ChiStepper.com and Dre and Company’s awesome Pre-World’s Largest party was the talk of the town for weeks following the event. The occasion, which amassed more 1,000 steppers from across the country, is now in the history books. Sister 2 Sister, the country’s #1 African American celebrity magazine, covered the party and a few of the magnificent Steppers who attended in the December 2008 issue (on newsstands now). In the issue, you will also get a glimpse at Faith Evans, T.I.

Sundays in my family are usually a day for worship service, shopping after church, a big soul food dinner, and resting up for the following work week. But lately, my Sunday's have also included spending time with my steppin' family. Last Sunday, I attended Strictly Steppers 2nd year anniversary where club members Roy Shannon, Sylvia, and Otis were celebrating their birthdays. Other members of the group are Big Henry and Ice Mike, who deligently worked as the DJ for their party. Continuously pumping out good music, it was hard to get him to come down and take a group picture.

The Dancin Dons and Divas don’t have to worry about the sophomore jinx that so affect many social organizations. The Fishnet and Fedoras party in Cleveland, Ohio improved on last years Black Out party making the total over 300 people.

This year, members Terry, Keith, Carleatha, Lolita, Allen and Michelle made sure to add festivities that would draw people to a city that hosted pre-election activities and major post-Halloween Bashes all over the city of Cleveland.

There are times when I've made mention of or gave a shout out to a birthday recipient and I'm sure they appreciated the love. After a certain age, a birthday party may seem mediocre to some (I overheard someone mention something to this fact), but to others it's the ultimate time to party. Just Us Production's Rochella and Andrea's Sunday, October 19th party (Andrea's birthday) bash was great.

I finally made it out to Gary, Indiana for the 219 Steppers Club's 4th anniversary and Sweetest Day party. Following the Sweetest Day theme, the club members handed out gift bags with boxes of chocolate to the first 100 women that entered the Genesis Convention Center. Three of those bags included a $25 Red Lobster gift certificate, and being a shrimp lover, I wished I was one of the luck recipients.

As stated before, it is hard to objectively review your own function. In this rare case, I have allowed my best friend and assistant, Gina Gardner, to provide the review for this wonderful party, with a few footnotes from me, Crystal Fuller.

It’s tough to review your own party objectively, but I did want to write a few things before we transitioned over to Tracey’s review. Both Dre and I were overwhelmed with the response that we received from the steppers community and we were humbled by the many praises that we received the day after. Our goal was to put at least 1,000 people in Mr. G’s and we passed this test with flying colors. Both sides were packed to capacity and the crowd partied until they shut the doors at 2am.
