Pretty low key for the summer even after the kick ass Funky Buddha event, I am sure many thought we weren't doing it anymore. Not true...we were blessed with becoming friends with the one and only Twilite Tone. So August 17th was definitely the @&%$ kicking it at Friday Nite Jam.

 

Kitchen Sink @ Buddha Lounge

        

If you don't know D-Win and The Rocketeers, then I don't know what to tell you. August 2nd proved to be the night at Kitchen Sink with the performances by D-Win and The Rocketeers. The energy was high and the music dope. For those of you who missed...keep your ears open maybe you get a second chance.

WHO SAYS CHICAGO DOESN'T HAVE FASHION?

March 2nd the fashionable came out to play. Casa De Soul provided the beautiful clothes that helped make this event happen. Of course it was definitely still cold outside, what can we say this is Chicago. Many thanks to everyone that braved the wind and snow to show up and party with us. Thanks to the models, Casa De Soul, the crowd and venue.

 

THE LOVE WAS DEFINITELY NOT OVER AFTER VALENTINE'S DAY ON FEBRUARY 16, 2007...

WHERE WERE YOU ON OCTOBER 28, 2006?

Saturday October 28th was our first party. We would like to thank everyone who came by and be sure to stay posted as there will be more events to come . It's good when you are shown support rather than having people try to bring you down. Also considering that weekend was a big for all halloween type of events. We got a chance to meet some really cool and interesting people with like minds. Very cool.
