I had a chance to hang out with the fine folks from Flud Watches yesterday, at one of their winter launch parties. They actually had 3 of them at three different locations last night. These guys know how to celebrate. Hahaha. They have some really cool designs, including my favorite, the turntable watch.
The first party (the one the I attended) was at a new club on Reade Street called Mocca Lounge. The place was hot. I loved these ball chain curtains that they had.
Saturday afternoon, I spent in Brooklyn getting to know a band called Game Rebellion. We shot at local clothing co./shop in Williamsburg called Freshthetic. It was a lot of fun. They had some of their jams pumping through the sound system while we were shooting. It was pretty cool stuff. They have an EP coming out soon, with a listening party coming up on the 16th. Look for my introductory piece featuring Game Rebellion, in SoJones.
Monday night was the “Hip Hop Unity Fest” at the Imperial NYC in honor of Mike Beck. Mike Beck was a producer who was killed as an innocent bystander to urban violence. The party was DJed by Kayslay. 50 was also playing that night, to celebrate the release of his new album. I was kind of hoping that he would show up to the party. He never did, while I was there.
JM Magazine had its launch party last night at La Pomme, in Chelsea. The venue was just the right size, and it was a great party. There was a pretty good mix of models, musicians and other industry peeps, who made appearances.
Coco, was hosting the party, since she will is on the upcoming issue. Since she was there, you know that the hubby made an appearance also. I’m referring, of course to Ice T.
Tyson Beckford was also in attendance.
The inside of the venue was all light up in red. It was sick.
