Welcome to the Party Life

This past weekend I was privileged enough to attend T.I.'s private party at the Biltmore Hotel saturday night. For somebody that is not impressed by celebrity appearances and "industry" events I was thoroughly pleased with this one. The first thing that stuck out to me was the dress code which did not allow guys to wear jeans. When I heard that I knew what kind of night it would be. The entire bottom floor of the Biltmore was rented out for the party. That space included the Georgian Ballroom, the Imperial Ballroom, the lobby, and two bar areas. By the way I did my research and it cost about $20,000 just to rent the spot out. Now what would a celebrity party be without free drinks? Of course it was a Patron Tequila open bar (my favorite part). The scenery of the Biltmore is already very impressive to add to that there were about 20 girls with colonial-style whigs and outfits (of course the dresses were short). There were also topless painted models that walked through the crowd. As the night went on I was able to briefly speak to many of the people in attendance. Most people agreed that they were enjoying themselves (some a little too much than others) hint hint the bar. lol. I did have the opportunity to run into a friend of mine David Ratchford, fashion designer for Navier clothing line. He did mention that he has a shoe coming out soon so be on the lookout for that. I also spoke with the owner of DBS sounds, D. Tobago Benito. He said that he was really enjoying himself and that the night was about people gathering, having a good time, and celebrating success". The most interesting conversation I had Saturday night was with three young ladies, Porsha, Aladora, and Alyssa from Pine Bluff, Arkansas. They won a contest at their local radio station, 96.5. The told that they flew in on Friday and were leaving Sunday morning. They seemed to not like the idea that the radio station sent them to Six Flags like they were kids or something. lol. All in all they told me they really liked Atlanta and were really enjoying the party. Often times at events like these you don't really get to know people. The conversation normally goes like this "I'm such and such and do blah blah blah for who know you". A lot of "industry talk" and people hyping themselves up. The three young ladies from Arkansas were genuine and sincere in the 5 or 10 min that I did speak with them. So I would like to thank Porsha, Alyssa, and Aladora for being the "realest people in the room".
