the big picture/entire galleryWith
a line literally going around de corner, the Atrium Night Club on Memorial Drive
treated fetegoers with two powerhouse DJ's. Black Chiney (JA/Miami) and Back to
Basics (Trini/NY) had the massive crowds split across the rooms but enticed them,
nevertheless. De Trini posse, as always, had ah ball at the Atrium, but found
it hard to understand de V.I crew's new dance.... the 'Avocado'. Water Colors
did not make a huge splash as the boys in blue (police) shut the fete down early. On
Saturday, de talk of de town was that Destra was coming to the Club Legacy. And
when she appeared, she did not disappoint either, moving the massive crowd in
a frenzy. Even her band members got into the action.... having a 'wine off' on
stage. DJ Stephen from ATL heated up the people and kept the party live till almost
5am. But the night/morning was not over. The large crowd got the word and everybody
flowed to De Panyard for 'Insomnia.' At that point, the pace was too fast for
Ghanian born Raymond, as he was found sleeping on a couch around 7am, while
music and Iron was jamming hard to the delight of the USCA crew. During
the day on Sunday, Atlanta's popular Jazz Festival turned out thousands of patrons
at Piedmont Park, that lasted several hours. Troubled
by a little equipment problems.... ATL renowned DJs Tony Tempo and DJ Stephen
once again managed to keep the Wear White fans intrigued on Sunday night. Though
that ended early for the first time in years, patrons flocked to De Panyard for
another eye burner session that went till 8am as De Panyard seemed to be the place
after every fete.... As
the weekend slowed down, DJ Stephen, DJ Hummingbird and DJ Tony Tempo got the
action pumping again at Stephen mother's house with a 4pm to 4am All Inclusive
house party. Allyuh..... believe me, moms could rel cook!! Ah still tasting de
corn soup in meh mouth. --
