#175: Wonder-Full (Friday, May 7)

Eight years ago, I went to a Prince vs. Michael Jackson (Soul Slam) party. I didn't know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. I danced all night and left at 4:30 a.m. drenched in sweat. I'm not a huge fan of Prince, but I left that night a convert. I've been going to the event ever since. I was thrilled to discover Soul Slam is worldwide phenomenon: the Prince vs. Michael concept has been to LA, San Fran, Paris, Toronto, and last year when President Obama got sworn in, I attended one in DC! It was amazing!

Stevie Wonder is one of my favorite artists, so you can imagine when I found out that Keistar, the mind behind Soul Slam, also does Stevie Wonder parties. My joy was indescribable! And in 2008 when Stevie Wonder showed up, gave a really motivational speech to the audience and serenaded the crowd, I think that was one of the happiest days of my entire life.

Over the years, I've had the opportunity to meet the minds behind Keistar, and they are just like the vibes they evoke at their events: positive, warm and just good vibes all through.

If you want to experience what I've been raving about for the past few years, come with me next week to Wonder-Full XII. Get your tickets at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/109732 and a portion of your ticket price goes to the type of charity you select.

And check out Keistar (http://www.keistar.net) to see when they're having a party in your neck of the woods.
