Friday at the Velvet Lounge

Last night I checked out the Velvet Lounge as some of my wonderful twitter socialites know.  Hmmm what can I say......well first of all it was my first time on Granby street (go me)!  Unfortunately, Granby st. was kind of dead, but I was informed by a very handsome young gentleman, that most people were out of town this weekend so it's all good!  Anyway, the Velvet lounge is what my friend called the TRUE definition of a lounge. It's small, intimate, and actually a nice place just to relax.  However, last night it was a club!  While the music was ok (better than Baxter's where we later went) there wasn't much of a crowd and the ladies outnumbered the fellas by 2-1!  The crowd was more hip hop than business casual so if your looking for an afterwork spot on Fridays I am not sure this is it, although I have heard that they do have a poetry night which I would like to check out.  The drinks were average price and the cost was $5.00 to get it in.  I popped in and out of there all night long as I checked out many of the spots on Granby st.  All in all it was cool but not exactly up to socialite status.............

Great opportunity to network!

So I just got this great email from a young woman named Robin who has started a meet up on meetup.com called Tidewater Black Professionals and Entrepenuer network!  Apparently she has been following my blog and had some very positive things to say.  I am deeply thankful for her email and am glad to know that people find my blog useful! 

Robin will be hosting an event this Tuesday through her page on meetup.com which can be found here.  It is a speed networking event which allows people to network with others in an efficient manner.  I encourage everyone to check out.  After all how can you be a socialite without networking?
