BCTV: G-DAY from BCTV on Vimeo.

So my boy G. Vitte of LivElevated had a little beach party on Saturday...I don't remember getting that invite; but I was at Opera on Sunday. A good time had by all. Check out LivElevated, I'd say that's my rival in this LA blog realm. Me and G are into the same things: good music, good times, good places, good food and good people so it's only natural we support each others' sites and goals. So peep the video and know that G. Vitte is someone you should get to know in this city. Shouts to B from Broccoli City as well. Happy Bday to that man.

TK x SUPRA x ENTREE - TK's SIGNATURE SHOE RELEASE PARTY at CRIMSON

The folks of Premier Ent, MADE, Elevated LA & JL did a launch party at Crimson last Sunday for TK's new shoe by SUPRA.  I heard it was a fun night but I was busy on that family tip so things happen.  As I saw via Elevated LA, there were plenty of people I knew in attendance...dah well there will be more.  More pics over here.

Speaking of those UNI guys and that mixtape with Mick Boogie...there will be a listening party for it this Saturday.  If you have a contact with any of those companies on the flyer...you'd want to hit them up ASAP.  Special shouts out to Broccoli City & Elevated LA, and an extra special shout out to Weekend Warriors aka Bri & Desi.  If you didn't know Desi did the artwork!!!

ELEVATED LA x CLIMB

Click on this flyer to see it a little closer...but basically 2 of my favorite forward thinking young professionals are have a cool little mixer at Falcon in Hollywood tomorrow night (so much to do this week). G. Vitte or Elevated LA & Ken Billups of CLIMB are sure to get a lot of LA's young individuals, looking to make things happen in the world, together for a good time. So go by, have a drink, some food and have your business cards handy.

2NITE - MYHOUSE

Yeah so I told ya'll about this new spot, and 2Nite I'll be there in full effect for my folks opening night. Tuesdays will never be the same...from the same folks who bring you OperaCrimson on Sundays, so you know the drill: be fresh and know sum1 at the door.

Oh and shout out to Bri who I had to jack the flyer from since I deleted my email with the flyer inside.

THE WEEKEND

OKAY SO THIS IS WHAT U NEED TO DO: 2Nite go to Central, my girl Lindsay J is putting on a nice Red Carpet BET event at Central and/or visit Element for Gheren Vitte & Elevated LA's Holiday party.

Rest up and hit Dakota Live (the old Temple Bar in Santa Monica) and check out UNI...coming fresh off a plane from NYC (more on that later) and if you got pull like me head over to Entree after and party with Keri Hilson.

CROOKS & CASTLES x WEEKEND WARRIORS x BARON DAVIS HOMECOMING

Like I said...I'd have some pictures from this event...the more I see these pics the more I wish I went...but when you go to Opera|Crimson on a Sunday to party with Devrin, Milton & Gheren, you start to figure you won't miss anything if you stay home this time...I WAS WRONG.  Seeing all sorts of people you recognize, you realize how much fun you could've had.  You'll probably recognize some of these faces as there were many cool folks in attendance: Pacific Division, Diz Gibran, Ryan Leslie, The Mowry Twins, Ron Artest, Marcus Camby, Baron Davis, and more.  Go to Gheren's photo albums to see more.

Diz Gibran - illRoots Interview
