AJ’s Adventures – PhillyIn … South Florida!

posted by Amber-Joi // 2.24.10

I love the city of Philadelphia! But I also love leaving the city of Philadelphia! Sometimes you have to get away to realize, “there’s no place like home!” On the top of 2010’s New Years Resolutions list: TRAVEL! So I packed up my bags, hopped on a plane and was off to one of my favorite destinations, Sunny South Florida….

I love the city of Philadelphia! But I also love leaving the city of Philadelphia! Sometimes you have to get away to realize, “there’s no place like home!” On the top of 2010’s New Years Resolutions list: TRAVEL! So I packed my bags, hopped on a plane and was off to one of my favorite destinations, Sunny South Florida.

I always have an agenda when I set off on a trip. This trip’s agenda? Pro Bowl, Super Bowl, and avoiding the blizzard Philly was about to get slammed with! Great agenda, right? My goals? Have fun, re-connect with old friends, network with new faces, book some gigs, work out, and hit up some of the most exclusive events (oh! And get some work done too).

I can sum it up in word one, AMAZING! I accomplished ALL of my goals! I avoided the 72 inches of snow that hit Philly while I was gone (sorry about your luck friends). I booked 2 gigs (including a feature role in a music video with European singer Taio Cruz for his song “Break Your Heart” that features rapper Ludacris). I met really great new contacts and ran into a ton of familiar faces, including quite a few very special Philly friends (who shall remain nameless). Most importantly, I attended some fabulous events; The MAXIM party, a pool party hosted by the infamous Terrell Owens, the EA sports party, Cameo hosted by Ludacris, and so on … I was having so much fun I didn’t leave for 3 weeks!!!

My favorite event, for sure, was the EA Sports party. I went with my buddy Zo and his brother Kelenna of the Golden State Warriors (pictured) who introduced me to the lovely Tara Moore and her brother Tyler (also pictured) the daughter and son of Peter Moore, president of EA Sports.

Now, I’m going to be honest with you. After a few days, Pro Bowl and Super Bowl parties start to seem like reruns. Each place has the same people, same music, same scene…I guess it’s hard to keep a girl-on-the-go like me entertained, even at the Super Bowl. But the EA Sports party was different! Part exclusive soiree; part arcade, now this is cool! I can appreciate a classy event with a twist!

The party was outside at the Clevelander with lavish lighting, a great DJ, a warm breeze and did I mention NFL players challenging each other to video games? Plus there was some fabulous food and, JACKPOT, an open Bar!

One of the coolest parts of the night was the Madden Bowl, played by the NFL’s top athletes. I wish I could tell you who won, but I stopped paying attention. Sorry folks, I got d.i.s.t.r.a.c.t.e.d. … O.M.G. … Its Him … HE’S HERE!!??!!

Basically, this trip to South Florida was poppin’! Looking forward to hearing more about my next trip? Stay tuned for more of AJ’s Adventures… and if your interested in connecting with my buddies Zo, Kelenna, and Tara follow them on Twitter.
