GRAMMY PARTIES!!! Will.I.Am – Dave Matthews – Neil Young – 1OAK

Yay for Award Season.
by Alyssa Ramos
1st and foremost, I’d just like to point out that I’m incredibly disappointed that Justin Bieber wasn’t at any Grammy events last weekend considering that he had to go be an obnoxious idiot. Basically that was just an obnoxious lie to annoy persons…the only matter I’m disappointed about is him becoming an idiot and consequently forcing every single bored, opinionated individual in the planet to be obnoxious idiots on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. It’s almost as irritating as watching Wealthy Little ones of Beverly Hills. “Girls should often put on flip-flops to pool events alternatively of wedges, and guys should always put on sneakers.” Hashtag NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. I guess cash can’t buy style…just Tv demonstrates. Oh and don’t fear, I presently began rather the Facebook war by voicing my little viewpoint..it was me and every person else versus one particular previous, ugly, weird LA guy who thinks he’s amazing due to the fact he has income. Guess who won.

What was I speaking about? Oh proper, Grammy events. So as you could or could not know, depending on wherever you dwell, it is at this time “Award Season” in LA, which signifies gifting suites, red carpet events, and events galore! The 1st 1 that I went to was Neil Youthful’s Grammy Celebration last Tuesday, at which, on arrival I got yelled at by my date for not recognizing who Neil Youthful was. He’s sort of a significant deal in ya know…music historical past, so what I realized was to always Google people today in advance of trying to go to their occasions…especially when making an attempt to impress a date. There have been three floors of various rooms with distinctive themes, drinks, appetizers, and sponsors, and just about just about every vital music exec, producer, and techie in the sector…not that I could differentiate, I’m just repeating what I was informed.
Soon after Neil Young was presented with an award for a thing (read more on the CBS Nearby article right here), the upcoming distinctive guest that took the stage was Dave Matthews. Now, I by no means was the variety of lady to get into his mellow, swanky, heart-felt tunes…I’m way too substantially of a realistic, independent, biotch…so it wasn’t precisely insanely fascinating to see him, but what was thrilling was seeing how wasted he by now was whilst continuing to drink on stage and carry out his tribute to Neil Younger.

The up coming event was Will.I.Am‘s Grammy get together at Avalon final Thursday in Hollywood, which was also a advantage concert for his charity, “I.Am.Angel Foundation“. As with most items that I impulsively agree to, I wasn’t entirely certain what exactly it was that we had been going to, but at least this time I knew who the host was! When we got there, I knowledgeable the typical nervousness of bringing your good friends to anything that sounds magnificent and then watching the “what the f are we executing here” appears on their faces when you appear about and see no one you know and have no idea what’s going on (these are two rarities for persons in LA).
Anyway, the good information was that it was an open bar, so the slamming of vodka sodas in purchase to ease the awkwardness commenced. We inhabited a space near the front of the stage and took turns going to the bar to refill our drinks while enjoying the festive Brazilian songs sung by the founder of Bossa Nova and a cameo by Will.I.Am.

We weren’t expecting what came next. Even though at very first we had some extreme #whitegirlproblems and 90’s child difficulties making an attempt to figure out if the individuals singing the acquainted rap and hip hop songs were the actual artists, or cover artists, by the time the third performer, Dougae Fresh came out and begun educating absolutely everyone how to Dougae, we figured it out. My freshman year of highschool was flashing ahead of my eyes, hefty bass, beat boxing and all. Other artists that performed had been Biz Markie, Bell Biv DiVoe, Busta Ryhmes, Chaka Kahn, and Scarface. The event raised in excess of $two.4 million for underpriveleged students in Will.I.Am’s childhood community in East Los Angeles (for more data check out The Huffington Post‘s article on the event right here).

Considering that the event ended at midnight, we Ubered in excess of to 1OAK Los Angeles were a number of folks have been speaking about going. Since I’m fancy and attended the soft opening last week, I didn’t realize that it was the grand opening to the public and that every man or woman in LA would be trying to go. And they did. It was past packed with persons attempting to expertise one of the hottest new clubs in Hollywood. I don’t manage becoming pushed about effectively so we made our way up to the VIP tables behind the DJ booth the place Jim Carey and Steven Tyler have been, but even the cool kid tables were beyond packed with the who’s who of Hollywood.

Ironically the DJ was taking part in all of the songs that we had just heard reside just a few minutes prior. Actually it in all probability wasn’t irony…they almost certainly knew that all people from the occasion would head there following like we did, but it was still humorous at the time. What was even funnier was when 1 of my friends who was blacked out wholly ate shit in slow movement. Like she literally looked like she was going to put her glass down on the floor then gradually rolled backwards with the drink spilling on top of her. It was definitely one particular of individuals “don’t laugh, don’t laugh” moments, but the superior news was that she instantly needed to depart just after that, so I didn’t even have to trip dwelling early by myself for as soon as!
