			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>We have lost another legend today, We at Grae bid a fair well to the lovely Eartha Kitt . She passed away today in New York City, She was a victim of cancer . We should be proud and excited for the mark that shes left in the fields of Music, Film, stage and screen. Ms Kitt lived to the very young age of 81 . she is survived by her daughter and 4 grand children. We thank you for teaching us what sex appeal and beautiful pair of legs can do . </strong></p>
<p><strong> Orson Wells referred to Ms. Kitt as &#8220;the most exciting woman in the world&#8221;. I know we all remember her infectiousness in the movie Boomerang. I&#8217;ll never forget when she called for Eddie Murphy &#8221; MArrrrcusssss Darllllingggg&#8221; lol, May god bless your sexy soul Madame Kitt. </strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #0000ff;">I&#8217;m a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight&#8230;..* If you grow up in Hawaii , raised by your grandparents, you&#8217;re &#8216;exotic, different.&#8217;</span></p>
<p>* Grow up in Alaska eating moose burgers, a quintessential American story.</p>
<p>* If your name is Barack you&#8217;re a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.</p>
<p>* Name your kids Willow , Trig and Track, and you&#8217;re a maverick.</p>
<p>* Graduate from Harvard law School and be President of the Law Review, and you are unstable.</p>
<p>* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you&#8217;re well grounded.</p>
<p>* If you spend 3 years as a community organizer, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor,  spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate&#8217;s Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate e representing a state of  13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran&#8217;s Affairs committees, you don&#8217;t have any real leadership experience.</p>
<p>* If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you&#8217;re qualified to become the country&#8217;s second highest ranking executive.</p>
<p>* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you&#8217;re not a real Christian.</p>
<p>* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you&#8217;re a Christian.</p>
<p>* If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.</p>
<p>* If, while governor , you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state&#8217;s school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you&#8217;re very responsible.</p>
<p>* If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family&#8217;s values don&#8217;t represent America&#8217;s.</p>
<p>* If your husband is nicknamed &#8216;First Dude,&#8217; with at least one DUI conviction and no college education, who didn&#8217;t register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA , your family is extremely admirable.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #3366ff;">OK, much clearer now.</span><a href="http://graeenterprises.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/no_bullshit.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-102" title="no_bullshit" src="http://graeenterprises.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/no_bullshit.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="400" /></a></p>

You better realize these real lies.. K.R.S. ONE&#8230;..<br />
I once read a book called &#8220;Who Moved my Cheese&#8221;, (BY Spencer Johnson) the premise of the book was to pay attention to your surroundings, and if you don&#8217;t the world will surely pass you by. With that in mind take this mental walk with me.</p>
<p>Grae Enterprises has been a recent victim of the establishments choice to rid its self of quality events for UNFAVORABLE reasons. Those of you have not been under a rock within the last year have easily heard of our event at the now known Level V. We were removed after making the venue over $250K in under a year. This in turn made me look at the state of &#8220;party life&#8221; in NY. Well maybe I should say what used to be the party scene.</p>
<p>Now isn&#8217;t it odd that within 2 little years the black and Latino community has lost some of its coolest party&#8217;s due to misguided owners, GM&#8217;s and a host of bureaucratic nonsense. Think about this, before Level V you had Freedom Friday&#8217;s at Star Foods (star 64), Wish 26 on Thursdays, and Serena&#8217;s. Now recently you have Strata on Friday&#8217;s and Deity in BK, which within a month of their opening was  lost. You have clubs like Mars 2112 stating to Black Promoters they don&#8217;t carry (wait for it) &#8220;HIP HOP Insurance&#8221;!! (WOW! &#8211; by the way people, it doesn&#8217;t exist). I am not a big follower of some of the more popular party&#8217;s, but as I&#8217;ve learned over the years there&#8217;s a place for everyone in our Gotham. The biggest issue is they (the establishment ) have the mind set that we are all &#8220;hoodlums&#8221; and worthless non- gratuity giving people and there is a general lack of understanding of our community. For example, they offer us crappy nights like Tuesday&#8217;s and Wednesday&#8217;s with very high bar guarantees and we still blow the party up under their premise of &#8220;Hey if they pop off we win if they don&#8217;t awe well there gone&#8221;.</p>
<p>Essentially the point I&#8217;m making is there is an extreme shift going on with the NY Night life for our culture. Think about it- where will you be able to go when the promoters have no spots to use and the DJ&#8217;s have no gigs to play? Then we will all be forced to be in the most unappealing, undesirable venue that&#8217;s left. We can control this! Imagine if all Event planners, promoters, etc. all decided to take 1 month off during the summer and had the DJ&#8217;s play only pop and non &#8220;Hip Hop&#8221; songs &#8211; they would loose there minds! Then who would the Yuppies and Socialites have to mimic? These are just my thoughts what are yours?</p>
<p>Keep it GRAE and Collective</p>
