Sip On Sundays
*
Dearest Diary,
This past Sunday was the epitome
of a #Funday.
We did fabulous
at a new Venue in
Old Oakland.
Here's how it went down:
*
Shewtime,
Dj Vierra Vibe,
and I
put forth our
best team efforts
for at least two weeks prior
sending text messages, emails,
placing phone calls
& utlizing all social media avenues
to get the word out that we were giving
networking mixer
known as,
#SIP: The Sunday Social.
We recieved a very welcoming response
from all those we alerted
yet knew not what to expect on the day of
because as with any event
there are no gurantees
that people will actually show.
Nevertheless
on the day of I awoke with
excitement,
giddy as a piggy kiddy in a candy store
and immediately went into
proper hostess mode.
I did my final round of
reminder text messages,
approximately one tweet,
and an
and then dressed myself for the day.
*
A Light spring dress
with a plunging neckline
and ice cream cone print
paired with a nude heel
that host a gold tip
felt like perfection for me
and so that's what I went with.
*
The weather set the perfect tone
from the jump.
An agreeable 73 degrees or so
of pure & enticing sunshine.
Tree lined streets twinkled
and the sun bounced beam for beam
off of
Classic Downtown Oakland Architecture
all of which was viewable from
811 Washington St.
Where we stood
inside of the sun soaked
brick and white walls of
*
There we escorted in
snack platters
brimming with
fresh fruit, sushi, olives,
cheese & crackers,
and sweet like things
such as macaroons and brownies
all of which pleaded for patrons attention
from two properly dressed tables
in a far corner of the chic setting.
*
3pm was the start time,
Vierra
warmed the room with
her endearing
dj vibe
and so it began...
*
Little by little
small attractive packs
of well dressed, good looking
invitees and non-invitees alike
trickled in
to fill up the room
and make their contribution
to the positive energy
that surged throughout the venue
in it's entirety.
Not a shy being in the place
so it seemed,
as I floated through the crowd
with various divine cocktails
in hand, chatting
with as many lovely faces as I could.
The entire crowd
mixed well and mingled freely
as if we'd all been summoned
to this one place
under the pretense of
simply making the day
as incredible as possible
for both ourselves and each other.
*
Prosecco was poured
and lemon drops were enjoyed
by
doll faced women
in fashionable attire
while more masculine like mixes
of whiskey & cola
rested in the hands of
handsome gentlemen.
*
Lexx Jonez
brought his best
when he hopped on
to spin a few sets
throughout the day
as did my ever amazing DJ
@DCisChillin
and then there was that blessing
of about a
45 minutes musical set by
Mr. Big Von
himself
who came through with
DJ Shazbazz
& Shabazz's
Fabulous Fashionista
of a
Girlfriend
*
Instagram was set ablaze
acting as a
#LIVE newsfeed
with various images & videos
of all the real time action taking place,
which only contributed to the growth of the crowd
that eventually spilled over onto the Washington street sidewalk.
*
The event was set to come to a close at
8PM
but being that
we weren't doing things during
average club hours
we were able to extend that to about
8:45pm.
*
At that time
security ushered all of our guest out,
as the guest pleaded
for us to keep them posted on the next one,
we happily complied and bid them all adieu.
*
This by far is
the best thing
Oakland's seen
in a great while
and we've found that day parties
are just the event platform
that we've been looking for while
Parliament
is just the venue
we've been wishing on stars for.
The ideal place for me to come alive as....
The Perfect Hostess.
