I have had a busy week. I swear I have been out every night. Last night I had the nerve to stay out until midnight…on a school night!
Last Tuesday I went to the SKYY Infusions Moscato Grape launch in NYC at Goldbar. I have been going to many liquor launches recently which is really funny because I don’t drink alcohol. My reasons not to drink isn’t moral, it’s just because I do not like the way alcohol tastes. But I do try and taste all of the signature drinks at these events.
The event was hosted by the SKYY Infusions Trend Council which included DGi Management owner Damon DeGraff, Grammy award winning producer Syience, designer Angela Simmons, DJ Ms. Nix, Mixologist Otis Florence, nightlife curator Legendary Damon and celebrity photographer Johnny Nunez.
The room was set up like a speed dating date event. Yes, I have been to several. The host committee sat at designated stations and we got to sit with them and talk about how today’s Hip Hop has influenced various facets of night life culture like the “Moscato Movement”. Gone are the days of Cristel in Hip Hop.
I went to the event with my friend Genese of I Don’t Do Clubs. We got to sip on specialty SKYY Infusions Moscato Grape cocktails. We also were able to chat it up with Angela Simmons. I asked her about her vegetarian lifestyle and workout regime. She was very personable and gave me some tidbits.
I also got to meet super producer Syience. I had never heard of him before that night but his name is behind several hot joints that we have all listened to and enjoyed. But the good part about it was that he was from Michigan. We bonded over that fact. We Michiganders are loyal and show love to each other wherever we go.
I really enjoyed the concept of the event and the intimate set up. I’m not a drinker so I can’t speak on the drink but Genese seemed to like it.
As a parting gift, we went home with customized graffiti speakers. How awesome?! Just what I needed.
