If you're an outta' towner lookin' for the spot where the locals hang, go strait to The Avenue (649 New York Ave. NW). If this place ain't ghetto...Raheem DaVaughn along with Taraji Henson, the homechick from Hustle & Flow (and every other black movie) will be in the place.

Try to sneak to the third floor...it's the only acceptable floor.

Erykah Badu is makin' her way back to the District for HU's Homecoming. She'll be at Liv (2001 11th St. NW) for their "True School Hip Hop Party" where they're playing only the top hits from Hip Hop over the years...hmm, sounds very familiar to another party I went to at Mai Thai. hmm, whatev.

All you MD alumni who are skipping the actual football game (why is the game at 8 PM?!) go see my ex-favorite singer Keyshia Cole and my other baby father, LL Cool J at H20 (800 Water Street). I'm so very proud of Abdul for his lineup for homecoming! Snaps for him.

p.s. In case anyone cared why Keyshia is my ex-fav singer...well, she just been real flat lately...did y'all see her at the VH1 Hip Hop Honors and I can't forget what she did to the Big Fat Morning Show on 92Q FM in Baltimore. Humph!

You know there's more...but I'll keep you waiting. ;-) Yes, I'ma' tease.

Cafe Asia (1720 Eye Street NW) refused to miss out on all the Howard festivities...honey, can we STOP with all the Kanye references in promotional material? It's getting annoying.

But beware: Last time I went here it looked like a grown up Platinum. The theme for Cafe Asia parties should be: "I'm so hooooood!" LIS-TEN!

If you don't want to pull out your cocktail dress and heels go to Felix (2406 18th St. NW) for their Howard Homecoming Reunion party. I celebrated my 22nd birthday here yesterday and I absolutely LOVE this place.

Chill on the 2nd floor with it's chic white couches...the DJ will let you dance with him too! ;-) I love, love, love Felix! It's very "bar meets lounge chic"!
