Common AfterParty


From Myspace busybody to 912 Red River Austin, TX, WhoUFeelin was on the scene to catch a glimpse of who was in attendance for the official Common after-party at Mohawk. Many local Dj's (Rapid Ric, Mike Swing, Chicken George), MC(Bavu Blakes, Crew 54), event promoters (BRMG), Matt Sonzala http://www.austinsurreal.com/, photographers (AList) http://www.austin360.com/ and celebrity performer, himself, Common were in attendance. It was a great party with a good turnout. Seeing friends from the past and hopefully future. Ladies were on the dance floor feeling the DJ and Common was in clear view with his crew, drink in hand and smile while he swayed to the beat of the tracks spinning by the DJ. The theme was "Keep It Local".
Mohawk located at 912 Red River is definitely a great venue for a party, www.mohawkaustin.com/events . Along WhoUFeelin's venture from Iron Cactus for some frozen margaritas priced at $7.50 a glass, WhoUFeelin found a new spot to kick it, Mail Box, right next to Spiro's. The lounge was inviting with two pool tables, a fairly large dance floor with mirrors to see yourself, a fully stocked bar, patron counters with bar stools to lean on, and most obviously, its something new to try. Mail Box is officially in business just two weeks open, check it out for yourself. Many locals forget to venture over to Red River with the congestion of the Salvation Army and homeless shelters so close by and the goth punk themed bars that align the alleys but Red River has a few well kept secret promoters that throw great parties with backyard ambiance.
