Where did Cynthia go last weekend????
I was kind of busy this weekend... So here we go.
Thursday I went to the Alhambra Palace, downtown Chicago for the Afterwork Networking, Steppin and Line Dancing set w/b-day boy DJ Mellow Khris on the box. The party was being taped for an upcoming pilot tv show on Chicago cable access 25. Terrance (chistepper.com) and myself were interview by Ken Beford as the Steppers Media. There was a Belly Dancer, The Dancing Diva's Dance troop which did a new line dance to the new song "Chicago L Stop" with saxaphonist Ray Silkman (www.raysilkman.com ). The song can be purchase at: www.intro2steppin.com . 80% of the proceeds go towards free mamograms to uninsured women.
Friday I had to take my computer to my Tech guy and I got to him kind of late. After that I went to Jack's Lounge, Chicago, IL and hung out with DJ Ray Neal. He was playing Dusties, Old School, House and a little music for Steppers. I guess 1 song got so good to one of the customers because she started taking her clothes off. Literally. The owner had to put her out. Ray played..."It's Gettin Hot In Here"...LOL!!! The he played Tweets song you know..."There goes my skirt droppin to my feet." LOL!!! Too funny.. Just say no to Crack..LOL!!
Saturday I went to Mr. G's for You 2 Productions "Come Get That Money" Steppers Set/Contest w/djs DJ Vell and DJ The R tag teaming the box. Jake Malooley from Time Out Chicago Magazine (www.timeoutchicago.com ) was in the building conducting interviews with some of the steppers. They also took pictures for an upcoming article. I will let you know when it comes out. I emceed the contest and the winners were 1st place: Tori & Nikee, 2nd place: Ted & LaCole. They got that money that night. I'm still looking for my 10% for the Cynthia Bean Foundation. LOL!! Carol and Bernard raffled off money and gift baskets. Dang!!! After that I heard a little House Musik playing in the next room so I asked DJ Vell to hit us with some. It was over. You should have been there 20mins of House.. Ooo Wee. I left there and met a couple of friends at Abe's Hideway, Posen, IL. Then I made my normal stop at Klubb Karma, Harvey, IL..DJ Donnie Disco was on the box. And last I went to Manny's Blueroom, Robbins, IL (www.mannysblueroom.com ) w/DJ George. I got to step with a twin. Don't remember his name but he could go.
Sunday I hung out with my brother @ the Family Den for the Swaggers Football party. We got there around 3:45pm. They had a crowd. At 5pm this place was packed. Don't remember the djs but they were playing Old School Rap (the only kind of rap I like) and some House Musik. This party is from 12pm - 10pm. Dang. Then we went next door around 9:30pm to the Dating Game where DJ Emanuel was on the 1's and 2's playing House Musik too. I left finally about 10:45pm.
Oh special thanks to my Tech Guy, Larry Murdock, who fixed my computer and saved a sistah some money. Thank you...kiss kiss. Take care of that leg.--smile

Where did Cynthia go last weekend????
Friday I went to Club Dyamond, Lynwood, IL for the Dyamond Diva's set w/DJ Cross on the box.
Saturday I went to Adrianna's, Markham, IL for the Majestic Gents 12th year Anniversary and Moe's B-Day Steppin in Black. DJ's Bigg Jeff (50 Yard Line) and Mellow Khris tag teamed the box. The party started at 8pm and I tried my best but I got there at 8:30pm. The lot was full already. (DANG!!!) The sports bar and the comedy club had things going on plus the Gent set was packed. It was also hot in there. A group was scheduled to performed but I left around 11:30pm so I could make my 2nd and final stop which was Leona's, Calumet City, IL (by River Oaks Shopping Mall) for Rush Hour Entertainments Anniversary and Appreciation set w/DJ Stevo on the 1's & 2's. This was my first time to one of their sets and when I got to the door, 1 of the members, Cleve, was like "Let her through". My boy!!! The rest of the members are: Dino, Wayne & Dawn. It was packed and hot in there too. Although Leona's is a restaurant, they do rent it out for private functions. They move some chairs and some tables out and it's party time. I heard more Steppin' music than I thought I would hear. DJ Stevo did play a little House Musik. People were there who I use to dance with from The Other Place. In fact, that is where I know Cleve from. Then I saw a guy I went to NIU with. I told Dino that I knew the guy and his brother. Come to find out....they are members of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. (Ques or Que Dogs). We use to hang out with some Ques at NIU. (Right Sonya and Jackie--Party Baby-LOL!). Dino and Cleve pointed out about 10 of their Frat brothers in the building. 1 of them is running for Cook County Circuit Court Judge. DANG!!! I stayed til closing.
Sunday, I chilled.

Where did Cynthia go last weekend????
Saturday, I went to Adrianna's Banquet Hall, Markham, IL for Don Vic and Rocky's Original Style Steppers Affair. DJ Sam Chatman was on the box. Ms. Sandra from Classic 5 celebrated her b-day along with others. This was an experienced Steppers Set. (Old Skool). They were sharp too. I saw Don Vic turn a couple of people away at the that had jeans on. (The Plugger said no Jeans big as day..He had the right to refuse entry). Wow!!! I really enjoyed seeing everyone. Very nice crowd too.
Sunday, I went to Marmon Grand Ballroom, Chicago, IL for Goodtimes Productions 24th Year Anniversary Steppin in Black. DJ Steve "Breeze" was on the box..Mellow Khris was scheduled to come later. Mr. Connor, the owner of the ballroom sat me down after my comment last week regarding plastic cups for the drinks. He explained to me that when they first opened they had glasses. However, they seemed to grow legs and walked out the door. He said after spending all that money on them they just decided to go with cups. I gotta sir. Thanks. Very nice crowd. Congrats to Goodtimes on 24 years and running.

Cynt's 2 Cents
Oh I know it's been a while since I done one of these. My topic, the Holidays. We've all probably heard about people getting robbed, killed or both lately. Maybe even a victim of this crime. I just wanted to say, please watch your back, your front and your sides especially around this time. Although my words may seem funny, I am not kidding. This time of year is when the most robberies and killings occur. Some of the places we go to get our Step On are in neighborhoods that ..you know.. in the Hood. Just be careful and be aware of your surroundings.
That's Cynts 2 Cents.

Picture Above: Me outside the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, OH -- July 4, 2009.
Where did Cynthia go last weekend????
Friday I went to Club Dyamond (formerly Club Moet) in Lynwood, IL for the Dyamond Divas set. DJ Cross was on the box. Club members are: Marquita, Michelle, Anissa, Carole, MiMi and sweetheart DP (After 7 Prod). It's a small place. Kind of remind you of the 50 Yard Line in the CHI but a little more open and 1 bar instead of 3. This set is casual every 2nd and 4th Friday of the month. I met the one of the owners of the club name Paul. He is cool people. More New Skool Steppers and I still got some dances in. WOW!! Ken Amorio and I were joking saying that we didn't know where we fit in. New Skoolers call us Old Skool and the the Old Skoolers call us New Skool so we just said we are in the Middle. LOL!! Overall nice crowd.. they had to turn the air on. Dang!!! I stayed until 12:30am after the ladies had me introduce them.--smile. 2nd, I did my usual stop at Klubb Karma, Harvey, IL --DJ Stevo was on the box. Stayed just for a little bit then 3rd, I went to Manny's Blue Room, Robbins, IL. This place is actually a house that was gutted out and made into a lounge. There are 3 levels. One big bar up front and 1 on the 2nd level. Then there are pool tables in the far back along with a patio area. Talk to Manny a little bit..He's been trying to do a Thursday Steppers set there for a while now but has been unsuccessful. This place is one of the after hour spots in the burbs. It stays open til 4am every night. I had a pretty good time there. I got a Step in or two there. I got home about 3:30am. Yup I can do that.. I don't have any kids. LOL!!
Saturday 1st I went to Marmon Grand,Chicago, IL for Salaam Productions set honoring Sam Chatman. DJ Mellow Khris was on the box and Wali Muhammad was the emcee. He looks great. I found a spot rather close to the place so that was a plus. The drinks were a bit pricey for them to be in a plastic cup. I know we were downtown but... Hmmm!!! Met a lot of new faces since part of the group is the Educational Committee so I was networking away. I stayed for a hour and 15. 2nd I went to Reese's Lounge, Chicago, IL.. some friends of the family was celebrating their wedding anniversary and a birthday. Had to go, I've known the guy since I was 7 and he was nine. That's family to me. Stayed with them for about an hour. Left and went to the Dorchester, Dolton, IL for After 7 Productions set w/DJ Lavell C and Jammin John on the box. By the way, the Dorchester turned the air on too. --smile. I got home about 3am.
Sunday I was in chill mode. I just stopped by Jack's Lounge to pick up some music from DJ Ray Neal of 89 3fm WKKC and was back home at 8:45pm.

Some of you know that in December I usually take that Monday off between Christmas and New Year's Day. Well I'm going to do that this year as well. I will send out my last Steppers 411 for 2009 on December 21st. The newsletter will only have events for those two weeks on it... No Sponsors and No "Where I've been". So you betta get your complete event information in on time or else it won't show up on that 411. Make sure that you send your event info in a separate e-mail from your regular newsletter you send to everyone on your list Please. Events happening on 1st and 2nd week should have your info in on November 23rd. Then Events happening on 3rd, 4th & New Year's Eve parties have until December 4th to turn your event info in. I will not be updating the Yahoo group page either that week. Sorry, it's my vacation and I truly need the break.
You will receive the 1st Steppers 411 of 2010 on January 4th. Thanks for your consideration.

Where did Cynthia go last weekend????
Friday I went to Mariella's Banquet Hall in Maywood, IL for Unique Connections Steppin in Grey Set. DJ Darren was on the box. Fashion show by J & D Fashion and Fur Coats by Ms. Diane Jones of Carson Pirie Scott, North Riverside Mall. I stayed till 1:30am.. I was the emcee.
Saturday, my family had a little surprise b-day party at my parents house for my 16 year old niece. She was shocked when her little girlfriends, cousins and all of us came out and said "Surprise". She started crying. Awe!!! Then those little girls started dancing. Ya'll it look like their backs should be caving in with all that booty poppin they were doing. LOL!! It was fun to see my niece in full form cause she can go. I didn't know she could get down like Auntie Cynthia. LOL!!! My brotha (her dad) told her to chill with all that. LOL!! I showed them some of the slides that we do at the Steppers Sets and her little friends said "Ya'll dance like that at the party?" My niece said "I just thought that you Stepped!" Too funny. I was there from 4pm til 10pm. We kicked it.
So I wasn't ready to go home yet. But after doing all the slides with my nieces, cousins, I wanted to chill and have an Absolutly.-smile. I went to Klubb Karma, Harvey, IL w/ DJ Donnie Disco on the 1's and 2's and bartendar J-Boogie on the drink. I did a couple of slides. Left there and went to Sweet Geogia Brown, Country Club Hills, IL with DJ Stevo on the 1's & 2's. DJ Stevo played some House Musik. I went to the floor and saw Big Tony dancing and I did a move so he said "Come On." It was on ya'll. People were cheering because we got our House on like back in the day. Oooo Weee!!! People in the crowd were like "finally someone shut Big Tony down....LOL!! Ya'll I didn't shut him down. He stopped in the middle of the dance and st arted watching me dance cause he didn't think I could move the way I did. Too funny. Then he started getting down as he always do. Then another guy came to the floor and Tony offer to move but he wanted both of them to take me on. It was really on then. Umm Umm!!! I had a ball. Stayed there until 2:30pm. Both clubs do play music for Steppers too.
After hanging out all day Saturday, you know Sunday was a wrap. Know I can't dance like that and think I'm gon' move around the next day with out being sore. LOL!!!

Where did Cynthia go last weekend????
Friday I went to Rev's in Country Club Hills, IL (House Muzik All Nite Long) to help my home girl celebrate her b-day. DJ Stacy Kidd celebrated his b-day and got on the 1's & 2's along w/ DJ Lidell Townsend and DJ E-Smooth. I will just say this since it was a House Set.. We closed the place.
Saturday I went to Burbank Manor, Burbank, ILfor DeJaVu Steppers Assoc.'s 17th Year Anniversary and Sam L's b-day. DJs Steve "Breeze" and Mellow Khris were on the box. I got to meet and talk to Arlene Jones' daughter. WOW! People were out that I haven't seen in a while but I figured that since it was DeJaVu's anniversary, Sam B-Day and it was Halloween. The costumes up in there were funny. The place was packed. It was so packed that they were double parked in the parking lot. It took me 20 mins to get out of the back lot. Happened to be DJ Wallace's car blocking a sistah in...LOL!!! Hadiyah of www.stepchi.com was there so I know there will be photos on her site soon. ******* After getting out of the parking lot, I went to the Dorchester, Dolton, IL for After 7 Productions & Majestic Gents Halloween 70's Party w/DJ Lavell C and Jammin John on the box. After 7 announced yet another new club member, DP (Dyamond Divas sweetheart) WOW!! This party was too funny also with all those costumes. Markie B from www.steppersusa.com was there taking pictures. Ya'll have to go and see them cause a picture is worth a 1,000 words. Oooo Weee!!! (wait..why the Dorchester have the heat on hell???-LOL) I did get to "Walk" with Gerald May and then he asked to Step. You gotta understand.. Gerald and Marshall (formerly Main Attraction) were the two that taught me how to "Walk" on the dance floor 9 years ago. When both guys got sick, I stopped walking so to be able to dance with Gerald was a real treat for me. I left at 2:30am I mean 1:30am LOL!! (Time went back remember?)
Sunday I went to the Best Western in Hillside, IL for Strictly Steppers 3rd Year Anniversary and b-days for Sylvia, Mary, Otis and DJ Roy Shannon. Guest djs were; DJ Vell and DJ Cross. The group was Steppin in Black and Silver. Now I went out there to just chill, network and then leave to go to another party but Cheryl (twin) caught me in the corner.. "You gon emcee for us right? You know you started out with us 3 years ago at the East of the Ryan?' Dang!!--smile. She was right. Nice crowd. I got to meet some more people from Rockford and Waukegan. It was all good. Then finally got to the intermission around 10:20pm. I left at 11pm and got home around 11:40pm. Strictly Steppers I just want ya'll to know that had 1 eye open and 1 eye closed today at work. LOL!!!

Our friend Leslie Ann Roberts was cremated on yesterday, her memorial service will be held in Detroit, MI sometime in early November-- announcement pending.
The contents of Leslies apartment are going to be handled by a professional estate seller. The sale is tentatively scheduled for October 30 & 31 2009. Once the date and time of the estate sale is solidified I will send out another FB email blast and I also will post info on http://www.facebook.com/l/447c8;Chistepper.com. It may be possible to purchase items from the estate sale online so those of you who do not live in the Chicago area may be able to participate, I will provide follow-up to that.
I have forwarded each and every offer of assistance that you have offered to the family and they are most greatful as was I. The proceeds from the sale will go to the Roberts family and I encourage you to participate.

Where did Cynthia go last weekend????
Friday I went to the Lextington House, Hickory Hills, IL for the Elite Firemen's Steppers Set w/DJ Bryant "FireJoc" Coulter on the 1's & 2's. Guest DJ L Monte. They had on brown. Ladies there were men up in there. Lawd!!! -smile. The party was being taped by Chicago Access tv Channel 19. I met so many new people that say they read the "411". Then I passed by a table with a group of men from the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity and 1 of the guys stopped me saying that he reads it too. They had me laughing most of the night. GOMOB!!! ( I told you I would do it) Too funny. In the lobby were a lot of vendors.. Then there was a group of firefighters collecting donations for the "African American Firefighters" Museum. WOW!! They had pictures of firefighters from 1950!! Wow!!! Black Firemen... History!! I was impressed. DJ Bryant play a song and had the crowd do a "Soul Train Line". They had a long line too. Then he played some old school music where we did the bump. The floor got real packed then. Near the end of the party he played some "House Muzik" and that is when my hair went from straight to frizzy. (LOL!!) Gotta go get a relaxer now Bryant dang! You just had to play "Harlem" by Bill Withers didn't you?!?. --smile... Thanks!! Needless to say I closed the place @ 1am.
Saturday I went to the new spot Adrianna's, Markham, IL for the Majestic Gents Steppin in Pin Stripes Set w/DJ Mellow Khris on the box. This is a very beautiful place ya'll sitting in Markham, IL. I couldn't believe it. There is a Sports Bar & Grill up front that stays open until 5am. (that's what I was told) Along side of that is the Laff Zone comedy spot. Parking attendants guided me to the back for parking because the entrance to the banquet hall is in the rear of the building. The banquet hall holds about 1,500 people. The entire floor was wood. DANG!!! Chandeliers, staircases where you could walk up and look down on the floor, Mellow Khris was on the stage, 2 bars, coatroom, black marble in the bathrooms. WOW! In Markham??? The bartenders @ the back bar, Tony and Pat, were cool. Tony made me one of his drink specials called "Taste My Juices" and I must say it was "Absolutly" great!! LOL!!! Ooo wee. 3 cameras were going..Markie B (steppersusa.com), Haydia, (stepchi.com) and Jimmy (with the long ponytail..smile). Very nice crowd. The floor was like butter. I got to Step a little bit too.--smile. I closed this place too. Well I went up front to hear a little "House Muzik". So around 2:20am I went home. This place is 10mins away from my house. T.Pratt (chistepper.com) said that I only stay out for House Muzik parties and that when I'm at Steppers sets I leave early. LOL!! It was too close to home not to stay...smile.
Sunday I went to my parents house for a b-day dinner for my sister-in-law. We celebrate for all family. We had a great time. I didn't leave their house until 8:30pm and it was too late to go anywhere but I did stop and say hi to my homey Ray Neal @ Jack's Lounge. I got home about 10:30pm.
*********************
On a sad note
I am sad to say that the Steppers Community has lost another one. Leslie Roberts passed away on Friday, October 16th. As soon as I get funeral arrangements they will be posted on my yahoo group page.
Leslie Roberts Rest in Peace.....

***************************
Where did Cynthia go last weekend????
Thursday I went to the Alhambra Palace for the Afterwork Networking & Steppers Set (Ken Bedford Production) w/DJs Sam Chatman and Mellow Khris. Herb Kent (V103fm) Celebrated his 81st B-day. That cake had a lot of candles on it.---smile. He still looks good. I wanna look as good as he does when I grow up. (LOL!!) The group Vocal Poynt (correct spelling) song they version of 'Never Too Busy' and 'Payback is a Dog'. Go to: www.myspace.com/Vocalpoynt. Also Marshall Thompson Jr. (Chi-Lites) performed "Low Key" which they are re-releasing this year.
Friday I went Mariella's Banquet Hall, Maywood, IL for Unique Connections 11th year Anniversary and B-Day celebration for their very own Ron Steppin' in Black w/ DJ Darren. I was the emcee. I stayed til closing. Darren, you had to play some House Muzik didn't you? LOL!!!
Saturday I went to Mr. G's for You 2 Productions Steppin in Jeans w/DJ Vell and guest DJ "The R" from MRV Entertainment (Joliet, IL). Bernard, the smothered chicken and yams were the bomb. The macaroni and cheese wasn't bad either ---smile.
Sunday... O.K. my plan was to stay at home but my brother called and we went to Artis' Lounge w/DJ Swift. Then went to Reese's Lounge for their 38th Year Anniversary (Dang!!!). I left there and stopped by Gentle Persuasion for the Devastating Divas & Luther Gage Productions Steppin' in Peach/Orange Set w/ DJ Luther Gage and Mellow Khris. Thanks George.. you know what you did.--smooches. Then I went home about 11pm. WOW!!!!
*****************
Cynt's 2 Cent
The holidays are coming up and the criminals are coming out strong. Please be careful where eva you go. It doesn't matter where you are, if they want it they are gonna try and get it. If you go to clubs that are in the 'neighborhood', don't park on the side streets. Please try to park on the main/busy streets. If you don't get there early enough to get a park up close... please be aware of your surroundings and pray.
That's Cynts 2 Cents.

Saturday I went to a 70's party @ the Hammond Marina in Hammond, IN w/ DJ Sheron on the box. She played 70s music but they also did the Twine, the Twist and The Madison. There was also a 70s best costume contest. I left and then went to the Dorchester in Dolton, IL for After 7 Productions Steppin in Green Set w/DJ Lavell C and DJ Jammin John on the box.
Sunday I went to the 50 Yard Line in the CHI for Classic 5's Set w/DJ Diane Dove and Big Jeff on the box. Club members are Diana, Sandra, Pam and Big Jeff. Honoraries are: Goldie & Stanley. This party was more classic music with a splash of new school. It free and the dress was casual, however, there were Steppers with their Sunday going to church clothes on.--smile. Diana, Sandra, Pam and Linda (Bartender) have a ritual they do at the beginning and end of the party and I got in on the 1st one. Let's just say I Absolutly loved it. LOL!!!

Where did Cynthia go last weekend????
Friday I went to Mariella's, Maywood, IL for Unique Connections Steppin in Blue set w/DJ Darren on the box. I thought I was just going to pop in and chill. I was wrong, Gene was like "You getting the mic tonight." Dang!! Well he pays me for my services so what can I say. However, this kept me at the set all night. I didn't leave until 2am. Then when I got to the light at Madison and 1st Ave. why did I see a "Skunk"???? I'm for real ya'll I've neva seen one up close but dang!!!! I hurried up from that light. (LOL!!!)
Saturday I went to Mr. G's for You 2 Productions Steppin in Brown & Cream set w/DJ Vell on the box. Sat @ my normal spot by the bar. (Much Love)
Sunday I went to 4 places. I started out about 3:45pm so here we go: 1st I went to Club Touch, Harvey, IL for DV DJ Productions set w/djs Calvin (50 Yard Line) and William Berry on the box. They are also members of the organization. Host committee are: Frank Powell, Lerniada Coulter & Diva Debbie. Now I went up there to chill, get a dance or 2 in. But no, Diva Debbie stops me as soon as I walk in the door, "Are you getting the mic?" Dang!!! I told her I was just chillin'. Hmmmm! Dj's Bill Berry and Calvin all over the mic "Cynthia Bean come to the DJ Booth." I get to there and say "O.K. what?" Bill Berry gives me a cordless mic and says "Here, now do what you do." Dang!!! They both say "we got you covered." Cha-Ching. (LOL!). Now this place is not like the "New 50" remember it used to be named that? Anywho, it has a raised stage with 2 stripper poles on it. (Hmmm!!!) You can go upstairs for seating and there is a cat walk that is see through. Hmmmm. (Are the guys looking under the women's dress???--LOL!!) It was good to see Steppers and Skaters that used to go there when it was the 50. Some of the skaters say they wished that other clubs would have and after skaters set they would come out. Hint Hint. Then I went to Club Superior, 120th & Halsted, Chgo w/DJ Otto and Darryl aka Smooth. Then I went to Jack's Lounge, 127th & Halsted, Chgo w/DJ Ray Neal from 89 3fm WKKC. Last I went to Geno's, Calumet Park, IL (can't remember that djs name). Now all of these clubs are close enough for me to bounce like that. I finally got home about 1:30am. Wheeew!!!

Steppers Additional Info
There is a lot going on this weekend. 2nd Saturday is......Oooo Weeee!!!
Check it out the Steppers Special Events section below.
*********************
Cynts 2 Cents
Sometimes I am just at a party to listen to the music and get my Step On. I'm not always out on business and I'm not the emcee for every party I attend. (Even though most of you think so.--smile.) It seems like errrtime I enter a set I get the "can I talk to you about....??" or "you getting on the mic tonight?" It's not up to me. It's up to the club having the set and the dj. So before you ask me those questions, ask this one first. Are you out on business or pleasure? My answer to that should tell you why I'm there.---smile
Big thank you to all the djs for letting me grab the mic wheneva I come out to a set or call the station where you are and let me speak on the air. That let's me know that you have confidence in me to do what I do. You all have had an important part in my dj voice (LOL!!!). I can't play the music like you so stop asking me to do that part of your job. (you know who you are--LOL!!!!) But I will talk on the mic for you all night if you like. I know when I should and when I shouldn't talk because you've all taught me that too!!! Again, thank you for helping me with the microphone etiquette. Smooches

Where did Cynthia go last weekend????
Thursday I went to the beautiful Alhambra Palace, Chicago, IL for the Ken Bedford Afterwork Networking & Business Exp w/DJ Sam Chatman on the Box. As I said this place is beautiful. I know it was built with old money (Money that came down from their Great Grandfather LOL!!). It had this Moraccan Flavor, Copper, Gold and Brass. A true wood floor. Ooo Wee. The group consists of: Ken Bedford of course, Dorothy Brown Cook County Clerk, Senator Rickey Hendon, Dr. Carol Adams, Gil, Clarence, Charmaine, Louise, Cindy, Angela, Andre, Bonnie, Karen and the B-Day girl Marquita. They did something special this by calling up men that were willing to donate money to help a woman get a free Mammogram. 10 men went up. Wow!! There were quite a few politicians, news and radio personailities there. This place has 17 bathrooms, a VIP room that Ken named the "Beyonce Room" because she celebrated her b-day there once and another room that they had a Jazz Band in. You could go upstairs or downstairs. You could hear the music DJ Sam played in the bathroom speaker. Dayum!!! Then the real special thing was when Howard Hewitt came in to sing. Oh my ya'll he still looks good and still sounds good. Umm Umm. I got to take a picture with him too. (Yeah!!) I know I will get the pictures together this weekend dang. (LOL!!)
Friday I stopped by Revelations or Rev's in Country Club Hills, IL with some friends. House Muzik All Night Long. DJ Lidell and The Dizz were on the box. This place has House Muzik 6 days a week. WOW!!!
Saturday I went to 5 different places so here goes. 82nd & Troy Block Party w/DJ Oasis, Artis' Lounge, Reese's Lounge all in Chicago. Then I went to the Dorchester for After 7 Productions Blue Jean Party in Dolton, IL w/DJ Lavell C & Jammin' John and finally Klubb Karma in Harvey, IL w/DJ Donnie Disco. Sorry ya'll I can't give all those details. (Oh I'm so sorry After 7 for leaving your event off the newsletter last week. Please forgive me.--smile.)
Sunday I went to Don Vic Productions Steppers BBQ in Washington Park, Chicago, IL. DJ Sam and DJ Casper were on the box while I was there. Yes it was cool out but I was sitting in the sun warm. (LOL!) People were grilling up some food. I even got a plate. (Thanks to all that tried to feed me and give me drinks..smile). Then I left to go have cake and ice cream for my dad's b-day. I know his b-day was last week but we had to wait til my sister came back from her cruise to include all the family. That's just how we do.
Have a safe Labor Day Weekend!!!

Where did Cynthia go last weekend????
Tuesday I went to Reynolds Lounge for my b-day and some house music by DJ Chuck P and Resident DJ on Tuesday's Mike Dunn on the 1's & 2's.
Friday I went to the Regal Theatre for the Grim Reapers party w/DJ Big Will and guest DJ Ron Troupe on the 1's & 2's. I was the Mistress of Ceremony. It was a little bit of Steppin, House, Reggae, Old School Rap.
Saturday I went to a private b-day party in Tinely Park, IL for Marshall Thompson (Chi-Lites) and Joe Jackson (yes the Jackson's father). DJs were Sam Chatman and Rick Webster on the box. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson are the owners of this huge house and they had several Rolls Royce's infront of the Estate. (Dayum!!) The party was happening inside, outside all over. They even had port-a-potty's with carpet in them. Ooo Weee!!! I took pictures with Otis Clay, Gene Chandler, Stan Mosley, Lowrell, Ward Brown, Gus Redmond and two other guys who's name I can't remember. I met Vincent Greene. The Notations, The Voices and other groups were there but by this time I stopped writting because it was dark outside, I dropped my pen and someone stepped (no pun intended) on it. Cameras were all over. Much food around the house. They introduced some of the artists from the new label Mar-Ance Records. I got cold and I left around 12:30am. I do have pictures and Ken Bedford was kind enough to take some for me too (thanks Ken) but I had a problem uploading them to this system. When I have more time I will put them on.
Sunday I went to the park to see my dad, Coach Billy Bean, and his team play. His b-day is Tuesday (yup directly a week after mine) and I always go pay him a visit out there. They won 7-2.
