Joey Bahamas...the Party Promoter???


Everyone knows I've been looking to throw my own parties for a while now. I never have the time, money or the drive to actually get them off of the ground. Now it seems that while I'm not going to be throwing "my own party", I have a party to take care of.

K5 Productions, a growing entertainment group in the city has brought me on board to help build a crowd for their Thursday night party at Be Bar. I think Thursday parties are great, and people have a great time when they come through. But the crowd is really young, the music consists of too much Beyonce for my tastes, and Be Bar as a venue has it's share of problems. I'm being tasked with coming up for some creative ways to tackle these problems. I'm looking forward to it...and some extra money in my pocket will be great too!

I have to admit though...it's a little scary. The kids are so fickle and I'd hate a potential second career as a promoter faltering under the weight of a "zombie party"-- you know a party with no growth potential, that's kind of just stagnant. And, with work in the office picking up I'm wondering if I'm taking on too much. I've got some great ideas though...and I hope people come out and support!

I guess this is kind of what it feels like to follow a dream...you go out and get it, even though you're afraid you'll fail. You do what you can and hope for the best. No regrets....

*sigh* Wish me luck!!!!

Too much Beyonce at a club/party? I'm not sure that is possible.
