LA/Grammy Week day 2

Still Raining. The time change is driving my body crazy. Never the less my work wont do itself,but first sustenance. The continental breakfast the hotel was serving hit the spot, especially the made to order omelette's. MMMMMM! Back up to the room so I can make a few phone calls. First person on the list Ginuwine. We wind up bumping into each other at the baggage claim at LAX. We chopped it up a bit and he told me about a Pre-Grammy party/dinner he was hosting and asked me for my card (which I didn't have on me). None the less he called out his 7 and we parted ways, wich brings me to today. I called Ginuwines number and his bodyguard (I guess) answers and tells me to call back in a hour. I think to myself well maybe the time difference was kicking his butt too. LOL! Made a couple more AM calls and checked on the home front which was doing great but cold. Plans for the night began. We received an invite to attend Actor Brendan Dashazor's (One Life To Live) Red Carpet Event @ Social on Sunset Blvd. So of course we were there. Got fresh, Met up with DG, then hopped a ride with a young lady familiar with the area. Now the rain slowed but the night life didn't. It seemed to be a Red Carpet on every corner. We Get to the club and the line was mad long, but and invite (which we had) put us at the front and inside. It was a really nice spot... Tre' Chic! The music was sick and the star spotting was even more impressive. After several very strong drinks and dancing away my hair style it was time to head back and get some sleep....

Grammy week in LA...

First off I had to get up at the butt crack of dawn to do my hair before I left for airport. I didn't want to waste $75 at the salon when I knew the humidity would make my straightened locks curl like Shirley Temple. I get to Reagan Nat'l after fighting thru idiots in morning rush hour and head to check-in. Now this whole time I'm under the impression that I'm flying Delta, but after 10 minutes of being utterly confused I found my flight. Three floors up with Alaska Airlines. I drag my luggage onto the elevator to the top floor, look to my right with a sigh of relief. CHECK-IN! I was so happy I didn't realized that there was what seemed to be a disagreement going on with two gentleman and the counter rep. It seems they didn't believe they still had to pay for their luggage even if they were flying "First Class". I though to myself what a bunch of idiots and that's when he turned around..OMS! It's Ginuwine and his bodyguard, (he does look good close up).. We both say our hellos as I check my bags. I check two bags which only cost me 25 bucks and head to security. Security check went like a breeze but I kept getting crazy looks. Didn't dawn on me until I looked down at my sneaks ( purple sequin Nike mids).. Go figure?? I stopped by the bar to get an Appletini to calm my nerves before my flight, started sipping when I heard "Flight to LA now boarding". So I tipped the bartender and off I was on my way to LA!

Atlanta (Day 1)....

Flew out of Reagan National Friday afternoon, I landed in ATL around 5:20 PM. About 20 minutes earlier than I had anticipated. Anyway, I get here and Bam! The memories of the last years trip came rushing back and I wonder how will this weekend compare?? First on the venue: dropping of my luggage to my hotel and getting something to eat. So we hit the Renaissance (right behind the airport), drop my heavy ass bags off and head for Ruby Tuesdays. Met up with DG on the way to discuss what and where everything was happening. We get there (Ruby Tuesdays) and order the usual, Spinach Dip & Chips w/ a couple of shots of Patron.. Oh, I almost forgot a Cosmo for me. Mmmm, full a little buzzed we head back to the hotel to catch some zzzz's before the nights events.........
