The Dream ft. Kanye West @ Area

After the Fast and the Furious World Premier, we were off to the Dream's new CD "Love vs Money" Album Release Party at Area hosted by Myspace Music and Usual Suspects LA. We didn't get to Area until 11PM to find the line outside was insane. I heard people say they've been outside for nearly an hour and a half. Damn!

Good thing I stopped by the Hot Import Nights office on my way up to LA to meet with Indo (HIN) to pick up a few VIP wristbands for the event. We waited a short while until Ibay could escort us inside. Thank you guys!

Once we were inside the place was jam packed like sardines in a can. But it was worth it because the Dream put on a hype performance with special guest Fabolous and Kanye West. There were a few celebrities there including Shawn Merrimen (SD Chargers), Queen Latifa, Rampage Jackson (UFC) and a few other I heard were there but didn't see.

Here's the insane crowds of people I was talking about...
Sheryl x Tin x Karen x Melissa
I kicked off the night with a round of Patron shots with 3 of my favorite people in LA. Thanks to Doug Wu (the Collective) for the drinks! Greatly appreciated my friend!
Sammie x Abel x Loranie x TK
Mr. Allen Palos (Usual Suspects)!
The Beat Freaks were also in the house along with Quest Crew from ABDC. We're still working on bringing them down to SD soon so be on the look out for that in early April.
Alsquared x Eunice x Jessica x Ruby. I just noticed I'm posing exactly the same in the last 4 pictures. HAHA

Look how crowded it was... Good thing we found a VIP couch to stand on.
Too many cameras in the way...
I spy Kanye West x the Dream!
Melissa got within 3 feet of Kanye West, which is her absolute favorite! I think he's actually looking at her in this photo! =)
I love Maryss from Paris (Beat Freaks)!
Melissa x Ryan Feng (CADC Alumni | Quest Crew)... Congrats Ryan! Proud!!!
After the performances, people started to clear out and then the party started! HAHA Damn you Indo! Everyone kept feeding me alcohol, only problem was each drink was something different. I don't like mixing... Patron, Hennessey, Jager, Grey Goose...
Dru (Cockstar) x Chief (Usual Suspects) x Allen (Usual Suspects)
I love them!
I always see Twee aka Sister for like only 5 seconds... =(
Nick (Diamond Supply) x Karen
Open wider Chach! HAHA!!!
My turn to get Loraine!
TK x Doug Wu x Ben
Helen, I'll bring you your present next time I come up. I promise! I keep forgetting.
Damn you again, Indo!
Mica (21XL) x TK!
I ended up getting pretty intoxicated from all the alcohol mixing! But I had another fun night in Hollywood with the LA fam! THANKS again everyone!
