Sunday Amo and Apple from the Black Eyed Peas attended 1Oak. The night started slow. I was beginning to get worried about the Sunday party as the bouncers were always saying the party is the worst night of the week, but after last night it’s the beginning of the end of people talking like that. The venue was packed like a normal 1Oak night by 1 am. Everyone always comes late to 1Oak and solely 1Oak. 1Oak is notorious for getting good late night and it’s natural for it to be dead earlier in the night. So guys, don’t go early.

The DJ was playing Black Eyed Peas’ music and the table they were chilling at was going off the chain. I think they came with a female promoter named Madi because she came outside to get them and then were at her table. I thought Fergie and WILL I AM were there but I was wrong. It was just Amo and Apple. They left the venue with a large group of girls to go and do the groupie after party thing. Imagine they had a blast. Braylon Edwards (the Jets player) was there at 1Oak last night also. He left earlier in the night, I assume because they were not playing enough Hip Hop. Sadly, they don’t play all Hip Hop, they mix in trance.

Sundays Juliet has a party going now. Heard it wasn’t packed but wasn’t empty – just in between. But hey Sunday 1Oak party wasn’t ram packed the first night either, you know? Things take time.

For Thanksgiving Eve I am selling tickets for STK, so anyone interested let me know.

Last Saturday Samantha Ronson (Lindsay Lohan’s ex) was DJing at Quo. Did anyone see Lohan there?
Friday night I heard WILL I AM was at Pacha, but also supposedly at Hudson Terrace also. (They had to perform on SNL, so that’s why they are in town).

Last Thursday, Justin Timberlake’s artist he’s producing called Esmee performed. This was sad. The song is actually really good but it seemed a little inappropriate for the club environment. That night at Tenjune however, was crazy packed. Tenjune Thursdays may not be the models models anymore but it’s still packed with good energy and very good looking crowd (for you EMM haters).

Oh and the scoop on Wednesdays at La Pomme. It was so sexyyyyyyy of a crowd last Wednesday. 1Oak was dead as a result of a lot of the models going to La Pomme last Wednesday. I am friends with most of the 1Oak promoters. Ask them how last Wednesday was…Dead. Sad though that Wednesday party no longer exists 

Monday night at Marquee was sizzling hot with madness and celebrities. Ahmad and J Rosenblum are throwing huge events there. Last night was the official album release party for Wale (who sings that song ‘chillin’ with Lady GaGa). The celebs I saw:

Wale
Selita Ebanks (Victoria Secret Model)
Dwight Freeney (defensive Colts player)
Serena Williams (if you don’t know who she is, can’t help you:)
Barack Obama (haha just kidding, wish he was there though so I could get his autograph)
Mark Ronson (famous DJ)

The door was packed, the line long, and tons of beautiful women inside. Then celebs celebs celebs. I’m going to work on figuring out the names of American football and basketball players because it would make this all more interesting. I discovered Dwight Freeney, one of the best defensive football players in the NFL, was seated next to me at the end of the night. It was cool chit-chatting with him. When I asked him what he did, he had to tell me he played for the Colts. I had no idea!

I don’t want to elaborate too much on the number of bottles brought out by the waitresses that night but let’s just say there were a lot and they were large.

My goal is to try and do more celebrity events and find my niche promotion – ideally a mixture between a filler promoter and bringing out pretty girls. Any celebrity events you guys hear about, let me know.

Ron Brownz, the guy who sings “gimme 20$” and “pop champagne” and some other good rap songs, will be at La Pomme Wednesday. Come and let me know if you’re attending. Some other celebrity parties are in the works. Give me time. My goal’s to make it happen Monday through Wednesday celebrity parties and Thursday through Sunday some nice, higher-end venues.

Sunday night at 1Oak it was supposed to be the movie premiere after party for a film called “The Messenger.” Woody Harrelson was supposed to be in attendance, but I didn’t see him. There were billboards set up but the celebs were a no show. In the beginning, I was worried that this Sunday party would turn out to be a failure, but the crowd is slowly but surely getting better and better each time (I am making it sound like the crowd isn’t good but it really is, but just not up to the real 1Oak’s par as of yet. However, huge progress girls/guys told me). Had a blast!

Sunday Jude Law was at Tenjune, ladies. Now don’t you wish you didn’t stay in to cuddle with your boyfriend on the couch?! Hehe. I went to Tenjune late night to speak with a business associate, and the ceilings of Tenjune had white drapes and hanging chandeliers. It looked stupendous, but I don’t know how long they plan to keep the decorations for…

Friday I was at Johnny Utah’s. This place isn’t your usual club party. It’s more for people who are into bars and don’t want to deal with door trouble or paying cover. It’s the in-between corporate or PR girl type of crowd looking to have a beer and a laugh instead of champagne (which we actually get at the promo tables…huh). Friday I myself was actually in awe. When the emcee came on and started hyping the crowd, the DJ hitting some hip hop music, the crowd went absolutely insane. The emcee had to fend off people fighting to ride the infamous Johnny Utah mechanical bull. That’s what you call a successful night. Now what needs to happen is to bring that same energy to Mondays at  Johnny Utah’s. Let’s see how it goes this Monday.

Right after Johnny Utah’s, I took my crew down to Citrine since the owner David R. had asked me to come check it out. He runs a corporation called the Impulse Group. They’re basically are similar to Strategic Group (Noah Tepperberg for Marquee and Avenue) but not as potent. Impulse has under its wing the nightclub Citrine, Puffy’s Tavern, and just recently Johnny Utah’s…that’s a little inside scoop for you non-clubbers. Citrine had a good-looking crowd. The doormen Spencer and Han are from the good ole’ ClimaxVIP.com (very good guys that are very serious about the nightlife business and to me, very trustworthy people). Citrine charges a cover now. That’s news to me ever, and I used to work there on Thursdays some time ago.

We stayed at Citrine only an hour and a half and then went to Simyone the new EMM group spot (Mark Birnbaum Eugene Remm-I think Simyone is the name of Eugene’s Grandfather, hence the new name of the club. Those two always have some interesting reason for naming their clubs.) Obviously, they moved Alex Julian from Tenjune and now have him running the door at the old Lotus (aka the new Simyone). A lot of hot girls and good-looking guys here, then also the average looking guys that are friends with the owners of course and spend a lot of money. All of the who’s who was there etc., the usual BS for a brand new club when opening. Ellington Keys (as I mentioned before) is the # 1 model promoter. I saw him at Simyone with all his models and his partner Isaih (not sure if that spelling is correct). These are the guys who have taken the crown of being able to bring out ONLY MODELS. The Tenjune staff came through late night to chill out at  their new home. Tyson Beckford told me he loves the spot, so I wanted to see how good it really was. Eugene Remm was spinning.

The lowdown on the Simyone layout: You walk down some stairs after getting past the doorman. There’s some winding until you reach a long room. At the end of the room, is a doorway which then forms a “T.” Walking through this second doorway you can look left and right and there is another room filled with…tables (of course). On the walls in this room are funny-enough photographs of X-Rays, and when the colorful lighting passes behind it you can actually see the X-Ray. Then, they vanish. The ceiling’s low with a lot of color, while at the same time floor is black and roof is black.

I will have more information on La Pomme for you. I think I might stay on this Thursday to try it out again. I personally hope it’s more full this Thursday, because the venue itself is phenomenal.

I was one of three promoters at Thursday night’s Grand Opening of La Pomme, which wasn’t so grand from my point of view. From the look of the photos on Guest of a Guest, the pre-event seemed like it went really well. Probably less focus was placed on the actual night time party. My girls left early. Friday, however, a colleague of mine worked La Pomme and said it was a very good-looking crowd. Who knows; I have to take another look at this place. Boom Boom Room’s also a place I still have to visit.
