EVENT VIEWZ. I liked this party that was thrown by Dynasty Productions which consisted of Derrick Hibbler, Mike MciNtosh and Anthony Robinson. It was a bit hood but they had the free drank and the standard CMM (chicken, meatballs, mostacolli). Err body look like they had a good time. Many were in costume, and were not. From my understanding therre was su[pos eto be a Thriller Contest and a Twister Contest but those contests were not played or done. But it was still cool.




I was mostly tripped out the cleeeeeeeeeeeeeean copy of the flick that was playing in the living room that has yet to hit the Box Office (It set to open this weekend) Clean, not in the content but of its video quality TMP! YOURS TRULY was dressed in my "gi" (a black karate outfit) with a kente cloth of my college graduation sash wrapped around my waist like a belt. As the nite progressed, say around 1ish, the scene got to be a bit hedonist and puff puff pass, but it was late to check out Boone, Treanna and Jamie Spencer's Soul Stylz debut event, Zociac at Kitchen K, so I stayed on as long as I could until sleep and buzz took its told and I had to call it a nite.

FYI, Look at OUT 284 STL-TIDBITZ where I will tell you a BLIND ITEM from this event!

EVENT-VIEWZ. This was an interesting event this go round at socilaite Robert Kirk's monthly event at 609 under his company, Precision. What made it unique were the two things that happened. (ONE GOOD AND ONE BAD) The first was Marcus Jones, the father of Jena 6's Mychal Bell and Louisiana radio personality Tony Brown, who spearheaded the black radio frenzy for the march down to Jena 6 wa stherre to address the crowd about the Jena 6 Movement. It was definitely a Party with A Purpose from that moment on as they spoke to the crowd about the imprtance of the Movement. YOURS TRULY had a chance to talk with both brothas and told them how noble they were of their efforts opf making the Jena 6 a movement and Brown wanted me to email him when the pic of he and Jones were ready for publication.

Also in the house was Rams' Fakhir Brown gettin his party on ( I gave him a pity pat on the shoulder when I saw him. LOL. )

And now the BAD (and I don't mean good. LOL)


It occurred in the back of the venue where there is a closed off section den section for those who want to host private parties. Well, YOURS TRULY was in the vicinity next to the priavte area and next thing you knwo there was a tall stout brotha coming out of there yelling and screaming. Then the sista who was throwin the party, a b-day party I believe--was yelling back to him saying, "Mind your own business."


Meanwhile, Kirk was pushing back the stout brotha telling him to calm down as the sista was still spewing out her "Mind your business" epitaths.


To this day, who knows what was goin on, but OUTTOWN suspects it was one of two things


1.He was pissed cause he wasnt invited OR


2. He was pissed cause he saw her with some other man


Who knows, but it almost got ugly especially after such positivity with the Jena 6 ordeal.


Caint we all jus git along!

OUT 281--ANITA BAKER LIVE AT THE FOX THEATER FRI. OCT. 26, 2007

ANITA BAKER BRINGS CLASS AND SASS BACK TO THE STL(Photos by Ijebuman's Diary) by Ma'at Atkins



The Fabulous Fox Theater was turned into a two-hour smorgasbord of classy R&B soul as its music's very own chantuese, Anita Baker graced the stage last Friday.


Much to the delight of fans, Baker gave her all with a series of her hits from the years from "Sweet Love," To "Caught Up in teh Rapture," To "Giving You The Best That I Got" and "Just Because."


Accompanied by a seven-piece band, her set--which had no intermission--also had some album faves including, "Been so Long," "You Bring Me Joy," and even a few bars of, "You Belong To Me," which was not on the playlist of scheduled songs for the evening.



At one point in Baker's set, she quipped, "Anything can happen tonight. There's just these lights. If you wanna dance you can. Just pretend this is your living room. We pride ourselves of being very spontaneous." And so it was in that she asked the crowd was song they wanted to hear--just as long as it was in the scheduled songs. LOL




Oddly missing from the repertoire were songs from her 1994 CD, "Rhythm of Love" and her comeback 2004 comeback album, "You're My Everything."




During the show, a film crew was there filming parts of her show, which was part of her limited tour, for the upcoming Jamaica Jazz Festival she will be a part of and having the crowd to say, "Hello Jamaica" to the camera."










There were however some semi-diva moments when she asked the sound man for more drums and reverb on her mike. She was a pro and tactful in her request.

Quite bubbly in her persona and humble she thanked the crowd for being able to what she does for 20 years, then comically chimed in on her human beingness when she told the coprwd that she will be 50 years old in january and that "she have to slow it up a bit."




Baker, who was given roses by a couple of men from the audience, also promised the crowd that a new album was in the works of doing another reocrd and to be able to see the crowd again.


After a faux ending for the encore, she perfomed her first hit, "Angel" from "The Songstress" and the radio fave "Fairytales," from her 1990's CD, "Compsotions."


Baker definitely did not diappoint and in her words, "it is important to still keep keep live music alive."


Amen, sista!
EDITOR's NOTE: A source who was at the show told me that security had to throw a sista up out of therre cause she refused to give up the seat that she was NOT supposed to sitting in. From my understanding, the actual perosn who was supposed to sit in the seat came but arrived late, but the one who was already sitting in the seat's explanation for being in the seat was was that the show was almost over. Well, B and G security had something for her--the Fox exit doors. TMP!

Sexy socialite Michella bartended the event as she asks a customer what they were drinking. The drinks were FRIZEE by the way.












Bibbs, who has performed on BET, was first on the mike. He gave the crowd his brand of hip-hop comedy.
















Bibbs performed his famous routine, "That's What I Thought.' that put the crowd in stitches.













Local gangsta hip-hop artsists 2G was raw and rugged with two originals, "Gettin them Presidents" and "Down in the St. Louis Hustle."












Sir Ervin did two conscious pieces, "Freed," and "Stand." that got the crowd listening on its ear to every word as Michella and body paint artist Jessica Dana look on in teh background.

















A candid shot of Black Pearl's Roland Page and guest at the event (Too bad I couldnt get a pic of the tattoo on the top of his head! LOL) .
















The last act was Teresa Payne accompanied by Wildman. She was like a new school version of Millie Jackson who can sing and be funny. She sang, "If Only I Could Give You a Piece of Mind," Go To Hell, Baby," and ended her set with a short prayer thanking God of her life.





EVENT-VIEWZ. After I attended the St. Louis Magazine Party at Westin last Thursday nite, I trekked over to IAM Boutique in University City for the debut of this event. I only found out about this new monthly event the day before when I got a flier on my car while I was at Got Lyrics at Van Goghz. Although the crowd was a bit sparse, the show was enteratining and gave people a chance to network and hear some of STL's talented people.
