HUSH! THE SECRET'S ALMOST OUT THE BAG
Good day, good day. I will start by briefly saying this.
I've generated hundreds of thousands of views and readers from all over the world because I gave my uncut/raw opinion. I didn't care whether it hurt people's feelings or not because I told the truth and was always cautious with my delivery regardless of whether I liked the entity or not (except for that one time lol). It was my reputation and integrity on the line. However, when I started receiving the fake love and comps to go to people's events only because they wanted me to give favorable blog posts became annoying. I wasn't able to be myself. After it happened for a second time, I was done. I can not be bought. I am not one of the women that allyuh does talk 'bout out there that can only go "outside" once given a free ticket. Yes, that was shade. Be advised, I work! Although comps have always been and will always be appreciated, please don't get it twisted. I can afford to buy my own ticket.
That felt like a huge weight has been lifted.
It's been a very long time that I've wanted to get that off my chest.
Now that that's done, I'm moving on to the true purpose of my blog today.
I find myself along with others not too much caring about the Floridian night life because in many cases it's redundant and frankly a huge waste of time, energy, gas and most importantly MONEY. Fetes are BORING! DJ's are playing the exact same set that they played last week an the week before that. You can literally stand up in a fete and call out what the DJ is about to play (and say) and when a crowd can do that during your set, you're washed. Sorry. Not sorry. Who paying money for that? Not the grown folk that know the value of their dollar and working hard for it.
So guys, please. I'm begging. Stop looking to make a quick buck and focus on the quality of your events! Think of our patrons. Most importantly, think of how it can stay fresh because the generation that isn't thinking before buying your fete tickets has the attention span of a pea and will soon get bored and tired of standing on ridiculously long lines to get into your fete for free.
With that being said, I have a little secret for you.

SORREL 2019
The event was scheduled from 11-5 so figured 1pm would be an ideal time to arrive. This gives me time to eat without rushing and another 4/5 hours to party and drink. Driving up, the parking looked sketchy but there was a parking lot right across the street and it was free. Double win!
After the short walk from the parking garage to what looked like a little clubhouse that we'd have to fight one another for breathing room, we walked right in. Inside was beautifully decorated. Not too much, not too little and gave me a very different look than what I initially thought from outside. Inside was very spacious and I was pleasantly surprised. Once ticked and given a band, to the immediate left was where I could have stayed. It was the food station. The first thing I saw were the cheese paste sandwiches. There was bread, I could also tell that the bread was homemade. There were cupcakes, cake, sweet bread, eggs and my favorite, HAM! Listen, I have no shame in saying that I think I singlehandedly ate all of the cheese paste sandwiches as I stayed in that little room stuffing my face for about an hour. *rolls eyes cause I don't care.
Once I ate til my belly nearly buss, it was time to attend to my drinks. The bartenders were very attentive and weren't overwhelmed. There were just the right amount of bartenders to keep the crowd flowing and they made the drinks very well. I actually tasted the alcohol and they didn't put too much ice the way many of these bartenders like to do. That was appreciated and encouraged me to purchase more. I felt like it was worth it.
So now I'm set. Walking into where the party was actually taking place... the atmosphere was different. There were large white curtains that separated the eating/social area from what I call the party area. CinCity had a large, single white table set up (which I called the V.I.P. because some very important people sat there) and many standing tables which were on two ends of the 'dancefloor'. The set up was dimly lit with red lighting. I must say, there was certainly a 'mood'. Throughout the party, people complained that the a/c gave out and that they were hot but I was quite comfortable and glad that I didn't experience that. It could also be because I was never stationed indoors throughout the event and kept making trips outside.
The music took me on a musical journey. There was parang, old school and new music of all genres which I also appreciated. We even got some Whitney Houston and New Edition!
This Sorrel will be an annual event brought to us by CinCity Entertainment and although this was only the 2nd Sorrel, I see this being one of the events that you can not miss once you're in South Florida for Christmas. It was an amazing event and I have no complaints.
The food was finger licking worthy *and I did lick my fingers, the drinks and bar service was A-1 and we all know how I feel about music. If the music isn't right, I am sour. Man, we even got a sexy Santa. Man an woman alike sat on Santa's lap! He was one of the Sorrel highlights.
Should you be interested in having your next event catered by the catering service that catered Sorrel, you can call or message Tieesha from Not A Tie Catering food is ALWAYS on point!
