The night started quietly, with DJ Mook playing various R&B hits. “Lust the Lyrics” patrons filed into Room Service, and by 10:30 pm, the show had all but ended.

Dr. Latrelle Odom, known as the “Inspired who inspires,” shared her poem about using the past to motivate your present situation and assist your future.

Farrell Da Flo Poet, also known as, the WOLF (Working Our Life’s Frustration), shared two of his poems recited over music. These poems were presented in near song format and offered lyrics which presented struggle coupled with love, honor, and Family.

We then received a request from the audience to present a karaoke type song to her beau for his birthday. “Inseparable” by Natalie Cole brought the evening to a lovely close.

Of course, the “Lust the Lyrics” guests continued to eat, drink, and hookah. As stated on the first flyer, “Lust the Lyrics” guests are welcome to stay for the late night party.

Join us each Friday to enjoy the entertainment, dance, hookah, eat, drink, and participate.

June 21^st Black Rose Neo Rock band will join us again.

For the first time in five years, I stepped on a stage with a notebook in my hand. Three weeks later, I was on another stage, in front of instruments, performing three poems from my upcoming book “Water Cooler Gossip.”

Once the band returned to the Room Service Lounge stage, I knew that this was exactly what I envisioned. I danced with one of the performers during Black Rose’s version of Sade’s “Sweetest Taboo.” Once the band completed their second set, I invited Fate on stage to sing “Brown Sugar” with the band and perform a couple of his original songs.

The following day a Room Service Lounge patron wanted to know about the new open mic that takes place on Friday evenings from 8 pm until 11 pm. He asked me what makes “Lust the Lyrics” different from other open mics. I answered him by simply stating that “Lust the Lyrics” has:

• A live band
• An interactive audience welcome to eat, converse, dance, and listen during the performances
• Special events
• Artist features
• Professional artists prepared for the next level of performing
• Entertainment professionals to inform and assist the artists with their entertainment business

Keep track of “Lust the Lyrics” and everything it has to offer, including $15 hookahs and $5 food and drink menus.
