Zenith Movie Set/ Club Providence

I had the chance to be on the set and play an extra on the set of the movie Zenith. I was only able to be on two scenes where I played an amused club goer in the first one. And an unlucky swinger in the other. As far as the plot i didn’t get much of it from looking around and I guess it was taboo to ask but  I found out anyway. its a thriller about two men in two time periods, whose search for the same grand conspiracy leads them to question their own humanity. The set was filled with energy, ball spinners, girls on stilts, cowboys, thugs, exotic dancers, well you get the point. Look out for the movie its in-dependant. Set: Club Runway 4 E 28th st, NYC

Blackberry Party at Touch

Every month or so Blackberry puts on a great event for it’s users and guest. Hailing with open bars and a great atmosphere, its no doubt why the industry is donned by blackberry users. So if you don’t have one what are you waiting for. There are many models you can choose from the flip blackberry, the curve, the bold, the storm, the pearls, etc.

Jerritt Clark Along with Moises De Pena, And Rekurdheadz Clothing Designer Kofi showed strangers from Europe a good time. While they enjoyed their last few days in the U.S we had a chance to take them to NYC local clubs and bars. this goes to prove that chivalry isn’t dead.
