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. :)

Pic Recap: Ryan Leslie at Love

::sigh::....Ryan Leslie (clearly I'm a fan!)

...and look who also showed up, old tail Clifton Powell!

Ryan Leslie at Love Tonight!

My baby, my boo...the biggest musical crush I've had since Prince is coming to DC this weekend to perform on Love's (1350 Okie Street NW) second floor stage.

Big Tigger is also hosting this evening to make sure we party hard.

This is a hot ticket...or maybe I'm just saying that because he's my musical crush...Idk.

Video Recap: Ryan Leslie performs at Ibiza

In case you missed (my new crush) Ryan Leslie this weekend in the District, WKYS' EZ Street has the video of him performing at Ibiza nightclub (1222 First St. NE) last Friday:

Recap: AVENUE REPORT Magazine Celebrates One Year Anniversary

The celebration which marked the AVENUE REPORT's 1st anniversary was hands down a fab! event. From the choice of venue, the National Music Center (801 K Street, NW) to the overall atmosphere, AVENUE REPORT showed and proved that they intend to be a mainstay in the realm of Black media.

The featured artist of the night, Ryan Leslie ( his hit single is "Diamond Girl") took forever and a day to grace us with his presence, but he's excused...simply because he was more than willing to take a pic with your girl!

Oh and DC's finest, "The R&B Hippie NeoSoul RockStar", Raheem Devaughn was in the building looking rather dapper. LOVE(S) the shades!

It was more than a pleasure to mix and mingle with a plethora of Black businessmen and women, entrepreneurs and local party goers.

To top it off, University of MD alum and DC's very own DJ Alizay maintained crowd energy with the bangin' (pardon my vernacular) hits!

While it was a delight to see a lot of familiar faces...

...and new faces...

I was particularly excited to run into "Onyx" (yes, the one from I Love NY) who was very friendly, even after I thought he was Caron Butler...OOPS! :)

I asked one party goer how they were enjoying the event and she replied, "It's amazing to see so many of us come out to have a great time...I'm very proud of Avenue Report and I wish them much success!"

All in all, no complaints...

Special thanks to Ra-Fael Blanco, the VP Media Relations of 2R's Entertainment & Media, Inc. for allowing me to bring a friend ;)  Congrats to a successful night!

Happy Birthday Russ Parr!

Tomorrow night (4.11.08), Russ Parr, our favorite morning radio host is celebrating his birthday at Ibiza nightclub (1222 First Street NE). We all luv Russ and I wish him a wonderful birthday with many more to come.

Other special guests include Fred Smoot (Redskins), Jeff Blacksheer (Ravens), Lil Mo (who will be singing a special song to the birthday boy) and a special performance by Ryan Leslie who I think I just developed a crush on (because of his song Valentine).
