theGROUPIE STORY


Once upon a time...it was my co-worker's birthday and our company treated him to a birthday dinner at Churrascaria Plataforma -an "all-you-can-eat" Brazilian rodízio restaurant that caters to meat lovers! If you are one of the unfortunate few who haven't been to a rodízio-style Brazilian restaurant, waiters come to the table w/ knives and a skewer -on which are speared various kinds of delectable meats. [See below:]

 

They continue to serve you endlessly until the customers signify that they have had enough with green/red cue cards placed on top of the tables. After feasting like the Apostles during The Last Supper, we headed to Thursday's "AFTERWORK" Party @ THE EMPIRE HOTEL ROOFTOP.


Upon arrival, I can see & feel the energy that "Heavy Hitter" DJ CAMILO has bestowed on the rooftop...the party was poppin' like Orville Redenbacher! I made my way to the DJ booth, greeted the International Club King and we chit-chatted for a few...I'm a fan of his turn-tablism & he's a fan of my "infamous" E-blast captions *wink* I then asked if it was "ok" for me to stash my briefcase...uh, man-bag...under the turn-tables and he goes, 'No prob bro, but it's gonna be $5 and I'll give you a ticket (coat check ticket)!" lol Not only is DJ CAMILO One of Top Rated DJ's in NYC, he's also a comedian! LOL's



After ordering my promoter's comp bottle and securing a table directly in front of the DJ booth, I went looking for my co-workers. After locating them, I asked the receptionist if I could take a pic of her & DJ CAMILO? At first she said, 'No' but I wouldn't take 'no' for an answer, grabbed her hand and literally dragged-her to the booth. When she saw a group of girls giggling n' smiling near the booth, she was like, 'Oh hell no! I'm not taking any pictures...I don't want to look like a groupie!' and proceeded to turn-around. I kept begging her to stay but she wasn't having it! Then CAMILO seemingly over-heard us and goes, "What if I want us to take a pic together?" That gave my receptionist perhaps the BIGGEST "Kool-Aid" smile I have ever seen in my whole entire life! lol And so, I finally took a pic of them and right after showing her the photo, she demands, "You better send that pic to me first-thing tomorrow morning!" (What a H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E! Lol's)
