We always look forward to DJ Cassidy’s birthday party, because in our opinion he throws the greatest birthday bash every year. Last year DJ Cassidy celebrated his 27th birthday at Cipriani, and this past Wednesday he chose an even better venue,  The New York Public Library. It was a star studded night, Jay-Z, Nas, Funkmaster Flex, Bobby Brown, and many other notable celebs were in the building.I got there extra early because I knew the door was going to get crazy, and of course I made the mistake of standing in the wrong line… by the time I realized I wasn’t in the “Press Line”, it was a MAD HOUSE. People were trying to push their way in past security guards, others were yelling “IM ON THE LIST!, and I even saw a little fight break out.  Even with all the drama outside, I knew this wasn’t a party I wanted to miss, so I stayed patient and finally found my way in after about an hour.

The set up was gorgeous, and the crowd was nice. I was mad to see that the place wasn’t even packed and so many people that WERE on the list were stuck outside. I swear at these events, sometimes the guards make it seem so much bigger than it is. Anyway, drinks were provided by Sprite Green and Belvedere (same as last year). I absolutely loved how the drinks were named after popular Michael Jackson songs like “PYT” and “Smoot Criminal“. I was on Smooth Criminal all night. And they were serving my new favorite snack, Peanut Butter and marshmallow sandwiches!

I walked in behind Estelle, and shortly after I entered the venue, Jay-Z and Nas came through, so did singer Shantelle, BJ Coleman, Bobby Brown, DJ Webstar, and of course…what’s a good party without the Retro Kidz?

Bobby Brown made a random performance, which wasn’t so bad! He performed all of his hits and the crowd was going wild. Rakim’s performance also had the crowd going wild.

Around 1:30AM, Funkmaster Flex came through and played Michael Jackson hits. I spotted DJ Cassidy and O’Neil Mcknight doing their MJ moves. Pure comedy!

Overall, everyone appeared to be having a great time. Jay-Z  was bobbin’ his head to the music and laughing with friends, while Malinda Williams danced on top of couches, and Micah Jesse and I did the moonwalk. Good Times!
