Baaaa. Black Sheep.

So, yesterday I attended the Social Media Shin Dig at El Pueblito (fab) hosted by the Houston based PR firm Black Sheep. It was a mini break from reality, including tropical drinks in giant pineapples, delicious Mexican food, cabanas to lounge in & don't forget the best part... the chance to mingle with 200 of their closest friends from the Twitter. First of all, the location was amazing. I just love El Pueblito. And in addition to all of this, Black Sheep had live music, a photobooth and swag bags!


Me and my friend Will (Planning a Party? http://rsvpwithwill.com/)

Pineapple Margaritas. Chips. Dip.


Great event all together and an awesome opportunity to network. Kudos, Black Sheep, Kudos.

I Ain't Heard of That.

Every black woman's dream AKA Slim Thugga will be performing tonite at the House of Blues. Hopefully he'll only rap, and try not to engage in any of his "insightful" dialogue that we all love so much.

The show starts at 8pm and tickets are priced anywhere from $22.50 - $37.50. How many of you sistas are as excited as I am???
