One look around Dailey’s last Saturday night and there were a slew of hardhats, tool belts and suspenders. Was it the Department of Transportation’s night out? No, it was the masses who dressed in theme to support Flavor Unit’s “Construction Affair”. The flyer wanted this dance to be about all the hardworking people so in addition to construction workers, there were also a few hottie police women and naughty nurses in the crowd.
As expected from the last Flavor Unit bash featuring John Hype, the venue filled up quite early as Chat ‘Bout entered the dance at about 1am. The exterior décor of an orange and white barrel and street crossing sign greeted guest as they entered Dailey’s. (There were also sightings of constructions vest and hardhats on the wall of Dailey’s earlier in the week to further peek interests in the bash). Sounds from Sample Jack filled the air with great vibes as the partygoers who dresses for the occasion took a step back to admire there fellow ‘hard workers’ on the scene.
Although there were several, one high‘light’ of the evening came as Sample Jack’s Lava and Slaughter played their latest Mavado dub plates and the crowd immediately got hype. The crowd’s energy grew larger and larger as the light from the video camera took in the action of the back room. No sooner than you could say Night Ryder, the video light revealed itself as no other the Ricky Hype sporting a hard hat with a light attached (the better to see you with my dear...). Too cute! Theme dances always bring out the creativity of some people and we love to see everyone have a good time at the dance.
Yes, there was a minor incident that attempted to disrupt the fun - who were they again? Hmmmmmm….. Let’s say it probably was the usual, someone bumped somebody in a crowded club, or somebody was messing with somebody’s man, blah, blah, blah – pick one. I am sure the real story will fall somewhere in between. But, who cares? Obviously no one, since the party didn’t even pause as the lights turned on and security quickly disposed of the rats.
So, moving on-
With any Flavor Unit event, there were definitely a few dancehall celebs in the house. Big Up to Ocean Wave Eye as he sported the coveralls and hard hat, Marc Dragon from NYC, Cleveland’s dancehall diva Ms. Trini (and Crew), 10to1 Promotions DJ Ray in the place promoting his big bash on April 5th featuring Pittsburgh’s Vybz Machine (see March 22nd post), Leisa Engel alongside the CGP crew, DJ Chubby, (working it out on the solo tip), Maggie and the Untouchable Crew - all decked out in neon vests and hardhats and last but not least, Mr. GQ, Burlow was in the house, sporting his usual suit combination (no construction attire for him, thanks), no need to promote the return of his much anticipated Players Ball at the Club Center on May 3rd featuring Stone Love - the word of mouth buzz will make it sell of on its own.
So once again, Flavor Unit did it in a big way with this bash. The crowd had a great time in spite of those who skipped the attire of the bash. No matter, all the hard working people had a great time and we all look forward to the next Flavor Unit bash.
