AT MIDNITE--NO HOSEA. BUT AT AROUND 1 AM....

Hosea arrived and stopped at the lower VIP area with his entourage but was dressed down in hood gear with shades.

Hosea was also accompanied by his co star Pooch Hall. (The one in ball cap with his back turned to the camera).

As the waiters brought out a chicken and shrimp platter and some drinks, Hosea talked with some of the fans.

Munching away!

Hosea smiles out to the crowd.

Therre's Pooch next to Hosea who was grubbin down!

Pooch, who was also dressed down and was not scheduled to be at Exo, made it known as well as he pulled his cap down to his face and wasn't taking pics.

Hosea and the crew leaving. They stayed about 20 minutes and was off to the East Side to clubs Flava and Posh. NOTE. This was a dispappointment to those who were expecting Hosea Chanchez to meet and greet thr fans. Not the case. They only came through more like a pit stop to the main spots Flava and Posh on the East Side of St. Louis. Come to find out, the promoter (who will be a blind item this week) agreed to an hour with Chanchez at Exo. That was not the case. Plus, as a conflict to the clubs on the East Side, Chanchez didn’t agree with taking pics with fans or the paparazzi (lUckilly teh OUTCAM blended well with the cell phone pic takers LOL) He was there just to show up for a minute (literally) and then bounce to the East Side where he was scheduled at Club Flava to speak to the crowd and take pics. Well, afterward,. the promoter was cussin a fit outside in front of the club talking to a bouncer shouting out that he paid 2 grand for an hour and he didnt get that and that he wanted his money back. Well, as Johnny Mathis and Deniece Williams sand back in the 1970s, "too much, too little, too late" for that! GO TO OUT 984 for pics and recap of the THE GAME stars arriving to clubs on the East Side!

From the balcony

NOTE: This event, produced and promoted by Vanita Applebum Entertainment, was very much welcomed and missed after well over a year in hiatus. It is also a great event to get re-establish and reacquaint oneself with progressively positive and business minded folk into the arts. The only problem was the attendees' in the peripheral of the stage were tooooo loud and rampaged the atmosphere of the performances. Spotted were St. Louis Posts' Kevin Johnson, singer Sineta, Vector Communications' Rebeccah Bennett, attorney Michael Walton, Frontline's Brian Stemmons, promoter Monica Tyson, educator Renee Thomas Woods and socialite Damon Green.
