Today we salute

Calvin Clark - Partner of Langston Lounge or Brooklyn NYC, Philanthropist and all around great guy. He is always the first to quietly offer assistance to people and organizations in need. Over the years Calvin has been known as the peacemaker. He easily flows between all worlds and is often the one people and organizations turn to when they are in need. Not only has his club been open to many groups over the years, Langton Lounge is also a wonderful venue in Brooklyn to party, network and share the love. Calvin has assisted the original Black Pride NYC by purchasing an ad even before the club was open to support the organization. He currently is involved with POCC and NY Youth at Risk . Nubian Dreams is proud to call him a friend and it is with great pleasure that we will honor him this Sunday at the Nubian Dreams Lounge.

• TAVIS SMILEY LOOKING FOR 'UNCONDITIONAL LOVE': Journalist needs submissions for new book. *SmileyBooks, the publishing company founded by Tavis Smiley, has launched a national campaign to generate submissions for his next book Love Wins: True Stories of Transformation and Triumph.
  The book will be a collection of real life stories that give voice to the transforming power of unconditional love. "Too often 21st century living has a way of disconnecting us from that divine power within," says Smiley. "Love Wins is an expression of faith that we can reconnect with love's power - to positively transform each other and the world we live in." The true stories featured in Love Wins will range from 500 to 1,200 words in length. Contributors' bios will be included along with their selection and each author will receive a complimentary autographed first edition copy of Love Wins. In addition to the entries included in the book, SmileyBooks will feature additional selections on www.tavistalks.com. Details on the Love Wins submissions guidelines can be found by clicking on the Love Wins banner at the bottom of the page at www.tavistalks.com/media/smileybooks. In the fall of 2008 when the book is scheduled for publication, Smiley will undertake a Love Wins "unconditional love" tour, inviting regional contributors to join him at events around the country.

For those of you who absolutely loved the vibe of the legendary 667 Sundays in Brooklyn, we're bringing it back every month, once a month, for you at Langston in Bklyn

Our first event is this Sunday, December 2.

Join Fred, Carlos Sanchez and all the 667 crew who brought you fabulous and memory filled Sunday nights.

This Sunday, December 2 and every first Sunday of the month thereafter.



SPRUNG -The party has moved to CLUB RUSH on 16th & 6th Avenue (formerly Heaven).

We're back to our regular schedule 7pm - 4am. But, we've added a WEEKLY OPEN BAR from 8-9pm. The music and vibe remain the same! It's free before 11pm.

Produced by Nathan Williams & Company.


We want to thank all of the promoters who have supported us. Professional courtesy is alive and well with some of us. We also want to thank Earl & Jonathan from After Effects at the Ritz every Thursday night at 46th & 9th Ave. in Manhattan. This afterwork event continues to grow. Calvin Clark, we love you. Langston Lounge is still going strong from Thrus - Sunday in Brooklyn at Franklin & Atlantic Ave.

This weekend, please support these talented brothers and sisters. Sent a positive message that we count! They count too...the studios, distributors, advertisers and other watch very carefully what we do. Most say we don't exist. Let's show them we are here. Check out the Dirty Laundry website designed by Toyce of Prodigal Sun Designs. He also did the Nubian Dreams website for us.
