Let me play catch up....



The holidays are always filled with family, friends, food & fun!!!! I've been so busy covering events around town that I forgot to wish y'all a Happy Thanksgiving! Matter fact I've been soo busy that I haven't been posting the events that I've been covering. Shame on me :{ ) Any who Let me bring you up to speed!!!!!

Giggles & Chuckles @The Improv


Headliner's Donnell Rawlings "Ashy Larry" from The Dave Chappelle Show & The Wire.

(I have a hug fetish lol :)

Friends & Family from out of town. Co-Workers Chillaxin'.

Pic 1> Bling From B-Squared Entertainment & Donnivin from Hell Date Pic>2 If shoe's could talk these would say "Ready Attack!!!!" Poor guy in the tennis shoe's won't even know what hit em.
Pic 1>Candy Girl Pic 2> Sydnee, Taverse, Tamara. In my opinion THE BLVD is the new "Plan" on Sunday night's. I luuved the vibe inside people chillaxin' with friends and enjoying themselves, AND MOST OF ALL DANCING...by themselves with their girls, homeboys or all together on the dance floor! Last but not least enough SPACE to move or chill in the corner...to be seen or not to be seen!

Social Privy is a website that reports entertainment and social events. I didn't apply for the position of judge & jury...it's too big of a job for me to do...I'll leave that to someone else. Having said that... I was asked to photograph a DJ at the Swivel lounge friday Nov 28. I arrived 1 hour early to find another private event in progress. The ladies at the door were soo friendly they invited me inside to wait for my client. Being the nosey journalist that I am, I inquired on the event and was informed it was a 5 min speed dating.
K. Anntionette: You need to increase the time to 10 minutes because it takes a guy 5 minutes to even tell you his name. (all the while letting out a "girl you know what I mean chuckle.")
Ladies at the Door: (Awkard pause)
K. Anntionette: (Akward pause & then it hit me)
1 lady at the door: All "Women" need is 5 minutes to communicate.
K. Anntionette: OOOOHHHH!!!! I Get it!!! (Maybe I'm like a man too because it took me more then five minutes to fiqure it out :>)
It's always Black Friday @ The Spot

Usher presents Ladies Only One Night Stand @House Of Blues



My One Night Stand w/Usher



Usher is definately an entertainer...he knows how to put on a show but...I got to be honest (this is a blog right? This is myspace and aint' no one payin' me hush yo mouf $$$$$, soo I got to be honest...) "I" K. Anntionette, the journalist was not a happy camper. I'll just leave it at that for right now. So I had to switch roles into K Anntionette, the consumer. I was a lil' pissed off about the difference in price range of the tickets... Let's do Promotion's Algebra Shall we... House of Bluse occupancy is I'm not sure but I think about 1800 @ $150 a ticket is over $180,000 income. Artist w/band @ about I'm guessing for Grammy award winning veteran Usher about $50,000 + venue/staff, adverstising & marketing operational cost of House of Blues= x-z+y add 1...2...3... =what you can get away with on admission cost.


(per phone conversation) Box office lady on the Phone (in her most optimistic voice): "Tickets are $150. I have 1 seat left in the balcony but it's an obstructed view."


K. Anntionette (mental response) ???? Ok! Thanks! (mental response) Shiiddt!!!! Were supposedly in a economic recession. If I pay that price I'll be eatin' top raman noodles instead of Nit Noi pad thai noodles for lunch for about a week. I luv dining out soo, you know I wasn't going to be doing that. Plus I like Usher and everything but I'm more of a ol' school Usher girl... So when it comes to $15o a ticket... I'm like, Congrats on getting married & having a baby... I sincerely wish you the best, I really do!!! But... I ain't payin' nobodies child support unless they're my babies !!!!! Ladies One Only Night Stand my @$$!! Sound like somebody is pimpin' . Usher, would have to give me some of his DNA before I pay him $150 to "just" sing & dance. He's got to do lil more for me for that kind of paper, if you know what I mean & I ain't never paid for those services before & I ain't about to start now ;> )

I tried to do this the right way but in the spirit of an ol' Usher CD I'm going to have to do this MY WAY.


Ok!!!!! On the street tickets went for about $60 (so I thought to myself in my best N'walins' accent) ooohhh-yaaagh! Now, I just might pay that price for a one night stand with Usher at The House of Blues...But let me turn one mo' corner & see if I can find something better (I swear yall, I'm a lil too old to be going through all this for "Ursher" as my auntie would say. I wouldn't be going through all this if I didn't feel a "journalistic duty" to cover this show. I promise I would be somewhere sippin' on a glass of Merlot with Usher playing in my i-pod lol;> So I turned one good corner bumped into a old industry friend and ...BINGO!!! I'm in!!! That's more like it!!! (Sorry can't give away my "trade" secrets.) Good lookin' out Big Daddy & you know who you are!

Once inside The House of BLUE's "I" K. Anntionette, "the journalist" was so exhausted from the teasing, flirting, foreplay and walking those cold city streets to get my One Night Stand with Usher... I was a lil' over it... until about 30 to 45 minutes into the show when he did some of the older songs that's when I was reminded Why... "I" K. Anntionette "the music enthusiast" luv Usher Raymond "the ultimate performer".





People behind the scenes...

The hottie houston based Band member...The die hard fan & the background dancer diva in the Tux (right) & The sexy background vocalist with the punk-rock swagger

Ps: Usher I would've blogged about your new music, your performance etc. however due to circumstances beyond my control I wasn't given that kind of access. Therefore I had to write this from the consumer's point of view. But still...You were great!!!!


I'm sorry I'd to tell the truth;> K. Anntionette
