Listen, I usually post about events before they occur, but that Jazmine Sullivan concert DESERVES a post. Jazmine is super talented and I don't think she gets the accolades she deserves. Her voice is unmatched. She's been around for a minute and has countless features with some of the hottest artist. The band and background singers also sounded amazing. When she bought H.E.R. out to perform Girl Like Me, I fanned out. It also felt good to be at a live concert again. If you've never been to the Anthem, it is a super massive concert venue at the Wharf. Parking sucks! The garage is always full so I strongly recommend getting there early and doing dinner/drinks or catching an Uber. You can check out their upcoming calendar here: https://theanthemdc.com/calendar/theanthemdc.com/calendar/ Enjoy this little clip. Dont judge how far I am back, Astroworld taught me to stand in the back near the exit.

 I forgot how dope City Winery is. Currently occupying the space that was once the legendary Club Love, it brings upon nostalgic vibes of when DC nightlife was in its prime…or at least I was in my prime.

 Definitely had a blast at Governors Ball this past Saturday. The 3 day music festival in NYC was really well executed. I had tickets for the Saturday show. I wish I had purchased a weekend pass to see the entire festival. Because I drove up, I parked on-site. Parking was $50 and had to be purchased in advance but it wasn’t crazy hectic. Thank God! The entry process was smooth. I got there fairly early so we didn’t stand in line. They required an ID and Covid Vaccine check. There were plenty of food and drink vendors so the lines weren’t ridiculously long. They mailed out wristbands and you could attach your card to the band to pay at the vendors. The event was completely cashless which probably helped move the lines along. The liquor sponsors were Aperol, Bacardi and Patron. They all had really cute installations with seating and games so you could enjoy your cocktail. The event installations were also dope. Saturday’s headliners we’re J Balvin and A$AP Rocky. I also wanted to see Cordae and Megan the Stallion. There were 4 stages, with different artist performing on each. Most of the artist started on time which I appreciate. Megan’s set was really good but lacked special effects. J Balvin however pulled out all of the stops…smoke, fire, lights. I unfortunately missed A$AP’s performance. It started to get late and I had to drive back to DC. All in all, I enjoyed every aspect of the festival. Felt so good to be at a festival again.  Old Town Alexandria Cocktail Week is September 10th-19th. Participating restaurants will be hosting events as well as featuring specialty cocktails. Events do require tickets. Here is a list of participating restaurants/bars.
