The fundamental beauty of pride has always been the ability to bring out those legends of the community that have transitioned out of a desire to be “present” every week, while celebrating the gregarious and youthful demographic that are your most loyal supporters throughout the year. I decided to step out for The Rails day party hosted at Kensington Roof Top & Garden. Far before the event, the socialites of the city had already begun murmurs of “be there”….As I entered, I was greeted by the host, Bernard, whom wist me in, hit the step & repeat for pics and then ushered me upstairs to the main event. It was a dope event for the grown & sexy of city. But perhaps next time, at a day time event from 2-7pm, perhaps you should ensure a space that allows shelter from the harsh midday sun. Your guest paid $25.00 to enter…are they not worthy of this minor luxury? Next, your price point for your guest was a solid $25.00….are you serious? But let’s proceed…After your guest paid $25.00 for entry, they were next informed that drinks were $12-45.00. Now I understand the Inflation Thesis… Inflate your prices a bit and you can you ensure the grown & sexy in attendance, while chasing out the ratchet twerkers. I get it….But $25.00 was a bit much for a STANDING mid-day fashion show…All-in-all, I enjoyed myself though! I look forward to today’s event….Deo
