Rollin’ VIP

It was the MTV Music Awards… I have a friend that asked me to join him at one of the events. After working a double shift I was pretty spent that night but found out who we would be joining. A couple of high rollers with a past of Magnum bottles of Cristal and throwing hundreds of dollars in singles over balconies. I figured I had no choice but to suck it up and join the fun.

After a quick shower and change of fresh clothes we were off to Crobar. Upon approaching the entrance, we see these two billionaires still waiting outside. They couldn’t buy their way in. Things weren’t looking good but that didn’t stop us. When going out on South Beach a lot, you make a lot of connections. Turned out we had a friend running the party…

The velvet rope is lifted and we walk into the club with Xzibit. Pauly Shore must not be a big hip hop fan… Sitting by himself in the foyer, we walk by and he yells out “Oh shit it’s Dr. Dre!” Xzibit laughs, we give Pauly a pound and walk on. We get to the main doors and are told “it’s open bar top-shelf, have fun!”

Just when I didn’t think it could get any better… we walk in with one of my favorite song at the time playing, Jesus Walks by Kanye West. As I look up on the stage I see we also walked into a free concert, there he was. To be joined by Twista for the next song.



The party was hot! There were a long list of celebrities there that night… Nelly, Timbaland, Hulk Hogan, Jessica & Ashley Simpson, Ludacris, Dave Chappelle… to name a few. Eventually a lot of them started to clear out and our friends from outside join us. We get a table in VIP and watch it rain money over the balcony while sipping on Cris and Blue Label, hanging out with Tony Hawk and Steve-O from Jackass.

South Beach, it's kinda like… -D-
