GOOD SUNDAY MORNING my great LIFESTYLE ACHIEVERS!
Wow! Last night’s adventure at the Vanguard’s Deep party featuring Frankie Knuckles that we discussed on Facebook last night was….ENERGIZING!!!! Frankie did it again. Tony Powell from Los Angeles brought it too people!! Wow, yeas, I was impressed too. It was three rooms of varying styles of House Music with 5 different DJs plus an outdoor patio playing some “cocktail house” with heat lamps because for Los Angeles, 48 degrees can be a bit cold to some. The music was good! However, it wasn’t the hard, DEEP, gut bucket house like I experience in Chicago, underground Paris, France, or
South Beach Miami during the Music Festival, but it was still good. He even pulled out some Sylvester! Yes he did! Hahaha!!!
If you show up at a party and you are NOT on the VIP list AND want to mingle in the VIP section, there are ways to get in whether you fit in or not. I do not believe in “fake it till you make it” because…….That’s right, I am always making it happen for me, you and a few others. Now, upon arrival to deep, I was immediately approached and complemented by my NEW associate as of today, by the name of Shaleese (Sha – lease). After being reeled in by Shaleese, she was so taken by me that she offerded to buy her now NEW man associate a drink. We proceeded to the bar. I spotted what looked like VIP on the stage. I told Shaleese to follow my lead, we are going on stage to see Frankie Knuckles. NOTE: when network crashing a party, VIP, etc. ALWAYS take an accomplice, if possible, so that in the event you mess it up, you got someone to share in the spotlight of embarrassment…lol. I told her, to just act like we are suppose to be on stage….BOOOM!!!! we bypassed ALL security and was under the “DEEP” lights.
MORAL OF THE STORY – Networking is something you will NOT be able to bypass if you plan to expand your professional and personal relationships. Take chances and if possible someone along with you. I didn’t know Shaleese until I stepped into the function. If you act like you belong and believe you belong, no matter what the situation, and execute properly, you can get in and that is where you fit in at that time. Genuinely network people. Remember, those same people you see going up, you will see those same people when you are going down. Will they stop you and bring you along or will they pass you by? Okay, read on……. back at the party……..
LADIES – It’s okay to wear sequence to a House Music party event or anywhere for that matter as LONG AS YOU ARE REALLY LETTING THE PUBLIC HAVE IT. However, BE SURE THAT IT IS NOT A MATTED TEXTURE. For night time and night clubbing, wear the good, reflective sequence that sparkles whether you are in the light or not. I’m just saying that the gold, matted sequence, strapless (non sweetheart) dress you were gyrating around in last night DID NOT SPARKLE IN THE DARK NOR THE LIGHT!
GENTLEMEN – When a lady (or man) expresses to you that they don’t want to dance with you and you are at an event that is bumping out the house music beats, don’t get mad, frowning up, and calling that person names that they probably can’t hear or understand due to the music taking over their soul, just play it off and groove to the grind of the beat and keep it pushing! House music is so soulful and spiritual that you don’t need a dance partner…especially when Frankie Knuckles is staging!!! Dude, it’s okay, you can come to the next function and get it right…especially if you pay your $20 cover charge.
Now that those tips are out of the way and I have updated you on last nights galavanting , I am on my way to West Angeles Church of God In Christ to thank the creator that I woke up this morning and He started me on my day!
