What's Going On?

DJ Ed Blammo will be spinning and mixing his Solid Good Times dance party at the infamous ML, and he usually gets the night started around 10pm.  If you can brave the ML, it's the perfect way to get your dance on a little earlier in the evening before moving on to the next destination.  Solid!

Coat Check Redemption

Well, well, well, it is about time!  After 3 calls (2 sober, 1 drunk) to Whisper regarding my "missing" coat, I finally received a call back and even a follow-up text!  In between providing me with several apologies, I had learned that not only did my coat go missing but so did the rude coat check girl (aka, she was fired). They also told me my coat was never found :(  Sad, I know, as it was the perfect black velvet blazer for going out.  However, they heard the sadness in my voice ;) and greatly made up for my losses.  Mr. Whisper gave me his personal number and informed me that the next time my friends and I felt like coming to Whisper, all I needed to do was ring him up and all expenses would be paid for us (including coat check).  Success!  Now, who wants to Party??

Solid Good Tunes

Ooh, Thanksgiving!  Four awesome/exhausting/magical days of doing absolutely nothing but eating/drinking/sleeping/drinking/watching snow fall.  Whether I was dealing with Red Heads with Ponytails/Asian mobs/Taxi threats/one too many shots of Tequila, it was a superb time, and I was mostly superbly intoxicated for it all.  BUT, the absolute highlight of the long weekend was dancing to DJ Ed Blammo's, Solid Good Times, at Medusa Lounge...Gasp!!  I know, I know...I had never dreamed of stepping foot into the infamous ML, but I was drunk enough/it was a friend's bday/I was intrigued by the stories, take your pick, and I went.  And, I am so glad I did.  Despite the red carpeted walls or the windows covered with trash bags or the bathroom doors that don't lock (and no mirrors!!) or the weird, rubbery, vinyl floors or the extremely low ceilings littered with ripped dollar bills/graffiti/ you name it....okay, okay, I've made my point.....despite ALL of that (and more) Blammo's tunes were bumpin', the people were jumpin'(I don't understand how they avoid hitting their heads on those low, littered ceilings), and my head was literally thumpin'(for several days). DJ Ed Blammo also entertains his crowds at PYT and Barbary, and this Saturday night, he will be at Kung Fu Necktie for Ego Trip.  His tunes are diverse, great for dancing, and put you in an awesome mood.  I absolutely cannot wait to check him out again, wherever it may be.  And, although I wouldn't recommend hanging out at Medusa Lounge on just any old night, it is definitely worth going to, to check out this guy.

Whisper While You Work-It

A few weekends ago, my friends and I made some plans to have a GNO in CC.  We planned for dancing, one too many G&Ts (preferably free), and showing off our cute/short/new/shiny outfits;  checking-out Whisper Club (formerly, Denim) seemed like a great idea.  And, it was (for the most part...more on that later)!

Like most after-hours clubs, the crowd didn't get there until just after midnight.  We, however got there a little early, to scope out the scene and all of the in's and out's of the club.  Whisper is basically made up of one main dance floor, two mezzanine levels towards the back of the club which overlook the dance floor, and several bars on all levels (I believe I counted five, but that could also be the number of drinks I had).  The bartenders and bouncers were all super friendly; making strong drinks and willing to take pics.  The DJ was great, the crowd was enthusiastic and good-looking (we quickly made friends with a well-dressed Jay-Z look-alike), and dancing on random platforms was encouraged by all.  Overall, it was a fantastic time, until....Duhn, Duhn, Duhn....The Coat Check.

Unfortunately, my coat, which my friend paid their employees to look after, was lost/misplaced/stolen, still waiting for the details, by the end of the night.  A shrug of the shoulders, (not even a sorry) and "next in line" was what I received from the young "lady" after informing her of this loss.  Realizing, that she would be of no help whatsoever, I talked to the manager downstairs, and he very politely apologized and gave me his card and told me to call him in the next few days. And that is exactly what I did.  However, I am still waiting for a call back.  I will be very disappointed if this is how Whisper plans to treat their clientele, but I'm hopeful that they will make-up for it soon, and I will be DMAO there soon again!
