Yesterday evening was pure fun! I was invited out to Center Stage to see Kandi Burruss in concert along with R&B crooner Tank. I will be the first to let you guys know that I’m not a concert goer. I can’t stand the loud music, big crowds and people standing up in front of me. So I usually opt out but something told me this was going to be something to see.

My girlfriend Tish and I warmed up the bat mobile and we were off! As chilly as it was here in Atlanta, we weathered the storm and made it downtown. From the looks of the crowded lobby other people made it out too in the frigid weather lol.

When we arrived Kandi was already on her 3rd song. She song some of her old hits and her new stuff like I fly above, and a slow song dedicated to her ex-fiance A.J. She put a lot of heart into that song. Fans were cheering for her and singing along, everyone seemed to really enjoy her music. I personally thought Kandi sounded a bit hoarse but others tweeted me saying, no thats how she sounds. She had great stage presence and her backup singers/dancers did a great job.

Tank was up next and he came out with a grey wool coat, hat and sunglasses. By the end of the show he was shirtless lol. I have never seen Tank perform but he was something to watch! I was in the front row, yelling my head off! He song some classics and new material that I heard at his listening party a few weeks back. The crowd went wild when he song, I Apologize and Please Don’t Go(my fav). He brought a girl on stage and thats when all hell broke loose because I thought he understood that he was my 2nd boo! I was yelling from the crowd not to do it lol! The girl was just smiling away and I was blank starring the whole time! That should have been me on stage smh! Another thing I thought was funny was that it was more male groupies at the front of the stage than girls with camera phones, I was dying! Tank gave a great show and I’m so glad that I saw both of them perform.

Tank ain’t right smh!

There was an after party at the W-Hotel in midtown and it was everybody and their distant cousins up in there! It was hot as heck but everyone came to support both artist. Kandi and her relatives sat in V.I.P. and I asked her for a pic of her boots. She said the name of the shoe designer was Sam Edelman.IMG 2022 1024x682 Kandi & Tanks Concert and After Party

Celebs that I saw out and about were Lisa Wu Hartwell & Ed Hartwell, Jazzy Pha, Luscious(The stripper from the Atlanta Housewives show), Marvin Montgomery, 3D,Rasheeda and more! Tank arrived later and everyone was flying over to get pics with him. I quickly cut the line of groupies and shut it down while demanding my suga and a pic! I said, “Tank you didn’t see your girl in the front? You didn’t pick me to go on stage! He smiled and said, I’m sorry Cakes next time!” I forgive you this time Tank,side eye! He gave me some suga and we took our pic(I’m a hot mess) lol. Pink Suga was getting sleepy so me and Tish made our way to the door.Kandi had a great party as they played her music from the dj booth and people partied. I would like to thank Jamahl King for Steps Events for the personal invite! Kandi and Tanks cd’s hits stores today!

Last night half of Atlanta was at the Marvel vs Capcom 3 party to preview the new game. I’m not a gamer but my son and hubby are. When me and my friend Esquire pulled up to the Ambient Plus Studio, the line was wrapped twice outside of the venue. I had no clue so many people were interested in this new video game. There were all sorts of people excited to play against each other and find out if this game was as cool as the previous ones. Konsole Kingz brought out the fight club to Atlanta for sure!

I got a chance to chat with one of the reps from Capcom and he said the all new game was highly anticipated because it had been a decade since the last one. Characters from the game were displayed throughout the place while red bull, pizza,pics from OMG Booth and good music was playing.

OMG Booth,what’s crackin!

Gamers played against each other and roared out when cool techniques and fighting moves were done. Over in the V.I.P lounge area, celebs stopped thru for pics, munchies from Willy’s and to try out the new game. In the V.I.P. goody bags I got a Marvel tee, 4 shot glasses with characters on them and a limited edition comic book(which was not mine for long once my son found out).I had a great time learning about gaming. Some guys I talked to said the graphics were hot and the different tricks that that the characters did. They wanted the actual game to be a bit faster but overall it was awesome.

Over the weekend I got a chance to experience something so fab! Sole Plus,Converse and Scion came together for a great cause. Sole Plus is a non profit organization created by Brian Miller. I was invited out to check out the cool art exhibit featuring Atlanta’s tastemakers and national artists .

The event was held at the Ambient Plus Studio. We walked in saw all sorts of cool graffiti art work, sneaker exhibits,live body art,indoor art walk and more. Ciroc was the official liquor sponsor that poured all night, plus hip hop music booming from the speakers. OMG Booth was taking fun pics of people while others checked out what artists created. I loved the pink converse tennis shoes hanging from the makeshift wires and other sneakers placed throughout the art gallery.

Drummer Alien Warr shut down the party with his mad drum skills! He brought back soo many memories of when I did pr for Sonny Emory’s drum clinics at Georgia Tech. I never heard of Alien but he was a beast and did many tricks on the drums! I got a chance to chat with him after his set and he was a lot of fun to talk to. He is a self taught drummer and has played on many tours with bands and singers. I would like to thank The Garner Circle for the invite and please check out the pics!
