It's time to blog again....and where did I head out to last night.....330 Ritch....This place has always been a classic for me...Just because I don't think i've ever gone there and not have a good time.... So what was the occasion??? STRICTLY BUSINESS had they're COME AGAIN anniversary party at this crib and it may just become a monthly scene for you folks that love to dance to ol' skool hip hop...and when I say ol' skool...i'm talkin Salt N Peppa and MC Hammer blastin from them speakers....hahahhahahahha

So where is this place??? It's located at 330 Ritch literally.... w/ cross streets Townsend and Bryant and between 3rd and 4th streets... Parking can be pretty hectic since you've got a couple of dives around this area such as Glas Kat, King Street Garage and Club Universe to mention a few... Also please pay attention to street cleaning signs...cause I parked in a zone that stated "No Parking from 2am to 6am EVERYDAY." It'd be pretty wack after having such a good time at the club to return to you car that's not there anymore since it got TOWED!!!! But last night I had no choice but to park in this zone. So I told my girls to nudge me to leave by 1:15am since you guys know it take HALF AN HOUR to say your good-byes to everyone!!!! hahahhahaha....and that's no joke!!!!!

As you walk in ...you'll be greeted your "friendly doorman" to see your I.D. and then you have the hostess that takes your money.....There's a bunch of small candlelit tables w/ wooden chairs in front of you and the wooden dancefloor in the middle. The bar is facing the dancefloor and to your left is a lil stage w/ more tables and the DJ. There's a back room which sometimes has another DJ but there's a pool table back there that takes quarters for those people who just wanna chill and more candlelit tables and booths w/ another lil bar....that usually serves your basic well drinks and beer... There's a coat check here and mind you people...the AC in here doesn't really work very well so you might wanna dress pretty light.... What is it w/ the AC in these place anyways? Have you noticed that they barely ever work???? You think that's a health hazard or what???

So we get there and it's 11pm and so we just missed the free entry!!!! DARNIT!!! Oh well...we had to pay 10 dollars but you know that's not bad since nowadays clubs be costin 20 BUCKS!!!! We get in and they've drawn a pretty good crowd being that it was only 11 o'clock... Unfortunately...as the Voodoochild and The Evil One stated ....."all shortys." And for me kickin in my 4 inch high boots....i'm pretty TALL!!!! Sorry guys....there were a lot of good lookin men last night, but I was either there height or a lil taller!!! UGH!!!! And the crowd was kinda young ...but maybe in the next couple of months it'll be better...

I get my first and second round of drinks last night and I'm chillin w/ the Voodoochild, The Evil One, Mightymom and Shag..... by the dancefloor... And then all of a sudden I start feelin someone's hand either on my shoulder, on my waist, on my arm tryin to get my attention. But of course it's really light so I brush it off since i'm chillin w/ my folks.... I overhear Voodoochild talkin to some dude who states he's tryin to HOLLA AT ME!!!!! And literally he was HOLLERIN up in the club in my ear!!!!!! And it totally caught me off guard and I was like what the hell is goin on..... Well foolio ends up being a messenger for his homeboy tellin me that i'm real cute and he would like to dance w/ me...!!!! GUYS!!!!! DON'T EVER SEND A MESSENGER OVER!!!!!! BAD BAD BAD!!!! If you wanna try to get a girl's attention..do it yourself!!!! So I tell the messenger...if he wants to dance w/ me he should come over himself and ask me..... So homeboy finally gets the nerve to come over and ask me to dance after 5 minutes of debating and of course i'm taller than this fool....but I go ahead and dance w/ him since i'm itchin to dance... Thank god dude could dance.....or else i'd be outta there in a second... But this is what really gets me....Boy was tryin to figure out how old I was...and get this....he goes....."your Class of .........'98!!!!!!!!" OH SHIET!!!! I was crackin up!!!! "I was Class of '98 in COLLEGE!!!!" Now I knew I was really dancin w/ a YOUNGBUCK!!!! All good...I didn't come out tonight or any night to find Mr. Right at some club.... I come out just to meet new folks and to have a good time..... So after some chit chat...I cut out of the dancefloor and check up on the girls....

So I'm chit chattin w/ some folks, and goodness gracious...it's the messenger now buggin wantin to dance..."what's goin on???? am I goin through all the friends now??" So we end up dancin next to the Drunken Masta, Voodoochild, Mighty Mom and Squeak......and we end up dancin in a line doin the wop!!! LMAO!!!! oh goodness....Drunken Masta and I go at it battlin...and I of course finished off w/ the Hammer droppin back w/ one hand and comin back upright!!!! hahahhahahah you know the Weekender can't be goin half-ass!!! hahhahahaha. Anyways... finally BOY WONDER APPEARS!!!! The purpose of also goin out tonight!!! I straight left the messenger on the dancefloor to say wassup to Boy Wonder.... Guys I usually won't just leave you on the dancefloor...but excuse my actions since I was pretty loaded last night....

Boy Wonder brought his boy 2 Left Feet and they just strolled from Cityscape, which is located at the top of the S.F. Hilton. This is goin to be my next venture, hopefully in the near future.. So of course...the Weekender can't stay away from the dancefloor too long so Jive and I hit the floor and Mighty Mom, Jive, Boy Wonder, Voodoochild, and I become an sandwhich or should I say it became a FREAKTRAIN....LOL!!! OH GOD!!!! I'm so glad that Mighty Mom came out w/ us last night.... Totally brought back memories of our college days!!! I miss you girl!!!!!

Ok...so last night turned out to be another good night....like I said before....the people your with totally make your night...And last night I was surrounded by my most dearest and best friends... I love you guys for being a part of my life!!!
