Donnell Jones Showed Up and Showed Out
Club Bounce did it again and knew what they were doing! What did they do exactly you might ask? Well they set it off again with another fantastic live concert. The club located in the heart of Old Town’s night life district was where you definitely wanted to be on New Years Eve – Okay it was Fri., Dec. 30. Without a doubt, when Kandy B and I found out Donnell Jones was coming, there were no more questions. He’s one of the hottest R&B crooners of the 90s.
So of course we bee lined our way to the venue!! Guess everyone else had the same idea – the place was packed. This was an interesting crowd with a variety of ages and attire. WE saw people in furs, spaghetti straps, tight dresses, and Crocks???? Everyone was feeling themselves so why ask them to stop?
Everyone moved up close and person when Donnell hit the stage, rocking out to every song like “‘This Luv,” “You Know What’s Up,” and “Where You Wanna Be,”” and yes we were where we wanted to be! He sang live, but clear like his records. The women were grabbing all over him, while others pretended they were his personal backup singers/dancers (including Kandy B and I.)
We all had a great time and were happy he showed up and showed out. Applause to Ms. Brittnay and the Club Bounce crew.
Christmas Night the SUN Came Out
After waking up bright and early and enjoying Christmas morning with your little ones most of us spent the rest of the day in the kitchen making dinner for our families. Only a select few of us got to go have a little after dark fun at the Christmas party of the year. We headed to 40 Plus Lounge where there was a fabulous show of community support for our local community radio station KSUN 95.9 FM and its local DJs; which includes your Partytime girls, Shy and I.
Let’s pause here — just in case you’re not hip to KSUN. It’s Wichita’s only community-based public radio station and it plays a broad mix of music from old school, to jazz, to hip-hop to international. You can listen to the station just about anywhere. It streams online at ksunradio93.9 and you can also listen to it on your radio, although the listening range is limited pretty much to northeast Wichita. Check it out, find a DJ you like and tune in regularly for a mix you know you’ll enjoy.
OK, back to Christmas Night! Obviously it had been a full day for almost everyone in attendance, but that didn’t stop the folks from having a good time. I really enjoyed the local entertainment, especially comedian Uncle Bam and vocalist Lady D. It was a nice evening, for a nice cause. Hats off to Doug Lockett, who worked hard to make the event a success.
YFN Lucci & Bounce Appreciation
Our photographer Richard Kates was also on the scene this holiday season. He snapped a few shots at the pre-Christmas concert featuring YFN Lucci at the 54 West Music Hall. He also stopped by the Bounce Customer Appreciation Party held last weekend.
