Bashment Review: Hugh's "Diamonds and Denim Affair"

Once again, the place to be last Saturday was Dailey’s Blue Mountain Inn to celebrate Dailey’s Heir Apparent, Hugh (not Huey, y’all!) Birthnite Bash called “Diamonds and Denim”. In spite of other large events happening last Saturday as well, Hugh’s bash held its own as the place was filled with good food, great music, and yes, of course, DIAMONDS!

Guests arriving to the post dinner bash were able to take in the décor of the venue as Dailey’s was transformed into an ‘icehouse’ complete with blue and silver centerpieces, silver place settings and ‘diamonds’ throughout. The guest of honors’ table completed the look with silver letters H-U-G-H and a huge ‘diamond’ to complete the look.

Hugh arrived fashionably late as he made his entrance in a custom made denim vest and pants ensemble. Clean cut and ready to receive his guests, Hugh immediately began to work the crowd and thanked guests for their attendance.

As dinner was served, there was a hush over the crowd as they enjoyed a Jamaican inspired menu included delicacies such as Jerk Pork and rice and peas. Other items included barbeque chicken and macaroni and cheese. If you were lucky enough to have an opportunity to experience this feast, you know Ms. Cynthia and Ms. Pat did their thing in the kitchen!

As the night progressed, the dinner crowd remained and quickly turned into the bashment crowd as Sample Jack DJ Lava Ranks catered to the early partygoers with an extended hip hop set. Not only is it a treat to hear Lava Ranks spins the tunes at a dance, it is quite entertaining to watch Lava as he clearly enjoys what he is playing above all else!

Want to see what I mean? Be sure to catch Sample Jack with Lava Ranks and Slaughter, Star Temple with CB and Ricky Hype and Organic Sound with Leisa Engel and DJ Chubby at Lava’s “Bright Color Affair” THIS Saturday! (See April 5th post)
In was easy to tell Hugh had A LOT of well wishers on hand to celebrate his birthday. Chat ‘Bout was able to spot a few dancehall celebrities in the house including Maggie Untouchable, Makka B, First Class, Conscious, DJs Ricky Hype and KC Platinum. Cleveland Reggae / Midwest Reggae Fest promoter Packy Malley was also seen in the crowd chatting it up with proud papa, Mr. Dailey.

All in the entire dance was, as expected, a success as the masses came out to support Mr. Albert Dailey Jr. It was also great to hear about the strong support for another dancehall celeb’s birthnite bash as well. Big up Lurlene! (Caribbean Flavor) We also hear your birthnite bash was a success as well!

Until the next bash you choose, here are a few pics from “Diamonds and Denim” – ENJOY!

Still blinging and still –
