On Thursday, February 20th, Jennifer and I attended Rick Ross’ Mastermind Album Listening Party on behalf of {C} Magazine. The event began at 8 PM and as I was in route, Jennifer texted me and told me she was running late and would arrive around 9:30-10 PM. Instantly, I felt an explosion of butterflies in my stomach. I get so nervous being at events by myself let alone around Entertainment Industry Professionals. I arrived around 8:20 and after getting by cops, security, and three RSVP checklists I was inside. Nerves began to set it. Anxiety spread all over my body once I scoped the room and didn’t see any familiar faces. I grabbed a drink from the bar to calm my nerves as I observed everyone in the room. 10 minutes goes by and I see a familiar face from {C} Magazine and my mini panic attack goes away (lol).

Once the main room in the studio was setup, everyone was asked to take a seat. We were advised not to take pictures so Jennifer did not bring her camera. BUT later found out media could take pictures so Jen leaving her camera was all in vein 😦 but here are some pictures here from FreddyO. Overall it was a great event. Had the opportunity to mingle (once the nerves were gone lol), eat good and meet new people!
