There was a lot of events goin on last Friday.

After staying for about a half hour, we jetted on the next block over for:

After staying for about an hour, we jetted to Lure Nightclub to see if comic Darius Bradford was going to be at his b-day party, "Sprung" and all of the news of him getting arrested and jailed for back child support payments as reported by his facebook page. The drive was to raise money for Bradford so he could at least be out to host his b-day party. Well, we got there, and got word from a source that we would be out on Monday so he was missing his party.

So he jetted there and hit:








Freetime and Koncepts' Spring Training networking party at Sleek inside Lumiere Place.











These lovely ladies were collecting the ends and greeting the crowd.

















Pictured are (from left) fitness trainer Deanthony Moore, Freetime member Roy Robinson, Radio One executive Christina Bailey and Freetime member Adrian Saddler.
