Marquee was having a much bigger celebrity. I wanted to tell people early on who it was, but the managers said I couldn’t even hint at it. But let’s see, he plays a sport called “basketball,” he’s the best at it and he isn’t retired, he’s black, a rapper references him in songs, the aforementioned rapper was just on the VMA’s a few Sundays ago and did the finale performance. You do the math.

Guesses? Alternatively you can always just find out during the night. I’ll always keep you posted, just follow me on twitter.com/tnkg …

 

Mary J Blidge, Snapped Outside Marquee

Monday night I spotted model Anthony Gallo and Russell Simmons at Butter. Heard they had quite the good time. Richie Akiva (owner of Butter and 1Oak) is supposed to be celebrating his birthday this week. His colleagues are supposedly in charge of the celebration preparations…so keep your eyes and ears open for a legendary party most likely occurring sometime this week at 1Oak.

Meanwhile, I keep hearing about these smaller lounges that have opened and seem to have everyone buzzing. Su Casa, Cantina Latina, Roam and a bunch of others. Anyone who can tell me if they’re worth checking out, please do. People have asked me to work or set up parties at some of these places, but I have never been to any of them except Cantina Latina (which is very nice I might add). I found out that Shim is running Cantina Latina on Mondays and it apparently is a very very good looking venue. This Monday he did around 150 people. Girls were telling me it has that Socialista vibe. For those of you who don’t know, Socialista was a very exclusive yet different kind of party. Anyway, Shim is partners on 4K Entertainment. They do very good business.

A little information on the hot spot or most exclusive club in NYC right now…well, it’s called Avenue. They run the room differently there. Friends of mine tried to make reservations and were denied. Avenue doesn’t care HOW much money you are willing to spend (to a certain extent). They care more about WHOSE money they are receiving. For example, a gentleman I mentioned before by the name of Jho Lao (anyone correct me on spelling if I am wrong) within two weeks or so spent about 1 million in NYC nightlife. Avenue was one of the clubs he spent in, alongside Kiss and Fly and The Griffin.

Side notes: 1Oak will be running a new party on Sundays as Tenjune has been doing. A good friend of mine named Jimmy will be running the door. Opening night is Sunday Oct 4th
