Even though my boyfriend and I (I know y'all 'bout tired of me starting my posts off with those four words) have been together for about four months now and we spend most of our time together I discovered a new side of him, well, more accurately a new side of us last night. After work he stopped by my job to pick me up, we grabbed a few slices of pizza, had a rather lustful walk through Times Square checking out the butch queen remnants of the Puerto Rican day parade crowd (yes, we check out dudes together). Then we went down to Webster Hall for the second installment of the KissMyBlackAss (KMBA) Tea Dance. Basically it's a party that starts earlier in the evening. This one began at 6PM. The organizers are friends of ours and I collaborated with them on the design of their website. We couldn't make it to the inaugural party but we were determined to attend this one.
The KMBA party unlike the 'black' parties I'm used to has it's roots in house music as opposed to hip-hop and is more of a multi-cultural affair. It wasn't exactly go-go boys, glowsticks and Kylie Minogue bumping out the speakers in Chelsea, even though I'm really curious about how the white parties are and I plan to go to one in the near future. It was a happy medium, house music with a touch of urban-ness, definitely an environment where everyone could feel comfortable. What was almost crazy was that there were actual real live... women there. Like real women with uteruses and fallopian tubes and everything! I haven't seen any of those at a club in like forever.
My boyfriend, who is a club promoter (who does mostly black parties) actually had a night in the club where he wasn't working and could focus on more important things... me. We spent the whole night together all cozy and all over each other. As DJ Quentin Harris' spinning got more intense and the whole crowd started getting more and more into the music (almost like it was a religious experience) my baby started wilding out on the dance floor. He always told me how into dance music he was and how he used to dance back in the day but to see it with my own two eyes was amazing and I have admit, a little funny. He's so cute. Even I started to dance a little bit. As things between us started getting hot and heavy on the dance floor our eyes landed on these two guys that were also together (they were friends though) we even joked about wanting to take them home with us. We were so horny that night.
Unfortunately I had to leave the party early because I had to wake up early for work this morning. I also had to miss the performance by Ultra Naté. But it was a great party, definitely a breath of fresh air, I had a good time before 10 o'clock and was still able to catch enough sleep for work the next day. In a word, perfect.
I must attend one of these Kiss My Black Ass parties. That's the kind of event that I want to attend, but haven't been able to find.
I'm accustomed to the black urban scene, but I wanted more house, techno, electronica, even trance; I wanted a drugless rave (why isn't there a club called Rave that gives the rave experience without the drugs). I didn't mind venturing to a prodominatly white party and club to party the way I've desired. Technically I wanted a mix of music in my clubbing experience for a night out dancing (R&B, hip-hop, reggae, pop, the whole electric collection of sounds). A mixed crowd is my kind of style too. I need that diversity in my life experience, so a party like that seems to be just what I've been looking for.
