We're pathologically social. We're professional leisurists. We're burrito lovers, bar flies, art whores and music nerds. We dish the good dirt, and we'll risk a parking ticket for a cheap sample sale. Sometimes, we blog drunk.

I may hate the Grammys, but I do love the parties


 

I’m not a huge fan of the Grammys. I associate it with Celine Dion and that’s like fingernails on a chalkboard. I’m always excited about the parties though, especially after Ludacris’ party last year where a rhinestone-wearing Kevin Federline sent his friend to ask me if I wanted to go back to K-Fed’s place. Britney Spears’ leftovers: Totally hot, right?

Can this year outdo that? Let’s see. On Friday, Mark Ronson is taking over Teddy’s and Paul Van Dyk is throwing down at Vanguard. Akon is also taking over Goa on Friday, which you can actually get into if you make a dinner reservation. Ashlee Simpson will be at Ritual on Saturday—but she’s not really considered a musician so much a plastic-surgery addict who dates musicians with her same hair cut. Then on Sunday, Ne-Yo is taking over Ritual for a Grammy after-party. I’m not quite sure who he is, but I do know Common and he’ll be at Opera. As for the best party, I’m torn: Giant is hosting a dance party at Elevate on Sunday with Dirty South and Shiny Toy Guns, both nominated in the "electronic/dance" category. There’s also the Roots’ super-secret party on Saturday night that I’m going to. I wish I could tell you how to crash it, but the location is still on the DL. I do love a mystery.



Where will Daughtry be partying is what I know. Kidding, kidding.

PS. Want to skip to the celeb madness but still make the scene? Voila, Whiskey Blue's "Screen & Be Seen" party!

 
UPDATE: The Shins are will be at 86 on Sunday night. So excited!
