It’s so amazing to see your talented friends just take off. NEGATIVE-ASS STEPHEN (my loving nickname for STEPHEN BARR aka DJ HUGGIE BEAR) has been moonlighting at one of New York City’s best hotspots for food, lodging, shopping and play — THE ACE HOTEL.

Last Saturday he went IN! Playing jams ranging from Raze’s “Break For Love” to The Smiths “This Charming Man” to Rolling Stones “Start Me Up”. As if the music wasn’t entertainment enough, half of the room was staring in awe at this young, big, black gentleman playing music they didn’t quite expect from DJ HUGGIE BEAR.

THE KIT: Nike Varsity Jacket, Vintage Tee Shirt, Vintage Cardigan, Peg Leg Leggings, Jeffrey Campbell Throwdown Wedges (easy to walk in, especially for a klutz like me)

*OSCAR SANCHEZ combing the ‘stache.

*RAUL LOPEZ (LUAR ZEPOL)

*Old friends! I miss them much.

*These nuts were spicy enough to make everyone who ate them sneeze. It wasn’t so spice for me though because I literally eat hot sauce on everything.

*This girl was FEELING “it”. We weren’t quite sure what “it” was, but she was determined to dance and take any man with her. You have to love the folks who party hard…

*DREW holding it down.

I can’t wait for next week!
