The Block Party @ HOB Recap by Jomo

Jomo is quick with his blog updates! I love it! HAHA Unfortunately, I have lots of updating to do so I thought I'd just post up his Block Party recap. Thanks Jomo!

CLICK HERE for Jomo's recap of the Beat Freaks Fiesta @ 5&A Dime.

To sum it up, There were A LOT of mother f*ckers up in there! I'd say about 90% of the people I've met in the past year in San Diego was at this party and they were all over the place. All 3 dance crews (Choreo Cookies, Strikers All-Stars, and The Beat Freaks) tore it up on stage. The DJs were on point. And basically everyone got f*cking trashed. 2 people went to urgent care, and I know we were taking care of one friend who may have had alcohol poisoning. What a night...

After a quick nap at bumsville, we got ready for the Block Party. We didn't get a chance to pre-party with everyone at the hotel so we made due with what was around the house. Victory Nightlife runs this.


Lots of birthdays to celebrate, including Josie's!


Birthday shot with Annabelle & Josie.


Once we got to HoB, I pretty much didn't see Josie or the Bumsville gals the rest of the night. Two people I did see are my co-worker Lizel (Kaba Legacy) and my friend from UCSD, Crystal!


And Lizel's little bro Erik. This new 21 year old has been living it up ever since his birthday. Welcome!


Lots of buds in the house. Sam and I go back to freshman year of college.


Edwin (Blends SD/Segue Mag), and Lanie & Bam (Hellz Bellz).


And Mr. Rhandy Yons himself. Happy birthday dude! Bet you can't guess his age.


Choreo Cookies are the f*cking best.


Strikers All-Stars (ABDC S4) were a last minute addition to the line-up. Great set.


Much love from SD to the guys from Florida! Goddamn 6-packs all over the place (pause).


Gels in the house.


Thanks for the 2 tickets Kimtan!


Allan (Univ). Moving to NY later this summer. Coolest cat.


A mash-up of SDxOCxLAxSF. Everyone. Shieeet.


Most of the night I was by TK's VIP area. It was straight up IGNANT in there.


KevMighty! (FYS)


Jerms (FYS) was snapping pictures alllll night.


You knew it was coming Rhandy.




MCing the main stage were Myron Marten (21XL) and TK (Victory Nightlife). Who's up next?


THE BEAT FREAKS!!


After an awesome performance, everyone sang Happy Birthday to Toe-Knee.


Back to the VIP area for more ignant sh*t. Toe-Knee you'z a beast man. I dunno how you promote AND host your own birthday party after escorting the Beat Freaks around. Take a break already!


Happy Birthday Vince! (Willy's Workshop)


Stacks Aly.


Twee (CA) and Jay (EOC) have been spotted.


Wuttup GUIL! Thanks for taking a few pictures for me with your long f*cking arms.


TK x Jon (Blends OC)


VIP area was crackin.




Eat bread Julz! Dude went to urgent care. Hope you're doing better man.


Everyone was up on the table dancing, including TM's Chanta.


Nash Quest (Univ) is making the move to LA soon. Hope to see you more often dude!


James, Kimtan, Stacy. Guess who's not drunk! (It's me. Seriously.)


And one with Mr. Marten.


Lights came on at 1:30am. I think they wanted to get all these drunk b*tches outta here. But before we left, I had to catch THE CLOSING ACT! The one and only Mark aka CHAUCHY! Tearin' it up.


TK x Scott Baldwin (OPP). Well at least their hands.


The aftermath. With the overfill of the VIP area and dancing on the tables there was ice, alcohol, and chaser all over the floor, plastic cups everywhere, soaked couch cushions all over the place, and an ineffective red rope dragged all over the floor. I've never seen HoB get so trashed after an event. A sign of a good party I guess. A slight photo revision here. See if you can spot it. If you know where it's at, hit me up @xjomox.


As for me, I had a good buzz at first, but it quickly faded as I found myself walking around a lot to hang out with different sets of people. I wish I got to take more pictures with all the new friends I made in the past year. Much love to the 5&A Dime peeps, Bumsville, Mindzalike crew, Wildboyz, Alphanumeric, Blends, Hellz... ummm just the SD crew for all being there! What a nutso night. A good run TK. Have another great year.
