OMG Howard Homecoming Make It Stop!

I don't know how the rest of you District folk feel but I'm kinda' getting sick of Howard Homecoming already and the weekend isn't even here. All these outta' towners invading our city, thinkin' they're cute and toleratin' the fact that it's $40 to get into the club, when seriously...if they were throwing parties for college students they wouldn't be charging that much. It's crazy!

Still, I guess I'm tolerating the system by promoting these things:

I really need to go to Ozio's...last time I went it was alotta' fun. Since they moved to (1812) M Street, I haven't been. Still...I hear it has an upscale feel with a swanked out bar BUT no place to really chill, sit down and lounge.

The VIP floor is the best, of course, with faster service and more room to breathe. The 2nd floor is the dance floor but it still has tables for eating...which get all in the way.

I don't know, go see for yourself.

Still, sexy fine Tank will be at the Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill (400 New Jersey Ave NW). They got three different dance floors so this actually might be the jump off...or at least a place to meet one. ;-) (Bad joke?)

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.

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.

Tigger will be joining him on Saturday to celebrate the real HU. If you want to pay $20 for parking, $40 to get in and $40 to get right...go here. (boo, it's so not worth it)

So apparently, the owner of H20, Abdul must have an obsession with Fabo because he's bringing him back for Howard Homecoming. It's 18 and over tonight so like I always say check the ID before gettin' the digits.

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"!
