Interesting blog & pics - Dre, Crooked, Warren G & more @ New Years Eve Party

[pootypooty]

This is a looooong blog entry, so I'll just highlight the interesting bits from it. Otherwise if you wanna read the whole thing, go to this link http://pizonishiphop.com/2009/01/04/show-recap-new-years-nation-2009/ under the heading Wednesday, December 31.

“You’re in the big leagues now,” said one of the organizers.  He wasn’t kidding.  We were told Dr. Dre and Axl Rose were both confirmed to be in the crowd at the show.

That evening, DJ Girl 6’s makeup artist stopped by the hotel to fix her up, we all showered and changed into our show clothes, and we were driven back to the Wiltern.  Crooked I was supposed to be meeting up with us, so we wanted to make sure he didn’t have any problems with Dre.  We knew he had written tracks for Detox, but we also knew how quickly relationships changed.  Just to be sure, we texted him asking if it was cool that Dre would be there.  He texted back sarcastically, so we didn’t get a straight answer but assumed if there was a serious issue he would have told us.

After getting settled in the dressing room, Girl 6 stayed behind to prepare herself mentally for the set, and Timid and I went upstairs to make sure Crooked got inside.  Being Travis and AM’s first show together since the plane crash, security was extra tight.  Everybody wanted in, so even though we had submitted a guest list with his name on it, we wanted to be safe and make sure he wasn’t held up.  We had stepped outside through the front door looking for Crooked while everyone else was filing in, when he called letting us know he was somehow already inside.  He and his manager JC came out to meet us, and we escorted them back downstairs to the dressing room — but not before hitting the red carpet and seeing some flashing lights.

It was just me, Timid, DJ Girl 6, Crooked I, and JC in the room.  Girl 6’s rider consisted of nothing but Grey Goose and Red Bulls, so we drank that and bullshitted for about an hour.  Crooked said he loved going to New York, and was frequently there working on a project lately.  I said, “Slaughterhouse, right?” and he acted surprised that I knew.  We told him about getting harrassed by the cops at the airport, and he said they didn’t play in LA.  We talked about how everything shut down at 2 AM in LA (earlier we were told that all power would be shut down as soon as the clock struck), and he and JC claimed it was the same in New York.  I responded, “Yeah, but not on New Year’s Eve,” and they conceded that point.  Crooked asked what we were doing later, and I asked him if any afterparties would still be going on.  He said Xzibit was throwing a party, and we could probably hit that up.  He was down to roll wherever, but would try to find out what was happening during the show.  We said cool, and told him and JC  they could stay in the dressing room while we performed, or roam around.  They chose to join the crowd and party with everyone else.  Timid, Girl 6, and I made our way up to the stage.

Warren G regulatin' the stage


Meanwhile, DJ Girl 6 was getting her makeup touched up in the dressing room downstairs.  Once AM was done, the three of us had another 45-minute set to close the night.  She walked out into the hallway, and Dr. Dre was standing outside her door.  He was just looking for a place to hang out.  I joked that it was somewhat odd for him to come to a New Year’s Eve party only to hide by himself in the basement.  It was funny that while several of his songs were being blasted upstairs and the people were losing their minds, they had no idea he was standing beneath them.
