Man oh man I’m still in shock…. Was in The Big Smoke that is London on Tuesday afternoon to have a meeting with a wine bar/club owner about holding some functions, After the meeting I hooked up with my friend, C.K. as she had a date with some bloke she met online and had some time to kill, so we went into a drinking establishment called Jewel, which is right by the Dunkin Donut place in Piccadilly….. we got our seats and I went to the bar to get the first round in, a woman arrived at the bar just as I did, so I let her order first…. She ordered….. 2 Vanilla Vodkas and a single bottle of slimline tonic split between the two vodkas….. total cost... £17.30…………………………………atm ……………………….. yes you read that correctly…. £17.30….the thing that got me was the woman didn’t even flinch, gave the barman a £20 and picked up her drinks and left him the change.
On the nightclub meeting side of things, there are plans afoot, so watch this space, we’re in the throes of having a few Charity nights, the two pencilled in so far are The Stroke Association and Sicklecell. If you have ties with a lesser known Charity please do give me a holla and let’s see if we can sort out a fund raiser for them too.
Also we are looking at maybe doing a quarterly do either called Back In Da Day or Back To Basics, the premise and aim of the night is get all those Thirty and Forty something’s out clubbing again listening to all their tunes from back in the day, it will be a heavy MOBO influences of Luther Vandross, Alexander O’Neal, Earth Wind Fire, Kool and The Gang, The Whispers, New Edition, Levert, The Mac Band, Cheryl Lynn, etc etc… so again watch this space people.
Oh if you are on Facebook, go and introduce yourself to the club, the user name is “Corks Winebar”... come on over and say hello…and with that invite I’ll say Peace, Unity, Love and Having Fun to yawl…. Bowling tonight, and I’ll let yawl know how that goes.
Oh shoot I nearly forgot…may I take this opportunity to wish Mr G all the best in his new eating regime…His decided eating “Raw” food is the way forward……………… atm………. Yes “Raw” food…… good luck with that son, I guess we won’t be gong to an Aberdeen Steakhouse this weekend then…..
