Thanks, CIAA! I'm partying with Big Tigger

I wrote a column Thursday inviting people to invite me to their CIAA parties, and they have. I have at least 13 invitations. And most of the invitations have come from women, which is never a bad thing. I've been invited to N.C. Central and Johnson C. Smith parties, to after parties and before parties and during parties, to a Patti LaBelle party and a Big Tigger party and the L.L. Cool J party.

I couldn't make the Patti LaBelle party Thursday night and gave one ticket to a friend and another to my older son, Lee. Lee was not familiar with Patti's music, and when she came out he said, man, has she lost weight. He thought Patti LaBelle was Aretha Franklin. And you wonder why my ex-wife and I no longer are together.

I will attend Big Tigger's party tonight. He speaks to me.

So thanks, CIAA. You've been gracious. See you tonight.

YOU SAID: "And fashion? If you saw me at the tournament Wednesday, I was wearing a white and blue shirt and jeans, but that's my first-round look. I would hate to unveil my quarterfinal look at Cloth World. My finals look? The CIAA might not be ready for it."

So post a picture of your "A" game of fashion! You talk a good game, but we need proof!!!! Otherwise it's all TALK!

I love it! LOL

I've been giggling over your whole CIAA experience.

And i'm afraid I, too, would have to leave a woman who didn't raise my child with the appropriate appreciation for Patti LaBelle! Abuse I say. LOL

Keep it up and visit the Chuck Brown party tonight. We know you know what "throw down" means but do you know about that D.C. Go-Go?!

Alright we want a picture and full account of your party, NOW! I feel sorry for both you and your son, I would have given anything to see Patti LaBelle, and I do see why your wife is definetly an ex if your son was just now getting to hear one of the greatest female singers ever. She is AWESOME!
