Loyal reader BK2ATLMAN wrote in to let us know all about his experiences at T.I.’s “A King Of Oneself” Birthday Brunch on Sunday, October 2nd!
Hey Sandra.
I just wanted to thank you again for the tickets. It was a great event. Before I tell all the details, I also wanted to give a shout out to Hannah Kang, who welcomed me and my business partner, made sure we had our table and was just an overall great person. Cute smile too…
She even made sure T.I knew I was the winner and brought him to my table to chop it up a bit. Also it was recorded for his [reality] TV show.
The Good:
The place was beautiful, everything was setup perfect. There was an open Ciroc bar, so that was one of my best friends throughout the day. Can’t believe everyone was getting sauced that early in the day. The food was good, except for some egg seafood thing that just wasn’t the business. The chicken breast was the bomb, but after a couple bites it was done.
More Good:
My table was the bomb, on the left of me I had the A&R from badboy and on the right side of me I had Shawn Holiday from Interscope, who I already knew. I made tons of new connections and might have to cut you a check in the near future.. lol.
Now I’m not a shutterbug, so I don’t have tons of pics. But a quick rundown of who I had the pleasure of talking with. Mayor Kaseem Reed, Andrew Young, Heavy D, Ryan Cameron, Jeezy, Drumma Boy, Nelly, a ton of PR people and label execs. Chopped it up with Kevin Liles, Lil bankhead, Ed Lover, and I can’t even remember the rest..lol
The Bad:
The only bad I can say about the whole thing was me nor my guest received our gift bags. I think it got a little hectic once T.I left. Oh yeah, no fitting for any clothes and no Bottle of ciroc to take home…
Again it was great and I see they have respect for you and what you do. So sandrarose.com gets my official stamp of greatness….
Bless
AWWW! Nice Sandra! And glad BK2ATL had a great time!
Auntie always giving BACK!
@bk2 u talkn to my bayby **nelly**
NO GIFT BAGS AITN THAT SOME CHIT LOL
Imma need my check cut too
That’s really good that you enjoyed yourself!
lol @lake there was gift bags, but we just somehow didn’t get one..
Congrats BK!
BK2ATL can you give us some tea on the Diddy -itch fit directed at Kenny Burns? I know this is not really related but it is a little LOL
Oh yeah almost everyone was clean, you all saw the hawks dude.. lol
*starts the petition to get BK all the shatt he was promised*
@xamayca Diddy wasn’t there.. I guess he sponsored the ciroc bar.
BK, even you are more famous than rayj
that was really nice and well stated,

The mayor sure does make his away around….hanging around rappers and the likes…
It’s great you enjoyed yourself and was able to network.

Ohh okay @BK2
@Yall

Yall still crazy says:

@B2K
Um, were females not allowed to come?
yeah, the mayor was drinking and chilling, if he didn’t have a suit on and a security guard I would of never knew..
@man yeah there was a ton of chicks, hell 5 was at my table alone.
Well written synopsis. I especially appreciate the food-related details. Thank you for sharing, hope you get your gift bag!
Fun ish, this chicks tried to get in and was turned away and she told the security to meet her in the empty room across the hall… lol
LOL@Ya’ll its true! LOL
@BK2 LOL woooow u serious she thirsty much?!?! LOL
@BK
“yeah there was a ton of chicks, hell 5 was at my table alone.”
______________________________________________________________________________
Maybe Sandra just don’t wanna post any pics of em…
Awww shucks sounds like a ton of fun!
There was only a few worth posting to be honest. @Man
@BK
“There was only a few worth posting to be honest. @Man”

Yeah, I gathered as much…
Did Jeezy eat with bib on? I heard he ate with bibs and only used spoons.
You win a cookie if you do
I gotta give a big shout out to Andrew Young, real cool man. We had a real good conversation. So that was the highlight for me.
*wearing my CSI lab jacket and hat*
BK, so this puffy story is bull?
Folks are saying they saw a video (of puffy getting checked)…
*takes the bait*
So, who is this Andrew Young, and what does he do?
#nowevenandrewyoungismorefamousthanrayj
@Yall getting checked where, cause he wasn’t there. I was sitting with the Badboy people, and we all know Diddy is not going to be anywhere and not let it be known that he was in the building.
Thats wassup Happy Monday SR FAM
Lakes how was your weekend?
@Yall, you can’t be serious right???? Unless you from another country you should know who he is.

No, for real, I read it earlier on here, in a different post, I know chi asked about it earlier but somebody else (whom I can't remember) said they'd seen the video. They were even asking Auntie why she isn't reporting on it…
Oh wait, know who puff is or andrew young? Yes to puffy, no to young
DJM

Oh, that Andrew Young.

@Yall The Diddy “checking” happened at the party and not at the brunch. They were two different events.

**AUNTIE NOT FOR ME BUT FOR HER COULD WE GET A POST…DM me if you can @lisellespence**
Once again I’m sorry to be soliciting on here but I feel helpless and cry everytime I even imagine losing my two babies especially so young in such a horrific way.

@Sandra… you really can’t have a 1st annual anything and I hate they were promoting this as such
That is so sad Selle.

Tatted : you WRONG FOR THAT !! you know I had to go look
@Tatted
That pic is scary…
…I keep trying to figure out what is going on in it and who/what it is supposed to be…
@ JMO – no its not. Look @ post # 70 on this post.
@ Vero – What did EYE dew?? You should be saying that SHE is wrong for that. I’m the one that scared!
@Tatted uh uh that’s not really her… nope, it can’t be
@ FeFe – I saw that pic a while ago and I would not go back into the post that they posted in! It reminds me of an adult “Poltergeist!”
#traumatized
@ Ms. Everything – I sure hope not! That would be very unfortunate!
lol @tatt I had to go back and look.. wow. wonder if thats really her. If so bless her soul..
@ Tatt. Oh my damned!
I had to go back.
@ BK2ATLMAN – I’m mad scared, yo! I REFUSE TO GO BACK IN THAT POST!
@ BBW – hold me!
Congrats BK2!! Glad to hear you had a good time and that they treated you so well. Too bad about the swag bag though, hopefully you can still get it

@ BK2ATLMAN – I think thats what so scary about it to me. She looks, to me, what Carol Ann would look like from Poltergeist had she grown into an older, middle aged woman who was thinning @ the top! :shiver:
BTW – congats on being the brunch winner!
@ Selle, that is terrible, Dont know the lady by name but that is my hometown too. Just saw the story on the Valdosta Daily Times and have passed by that house almost everyday. Poor babies.

Ok, thanks Selle!
