Where Did Cynthia Go This Past Weekend?

Thursday I went to the GlobalMixx 2nd Annual Women in Entertainment and Music Celebration with Mary Datcher in partnership with Cook County Clerk Monica Gordon at Chug-A-Lug . It was an after work dinner event with DJ and Moderator First Lady CEO of internet radio Jam98.com . It was beautiful to see all the women that paved the way for the up and coming women in their professions and encouraging them.. then the up and coming women were giving the veterans their flowers.. just beautiful. 2025 Honorees were: Bree Specific (On-Air WGCI/iHeart Media), Bonnie DeShong (Jam98), Cathy Carroll (Pure Champion Promotions), Cheryl Winston (Columbia Records/Sony Music), Lady Red (On-Air Soul 106.3), Pinqy Ring (Emcee, Educator, Activist), Ronda Flowers (House Promoter), Tarrey Torrae (2x Grammy singer/songwriter), and Tyra Martin (WGN TV Producer)

Very nice event. Hope to be there next year.

Sunday after my visit with my parents I went to the Noble Entertainment (formerly the Dorchester) for L & R’s birthday celebration for Mr. Ron Mitchell. DJs were Johnny Flow and Slique Riq. It was sooo good seeing the Veteran (y’all say Old School) Steppers getting their party on. Some I haven’t seen in years. The place was packed. I tried to dance but that floor was terrible, sticky and dirty like they haven’t mopped in weeks. No I don’t put powder down because if someone slips, they will try to sue but also the floor was too dirty to do all that. Ok I digress. The group L & R were so welcoming and fed everyone.. grilled chicken, green beans, Caesar salad, mashed potatoes and a roll. A meal. Wow!! I don’t care what some of the New School Steppers say.. our Veteran Steppers gets it in.. they party.. they will dance all night. Oh yeah, I’m at the bar and heard a lady say give me a double shot of her alcohol of choice. I was like, well alrighty then. We better hope we get to that age and can still party. Not sure when L & R's next set will be, I'm sure going to be there if I can.

That was my weekend.

Cynt's 2 Cents

Venues, Establishments, Banquet Halls, Clubs, Lounges whatever that are owned by Black Folks.. Please do better. We want to support our black people establishments but make us feel like it is worth it. If you know your place opens at whatever time, be there at least an hour before to make sure things are ready before you open the doors. For example, if you know you are having a party come in at 5pm, you should be there at least by 3:30pm or 4pm. Making sure the place is clean, your bathroom is cleaned, has toilet paper, soap, paper towels, your bar is stocked with everything including Bottled water and even flavored water. Should rarely tell people "Oh we don't have that".. alcohol don't spoil.. get it anyway and when someone asks, you have it. I can't stand when I go some places and they say "we don't have this but we have that.. I didn't ask for that.. I asked for this.. Ugh! Owners and Managers should be doing inventory every week anyway. You should know what your clientele likes and on that rare occasion when someone asks for something that you don't have... make a note of that, go get it and the next time they come back to your place, you have it.. that would make me want to go back because I felt like you heard me, and you want to keep me as a customer. If I'm having a party and I tell you I drink this and you don't have it stocked on your bar for me.. I want my money back including the deposit to hold the place. I told you what I drink, I paid for the party, I'm bringing you customers and I'm the host of a party and I can't get what I drink? I would never have an event with your business again. Ok. Ok.. I'm so sorry but.. again they have to do better. Trying to help some of these Black businesses.. umm umm. I can't even get into the cost of drinks and food at some of these places and the extra Alcohol taxes. Maybe at a later date.

That is my two cents.
