Tanya Morgan "BROOKLYNATI" Listening Party...

@MikeyMcFly and I met up and attended the @TanyaMorgan "Brooklynati" listening party this past Friday night (8 May 2009) at Fresh Melt Water. It was an interesting, crazy, hectic night...but we all pulled through and did the damn thing! Got to vibe w/ the group, their DJ, management...met a lot of cool people that night and hopefully we'll have the opportunity to do it again sometime...not to mention I put them on to one of the BEST cheesesteak spots in Philly - Larry's - and they all loved it!



Fresh Melt Water is a cool spot in Northern Liberties...if you've never been down there you gotta check it out. They used to sell their stuff through other local stores, and now they have their very own spot. Cute tees, khakis, button-ups...all kinds of cool clothes and dope stuff to offer here.

Mikey and I were wondering how much dinero it would cost to actually live down there. It's a business park/shopping plaza/apartment complex all in one. There were 2 huge outdoor screens in the Piazza, tables and benches, a stage...it was crazy clean and so cool. Most of the shops were closed, but I went across the street to an intimate martini bar on 2nd St. and had a strawberry/pomegranate martini before the band arrived... w/ a crazy chick named Angie (SHE is another whole blog in itself...another day, just not today, lol) I had met that night. On 2nd thought, considering discretion is a must and groupies are no fun if the homies can't have none, maybe I won't blog about her after all. I'm gonna confer w/ Mikey on this one.

After the listening party and chillin' @ my crib in West Philly for a minute (I have NEVER had so many people in my crib at once!), we all headed downtown to a Paper-Street party @ Time on 13th & Sansom. If you're not down w/ Paper-Street, you're not down w/ the right people. Tommy is Paper-Street and he has a website, Facebook, MySpace and he's on Twitter. Add him, follow him, get to know him...he throws some of the best parties in Philly and he's just a very down-to-earth cool person to know.

Anyhoo, "Brooklynati" drops this Tuesday, May 12th...make sure to grab a copy and support good music from some great guys! I got mine :) Signed, sealed and delivered...and check out the insert in the CD when you get that. These dudes are genius.
