This is the first time we have had time to breathe in months. James Saunders and I thought that after all the preparations and promotions surrounding the Nubian Dreams Cruise and Lounge we needed to take a breather. We will not be hosting a Nubian Dreams Lounge in May but we do have a special event that we are planning for invited guests on May 21. More details to follow. If you will be in NYC on Wed. May 21 email us for a invitation for this very special event.

On next and final Nubian Dreams Lounge event will be again at Taj Lounge on Pride Sunday, June 29, 2008 from 6pm-11pm which will be co-presented with HBO. This is an event that you don't want to miss.

Below is Part II of last Sunday's "In The House" event. Thanks to our girl Aleada Mintor of InnerRising Productions, Inc. we got some great footage. Our entertainment featuring DJ Fred Pierce, Lady Jasmin, DANI and Kenton Rogers made us look good. I heard from the winners of HBO's "The Wire" collection, they are loving it.

Enjoy.
