    Despite our 4 hr delay at the border (DAMN U.S. CUSTOMS), we managed to make it into DC at a decent hour! Overall the weekend was pretty good - managed to met a few people as well as run into a few that I haven't seen for awhile!

    Friday night
    Yours truly - Black Diamond Ent, East Side Pleasures, Black Label Ent, Breathing Legends Ent and Smooth It Out Ent present ....

    Although I wasn't able to make it in time due to border complications- I received mixed reviews of how this party turned out! Majority found it to be quite an interesting party!

    Saturday Night
    A few DMV natives threw an after hour party in Maryland - what a commute but well worth the drive - Despite the rude awakening party goers received at the end of the night it was a GREAT party. Venue was full yet people were able to move around comfortably - music was a great mixture of everything - and the vibe in there was phenomenal.

    Sunday Night
    Rose Maaza & Robel Meskel presents...

    ONE OF THE BEST PARTIES OF THE DC ERI FESTIVAL '09! The venue was a GREAT pick - classy and chic - gave the girls a reason to dress up! The vibe was grown! Music was superb! Very nicely put together!

    Looking back at my personal experience, as well as through stories relayed by friends, I’ve come to notice that women are repeatedly subjected to the same pathetic approach by men. So began the birth of "Man Tips". Frustrated and desperately wanting to reduce the amount of nonsense women go through I've put together a few points to advise you gentlemen the BEST way to win her over.

    Quite a few people have already expressed their appreciation and gratitude upon hearing some of the advice I have given on the oh-so-sacred-art of the pick-up line and the donts of the dating world. These "Man Tips" are in no way meant to be taken offensively gentlemen, just a simple guideline to help you woo the woman of your dreams.

    Men please see these tips as an asset - apply them and you WILL be better off!

    ENJOY!!

    Man Tip #1: Never in your life think wearing zebra strip pants is ok - unless ur Fansworth Bentley!

    Rather: A simple white v-neck (THAT FITS U AND ISN'T DANGLING DOWN BY UR KNEES) and some clean pressed jeans will suffice


    Man Tip #2: Crushed Velvet is not for u - or anyone for that matter.

    Rather: refer to tip #1

    Man Tip #3: DO NOT DARE try and get a ladies number when it's raining outside, u open the door and let urself in first! SHAME ON U!!

    Rather: Open the door for her - try and get her to laugh about getting caught in the rain - then go for the kill!

    Man Tip #4: If ur gonna creep, please be ultra slick about ur shit NIGGA!

    Rather: just dont creep period! Be straight forward - we're BIG GIRLS now - we can handle it!

    Man Tip #5: Most men look best in accessories! Hats, Sunglasses, Watches, etc - keep in mind YOUR just a really big accessory!

    Man Tip #6: Just get comfortable with the idea of girls with weaves! Even girls with that "good hair" wear weaves! Plenty of girls are now moving onto wigs! Appreciate the weave!

    Man Tip #7: It aint trick'n if you got it! Just keep in mind u can't buy love - but you sure can buy company!

    Man Tip #8: Your ideal first date should NOT be u inviting her over to eat curry goat and watch a bootleg - and if it is kill urself NOW! GOSH!!

    Rather: A traditional dinner (NOT AT UR MOMS CRIB) and a movie (AT THE THEATERS) is never a bad move - if ur on that recession proof plan - movies are cheaper on tuesday nights

    Man Tip #9: 8 shots of patron doesnt make it ok to sniff a girls hair. Its not the alcohol - its YOU!

    Rather: just leave her alone - theres no other option for this one!

    Man Tip #10: No means NO!!

    Man Tip #11: When u ask for a ladies number and she says no - DO NOT ask why not! She's just not THAT into u!! GOSH!!

    Rather: Thank her for her time - and gracefully walk away with ur dignity in ur back pocket!

    Man Tip #12: If ur a GROWN man and ur idea of winning a woman over is approaching her with "Hey sexy/beautiful/cutie/gorgeous" - save urself the humiliations - thats preschool - UGH KILL URSELF!

    Rather: A simple introduction is CLASSIC - "hey ms. can i have a moment - my name is blah blah blah - what is urs? ....."

    Man Tip #13: PLEASE do not think a GRUNT/CHIRP/DOG CALL/WHISTLE is in ANYWAY a compliment - how dare u say "I just gave u a compliment, u dont say thank u?" afterwards - UGH GOSH!!!!

    Rather: Say something that actually deserves a reply "your looking lovely today/u look beautiful/i think ur gorgeous..."

    Man Tip #14: If you see a lady of interest walk by and u begin to walk with her - she states that she's NOT interested and u still follower her a couple of blocks - THAT'S SCARY NOT ROMANTIC!

    Rather: You can offer to walk her to where she's going - if she declines the offer - DO NOT get flustered just thank her for her time - wish her a great day and go about ur business

    Man Tip #15: Finally building up the "courage" to ask a lady if you could buy her a drink AFTER the bar is closed while you've been eye'n her the ENTIRE night is the oldest trick in the book - if you don't want to buy the drink (probably due to some man pride issues) DON'T OFFER!! GOSH!!

    Rather: DO NOT OFFER her a drink if u do not want to - ur better off not asking than trying to run "game" - she can see right through you!

    Man Tip #16: DO NOT challenge a woman on whether or not she has a man - ur only embarrassing urself by calling her out - SHE WAS TRYING TO BE NICE! GOSH!

    Rather: Tell her how lucky her man is - wish her a great day and go on about ur business

    Man Tip #17: You should ALWAYS ask for the name before the number - WHO ARE U CALLING?!?!?! UGH! GOSH!!!!!!

    Rather: Make sure that one of the first 3 questions u ask is her name - REMEMBER IT - once she shows a bit of interest then close the deal by asking for the number!


    Man Tip #18: Saying that u know her from myspace, facebook, twitter is not a good thing - its ALARMING!

    Rather: Act as thou u've never seen her!

    Man Tip #19: Personal space DOES exist - if she takes a step back that doesn't mean take a step forward! GOSH!

    Rather: Take that step back as an indication that you're getting too close and leave it as that.

    Man Tip #20: A crowded and noisy club isn't the best place to get to know her - not the time to ask what she does or who many siblings she has.

    Rather: As for her name - offer her a drink- take the time while the bartender is making her the drink to chat her up briefly no serious topics - get her number then - wish her a good night and tell her you'll call.

    Man Tip #21:1of5 - First things first DO NOT try and holla at a girl when ur lady is at the same event - u dont look like a G - she'll feel sorry for her!

    2of5 - AND if u are going to holla DO NOT pass along a message with a number through her friend - very elementary!

    3of5 - AND if u r going to holla and the friend insists that you approach - EVEN offers to take care of the introduction for you - UTILIZE the opportunity given to you!

    4of5 - AND if u decline that offer - DO NOT pass the number along on a coffee cup sleeve! GOSH! If its not a card dont even bother - Have you no shame?!?

    5of5 - AND FINALLY! After all that PLZ DO NOT write (name, number, ASAP!). How DARE you create a sense of urgency when ur passing along a message - things tend to go faster when u speak directly to whom ur wanting to talk to! UGH! GOSH!

    Man Tip #22: STARING is not polite - a double/triple take is flattering - but staring isn't cute, close ur mouth! GOSH!

    Man Tip#23: DO NOT wait till she walks down the street before u say something - AND if u do DO NOT DARE tell her to come back! WHO ARE YOU?!?
