fab Correspondent Miss Aminata's review, click here) and he's trying to do it again this Saturday (1.19.08).

Same place, probably the same crowd...It's called "The Encore", how fitting. It's a nice time, I just hope they have the air conditioning on this time!

So, Marc Barnes decided to shut down his Thursday night party for the 18+ crew and give them some love on the weekend. Love (1350 Okie Street NW) will now be 18+ on Saturdays, giving Platinum some much needed competition.

It's called Dream Saturdays (perhaps a homage to the club, as it was once named Dream). DJ Khaled will be in the building (WE THE BESTTTT!) to help transform a once 21+ night to 18+. But don't worry, for those of us who are 'of age' the third floor will be dedicated to those who got ID.

Hope this works!

Here's Teedra performing "Take Me" at Black Cat back in April.
