VIP Status

After I dropped another $50 on records on Saturday, I get the phone call. BAM! Party tonight baby!

Now I know parties are a little out of style, but I said cool and I went along - got changed and headed out.

Pre-drinks were at Kona, then Jamaican Blue, then Dos Gringos. It was here where I found out this was no... ordinary party that I'm getting access to. This was a VIP, invitation-only party for the Phoenix Suns and friends. Hosted by none other than the great Jamie Foxx, DJed by Steve Levine, and the headliner performance given by - wait for it - Naughty by Nature. What? Naughty by Nature? Are you kidding me? Jamie Foxx is great, but... Naughty by Nature? A couple of has been's I say, but I do love some of their songs so hey, who cares I'm gonna have a good time anyway!

As soon as we got to the Venue in Scottsdale, we did a lap downstairs, then made our way to the VIP lounge upstairs. Wow, faces like Dean Kain, Frankie Mundos, and Brian McKnight were up there, as well as Jamie Foxx and some of the Suns were hanging out by the XBox's set up in the back. Press was everywhere, and as soon as I got upstairs they closed it off to press only. Now we're talkin. Press, VIPs, and me - a no-named person that just everyone is wondering who I am.

So what did I do? I name dropped the shit outta myself! Come on now how many up-and-comers get a chance to talk with superstars like Brian McKnight, huh? So after a few, "yeah I'm a DJ myself..." and of course "Well I'm also a singer, and an actor, sooo..." I grabbed a few free VIP drinks and headed back downstairs.

Downstairs I popped a squat at a table right by the stage, with a couple beauties I met at Dos. That was funny too, I go to Dos and met two women that were going to the same invite only party as me? Wierd...

But Jamie Foxx came out and got the party started. Naughty by Nature was good, I stayed for a couple of their good ones and then I took off. I think that party made up for the fact that I didn't have much of a new years, eh?

Besides I got laid for the first time in... Jesus I won't even go there.
