G is for GOODBYE

A chapter of my life is closing. In December 2007 (six months after I started PhillyChitChat), a HOT new club opened in Philly called G Lounge. I had been covering the Philly scene for about 6 months, but was mostly covering random musings, local film festivals, and a few charity events, as I continued to travel to NYC to photograph celebrities on the red carpet and at their new hot dance club openings. (As well as work my 9-5 Paralegal job.)
At the time I was a contributor to Michael Klein’s tidbit & gossip column in the Phila Inquirer called “Inqlings”,
Michael got me on the press list of the hot new club opening called “G
Lounge”, it was a Nicole Cashman event. It was the first time I met her. I was very excited because up to
that time I couldn’t get passed the Cashman velvet rope at any of her
parties.

After a few years there was dance bar competition nearby, and it began to siphon off the crowds.
G Lounge reinvented itself hosting various parties, promoting parties, renting itself out for events
like this “Ready for Hillary” party and so many others that I attended.
Then there was the super fun RAW Artist events co-hosted by Erin Como and Frederick Calalang
and later by Maria Papadakis.
