8/31 Chicago Nation Party @ The Berlin - Thank You's!

There were rumors that this month's Chicago Nation Party at the Berlin Night Club celebrating the release of the Live at the Aladdin DVD was gonna be off the chain, so my expectations were high! But never in my wildest dreams did I ever believe my expectations would be surpassed the way they were last night!! The 8/31/03 Chicago Nation Party at the Berlin Night Club was a party of Epic Proportions! When "Babydancer" rang my cell and said, "DAMN, it's wall to wall up in this piece!", I knew something was up!! I couldn't even find a parking spot near the club... I have never had that problem before!!

I don't think I have EVER been to a set that live!!! The club was PACKED JOINT TO JOINT early and stayed that way until the last jam was played at approximately 3:45 this morning!!! Filing out of the club, everybody agreed that we needed an AFTERPARTY to go to!! Samnation did the most phenomenal job of DJ'ing that I can recall in recent memory! And when he played the 1+1+1+3/Love Rollercoaster/Housequake portion of the dvd, the place went wild!! All the Purpleheads in the house showed me some mad love for being prominently featured during that medley! The out-of-towners were all OVA the place and newbies were also in the house, as well as all the longtime Berlin regulars!! Some transplanted regulars even came back... Jason, it was great having you home again, man! You are my BOY!!!

I just wanna thank EVERYONE who came out and took a bite of the Purple Rock last night at Berlin!! Much love especially to Tim from Cincinnati, KDowney from AZ, "Prince Lover" from Cali, John in WI (thanks for the drinks, man!), "Younca" and my peeps who came from NYC!!! Big props to all the NPGMC Conference Roomers (Bootyfunk, Maiya, EC), all the regular heads, Marcus, Nikki, Dre', Julian, Motley, Dawn, Bianca, Sammy... y'all know who you are!

And very special love grouphug to my crew who partied down to the ground - Roxy, April, Ree-Ree "Biff" & my cuz, Romie!

Daaayuuum that party was Live!!! clapping headbang clapping headbang

Redz, We had a party here in NYC too and it was off the hook. The MJ vs. Prince semi-annual party was hot. Me, Utopia7, NuPwrSoul and Zeinabau danced til 3:55am when "Adore" ended the last Prince set. Can u say sweat?

It was great to meet KDowney and a pleasure as always to bask in the fabulousness of Julian and RedZRyder, and it was a treat meeting new folks like RoseDawn and the young woman we met who came all the way from North Carolina to play with us (I know you're both lurking...come out, come out, wherever you are!!!)...of course, having TheBlueAngel in the house was a true delight, and I couldn't imagine showing up at Berlin without Stymie and Youngca being there - it would simply be unnatural.

Oh, and the music wasn't half bad either...as what's left of my hideously sore legs can attest. What the hell, it was worth it...!

I think this was the first time I've closed a bar since moving to Chicago two and a half years ago, and the craziest part of it was, it was still packed when the lights came up!

'til next month...smile

TruthBTold... you don't need my autograph touched ... cuz you got ME, sista!!

Even though we didn't have any MN flava in the house Sunday night, we still represented like ME~N~U apolis FREE 2045 would have wanted us to!


And to be honest TruthBTold, had we seen you, Ricco or any of the heads from MN or Detroit walk through that door, me & April probably would have lost All Control! nutty ... Not that we had much to begin with anyway on Sunday night!

Damn!!! Me and some friends have wanted to come party there for sooo long, but we're only 19. We haven't even bothered to try and get in. Does anyone think they would let us??? (By the way, we all look at least 23)
