A FEW NEW PERFORMERS:
We already got Pacewon and Young Zee from the Outsidaz breakin' off a song or two, now I gotta announce a few others who will lay it out for you. SHICE, Big Shice/The Source Magazine's golden child, will perform his hit single "PETRIFIED" live, and if you are lucky, you might get an autographed Petrified Vinyl......cover artwork by yours truly.
We will also take it real old school on this Mid Week Bash, with a little live performance from the GRAMMY AWARD WINNING group THE DELPHONICS
(About the Delphonics)
During the 1970's and 1980's, the Delphonics defined sexy-soul love songs like no other group of it's era. Formed by brothers Wil and William Hart the Grammy winning group became famous for great songs including "La La Means I Love You," "Didn't I Blow Your Mind," "Hey Love," "Break your Promise," "Somebody Loves You," "I'm Sorry," "Tell Me This Is A Dream," "He Don't Really Love You," "Alfie," "Delphonics' Theme," "You Got Yours, I'll Get Mine," and many more. Not only were the Delphonics known for their smooth singing and rich harmony, they also gained fame for magnificent choreography. The use of strings and French horns in the background of the Delphonics songs gave the group a unique musical identity second to none. And the group's trademark capes were a touch of pure class. Yes...this legendary group set the standards for vocal abilities, style and grace.
NOT TO MENTION A SPECIAL SURPRISE CELEBRITY SINGING GUEST- to sing HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME........even I don't know who it is...they like to keep me in suspense.
Bastardos!
Holy crap, and what a crazy assortment of people will be at this thing!
Did you ever have a scenario in high school where you had this group of friends who were in the drama club, then you had another group of friends who worked with you digging frozen septic tanks out in the winter, and cleaning spent bed pans in the summer? Then there was another another group of friends who you would only hang out with if you were in the mood to wander around setting fires, small ones mostly, give or take the occasional inferno.
Then there was the group of guys you played football with on the weekends, and the group of dweebs who you played roll playing games with on Tuesday nights, and they insisted on having "High Tea" every half hour even though they weren't British? But no matter how much tea they drank, they never took a leak, because they were "uncomfortable using unfamiliar toilet facilities." Then your hillbilly cousins who you would hang out with at family reunions just because they were your age? They would teach you how to shoot a sling shot, and you would be able to borrow it only if you promised to baby-sit a few of their kids. Let's not forget the weird high school beatnik crowd who you only saw when you would read poetry at the coffee house, and they only smoked when the were reading poems? And the weird thing about all these groups was, that you got along fine with any one of these groups by yourself, but if any two of these groups should happen to meet- it would be like a fucked up scene from the twilight zone, all hell would break loose and it would be like polar opposite universes colliding!
...me neither
This party will be nothing like that.
Let me clear a few things up so you aren't confused:
1) Party is this Wednesday, you are invited. You CAN BRING FRIENDS!!! There is NO LIST. Just tell the door man Cojo's Birthday Party, and you get in without paying- easy as that. It's one of those...If you are cool enough to have been invited and know the password, then you are cool enough to get in...the password being "Cojo's Birthday Party"
2) Open Vodka bar is 10-11, so come early and drink heavily for FREE, on me- get your money's worth.
3) FLOW is the venue, the other place is no longer even a memory so you can erase it from your mind. CO-JO at FLOW...it rhymes, easy to remember. FLOW is a classy place so don't dress a slob or a gangsta (their rules). IE, no tan timberland shoes, no hoodies, no sports jerseys.
I promised I would design a flyer, I put it online, here it is:
