It's party time, whoa it's party time...having a party....c'mon! (note: official, saga-certified hip-hop card to anyone who can identify the song mentioned above, the artist, his residence, and his blowuptuated hip-hop family member...)
Meanwhile, the weekend started really early, and ended really late....
- theFrenzy:: last-minute party preparations had me in PJ's and slippers until well past the 7PM start time. However...
- C'monInLikeFolks, shawty: my good friends V & B came in, set up the bar, finished cooking, etc...etc. so I could beautify. aside:: they were drinking the whole time, which is probably why things came out so well...lol. We all got a lil tore up before folks even really got there...
- Hey DJ, just play that song:: my good friend EJ, whom I love SO dearly, made me some mix cd's - ole skool as only he can do it. Despite some crowd intervention (keep yo hands OFF my music, m'kay?) the music was the bomb! Oh yeah, did I mention how much I love him?
- Please won't you be, my neighbor?:: I met several of my new neighbors, and they also came in the door like folks, and hung out with my friends, and mixed and mingled. I love my new neighborhood!
- theHookups:: surprise! Ok, even though when I was planning, I thought to myself: single male friends + single female friends = hookups, the hookups didn't happen nearly the way I would've imagined. I believe Cupid drank some of the rum punch!!!
- theJig:: was me & B doing the Samba to Sergio Mendes...or maybe it was me & V doing the Running Man to Lauren Hill. or maybe Ed and Sharon dancing to some Snap Music? I'm having a hard time remembering....lol.
- theFood:: bourghetto hors d'oeuvres. Tapenade, bruschetta, and the like, but the hit of the night was some fritattas that had an aphrodisiac quality when combined with...
- theDrinks:: although my bar was pretty stocked, the rumPunch B made was off-da-dayum chain. So much so that some attendees are STILL feelings it's effects....
- theMerriment:: so, about 25-30 people stopped by, and showed me a whole LOT of love, and I truly, truly TRULY appreciated it. I had an absolute ball, for real.
- off-the-chain moment:: So, the women left early, and it's me, theChaos, my friend K and about 7-8 single drunken attractive guys - so of course the conversation somehow landed on the topic of....you guessed it. I can't quote the whole conversation, or drop names - but I can honestly say that there were midgets involved. I love men, because they're completely in touch with their particular brand of insanity.
- juicyBlogGossip:: There were several bloggers in attendance: EJ, Favenite, DJ Poet and Will (if only in spirit). I slept with an infamous blogger, who shall remain nameless. However, we both slept with all our clothes on, and he actually slept on the couch....okokok, nothing really that juicy happened, but that's the closest I've come to actually having sex in months. Dayum.
- breakfastWithBloggers:: had breakfast with some bloggers the next morning, at Thumbs Up II -the East Point remix. The food was good, but somehow, I missed the lengthy wait.
- theVolunteerism:: took my mentee to see Sunday's Hawks vs. Magic game. Hawks won by a point in OT, and my mentee thoroughly enjoyed herself.
I'm eggs-friggin-zausted! EJ also served as the unofficial party photographer, so as soon as he posts pics, I'll post pic. Also, there's enuff leftovers for the afterparty this weekend - holla at yo girl!
Thanks y'all - I had fun too!
@Singing - wish you coulda been there. As Fave mentioned, there was a whole lotta testosterone in the house....lol.
@Will - ok, your card is in the mail. It's Tracey Lee's "The Theme", he's from Buffalo, and his cuz is Busta Rhymes (wonder if he still claims him...hm...)
@Fave - aw shucks shawty, I'm so glad you came through. You know you're like fam, and so is...
@EJ - and thanks for the music shawty. I gotta rob you for that V though, that joint is HOT.
The party was very g&s with a touch of immature, testoterone-driven fun. Sometimes it's just better to hang out with friends than be up in somebody's club trying to dance & "hookup" with people with the purpose of just hookin' up. Romance is brievity while friendship is longevity. This party embodied the latter. Thanks again 4 inviting me.
that made my weekend, and i'm glad i came by. that rum punch though...woooo...... and the photos are comin'.
I am so glad you had a great time!!
Tracey Lee is the artist. I remember that song. Can't recall right now who he was related to, though. Hmmmm ... I'ma get right on that. :)
And as for your party, I really, really, really wish I could've been there in person. It sounded off the chain on the phone. LOL And after that description, DAMN YOU SOUTHWEST for not flying into Atlanta!!!
OK, I'm done. And glad you had such a great turnout. If you get EJ to do what you said, I will definitely work it out and be there. Promise. LOL
