Was just reading the the report by Violet Brown over at the npgmc.




The 3121 Report: The Golden Globes (xcerpt)

A day and a half later of trying to equalize my sleeping pattern, I mused to the chef, "Do you think there will be a Golden Globes After Party? No one knew. I sat in the office and began to organize my work when I heard voices and phones ringing, "Get Charles from William Morris.. get that list now." "Who's in town for the Golden Globes? Get that list from Dvora". Oh no he didn't. Another two and half days notice! There's no way! Golden Globes is a serious thing. People plan that stuff MONTHS in advance. Again?

Monday night. 11pm sharp. Or rather, 10:57pm. TICHINA ARNOLD in an amazing Parisian chiffon sparkling sheath.. "Oh hello!" , she said, "CHRIS ROCK is right behind me, can you show him the way?" Why yes of course, I replied. Once Chris arrived, it seemed all of Hollywood followed. PETER JACKSON and his New Zealand clan, ADRIEN BRODY, SALMA HAYEK, MIA MAESTRO, PENELOPE CRUZ, TERRENCE HOWARD, BOTH FOXES, RICK AND JAMIE, EVA LONGORIA, NATALIE PORTMAN, JESSICA SIMPSON, MARIAH CAREY... hold on let me take a breath... CHRISTINA MILLIAN, TAYE DIGGS, ANANDA LEWIS, ALANIS MORRISETTE, COMMON, EVA MENDES, MARY J BLIGE, EDDIE MURPHY (AGAIN!), NAS AND KELIS, ERYKAH BADU and who knows who else! I mean -- seriously, Prince!

Thank goodness the house is, as one guest observed, a "palatial modern maze" and could accomodate hundreds more. Dj was bumping in the disco, Johnny Polanco and his salsa band jamming in the ballroom and classical music in the foyer. It was LIVE at 3121. There was so much activity in every room that I... (rest of story in the premiere issue of 3121 available in retail soon.)

WoW.. Guess there is going to be an ISSUE of 3121?


And you might want to read Pete Escovedo report on 3121

Hi Everyone,

This year has already started out with a bang: The biggest party of the year, Prince's Golden Globe Awards afterparty here in Los Angeles.

Prince threw a Salsa Party for all of the entertainers that were there, such as Jessica Simpson, Jamie Foxx, Chris Rock, Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, Ludacris, and many more. Everyone who was anyone was at this party.

Salsa band leader, Mr. Johnny Polanco, played with his Big Band Orchestra and every entertainer, actor, actress and performer was either up on the couches or on the dancefloor, no one was sitting down. The band grooved so hard that even Prince himself joined in and called my daughter Sheila and I to come up and play.

But, of course, the best part of the evening was to take a picture with the beautiful and talented, Salma Hayek - my favorite movie star. I think I died and went to heaven.

The party lasted all night until the sun came up and even then no one wanted to leave. It was a great and exciting party, all in one place, under one roof partying like there was no tomorrow.

I will post more news in the upcoming weeks, until then...

God Bless, be safe and keep real music alive. Thank you to all of my fans which have truly touched my heart. I appreciate you.

Musically Yours,

Pete Escovedo

Sweet!

another ill-fated npgmc fan publication!

Anxiety said:

LOL! I know! Who needs a magazine? I want a damn invite to the parties!!

TheCatWomen posting postive comments about any thing from the NPGMC? and acting excited about it?

thanx for the info TCW.

SexyBeautifulOne said:

they SHOULD do a podcast and offer it for free on NPGMC and for a small charge on iTunes. it would give another incentive for people to join the club and it would be a way to have a "magazine" with live music clips from the 3121 parties.

after all, weren't the "NPG ahdio" epidodes just early versions of podcasts?

Oh great. Another dumb font.

Anxiety said:

maybe that is what they're doing! wait...what's a podcast?

Anxiety said:

Oh I agree!! And I've suggested as much over at the club. VB's cool and all, but I don't want to READ her reports! I wanna see and hear what's going on for myself and get my own experience out of it. "I mean -- seriously, Prince!"

Shorty said:

it's kinda like a little radio broadcast, only it's pre-recorded and the idea is you download it on to your iPod or mp3 player and listen to it on the way to work or at work or whatever. it's an alternative to radio, usually for people who have specific interests.

damn...i hate the way this woman writes.

sosgemini said:

She sounds like she's going for a Hunter S. Thompson groove.

RodeoSchro said:

i was thinking she has more of a downtown julie brown groove myself, but...

eddie murphy groovin to prince tunes

Anxiety said:

These Violet Brown reports r always a frustrating read, I mean the name dropping of William Morris people, the chef and who's Dvora, whoooo cares get 2 the point. 4 the record I think Downtown Julie Brown could write better than this.

they must have put something in her drink

HST was a brilliant writer. This 'Violet Brown' is a strugglin' Dr.Seuss meets Princespeak via the 80's Julie Brown (as someone pointed out).

Or maybe its Esperanto?

I cannot get excited about this few and far between 'Oh look who can come to P's house, isn't he famous and fabulous?' dispatches.

Now, if he invited, you know, normal folks in for a viewing party of his new album? Yea, that would be cool. How many copies of your new album is Eddie Murphy going to buy? His boyfriend will probably illegally download it for him. Ha!

If he is such a spiritual creature, why does he care so much about having famous friends and throwing them parties?? Maybe he is talking to them about Jesus?

Something tells me no.

i'd be more excited reading a story about zelaira hanging out with prince than i would be about reading a story about jessica simpson and whoever-the-hell-else.

Anxiety said:

Oh yeah! I'd HAVE to read that story!!

Anxiety said:

ME TOO
although it might get a bit freaaky..

Definitely! I'd pay admission for that one. Famous people need each other makes sense.

sosgemini said:

She is not a professional journalist. She is just a fan who was able to get hooked up. It all in fun.

I can't seem to figure out why people get mad that he has celebrity parties...
creating a "buzz" is a smart move in my opinion...and we all know that a "buzz" begins and ends in hollywood.

Shorty said:

the parties are fine...i think it's the way they're being reported for the club that people are salty about.

laurarichardson said:

i know...and my comment stands...

Anxiety said:

there's many people who are like "why parties for celebrities" or "why not parties for regular people" and "who cares about celebrities" and shit like that. They way they are reported? via a report? hey...I'm not diggin' the writing style so much either..but sounds like sour grapes to me.
thanx for that podcast description btw

Shorty said:

yeah, guess you're right. i'm glad to see him mixing with other people finally - i'm sure this is a phase like everything else.
