  Speaker 1: were the femcis, so we introde, you know, introduced everybody,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: welcomed everybody to the party. Um, and then we also
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: introduced the amazing talent the heads that were there. Who
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: was there? Well, first we had the one and only Donna, Yes,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: she performed. She sang off of her Toddle mixtape, that
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: her EP that came out recently. And if you were remember,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: we actually Femci Dona's EP release parties like full Circle
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Cull Circle. And I actually was wondering Priscilla, like, how
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: did you come about finding the talent, deciding who you
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: were going to bring to perform, to play? How did
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: that process work for you? Guys? Well, what we do
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: is we we prepare almost like six months before the
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: season starts. The season starts every summer, and our first
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: one was in Um in April. So UM we knew
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: mey was gonna be tough because we thought, okay, Memorial
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: that weekend, people are out of town and so UM
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: my husband, which is one of the partners, David Um,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: he had a really good idea and said, you know what,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: there's this is a perfect opportunity to bring other crews
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: or other um, other people from other areas and um
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: we usually bring like bands and and DJs, and we said,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: why don't we do this a full on DJ show,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: and then we thought, what a great idea to bring
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: fems in because um, of all of every musicians and
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: DJs and and seas and um, and we just thought,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: you know what, women are just as strong and powerful
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: and and just as talented as men are. You hardly
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: see them out promoting themselves or you know, maybe in
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: their area or there in their communities. And we said,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: this is a perfect opportunity to get them out, bring
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: them out, and you know what, to a wider audience,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: to a wider audience. And we've gone and seeing we've
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: listened to every one of you guys before we even
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: decide to say, hey, let's let's bring them out. And
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: you ladies are I'm sorry but like, thank you, thank
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: you so much. I'm flattery. And Bona's voice was ridiculously amazing.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: So we're just like, she's definitely a must. We have
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: to bring her out. And with you two and then
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: with the d days Um Sizzle and Jazzabella, it was
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: like a perfect combination. It was like, really, I see
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: that that was just like delicious Sizzle Fantastic. Yeah, like
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: if she's there, Abella too, But if Sizzle Fantastic is
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: at the party, it's going to be a crazy party.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: And you know what, go online and check out what
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: every one of them wore. They guys all represented with
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: the colors and vibe and just vibrants. It was. It
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: was awesome. Yeah, super unique to everyone brought their own flavor. Yes,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: absolutely to the body. So I loved it. Um, So
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: tell us a little bit more, tell us a little
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: more about yourself. What you do. How did you get
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: into party planning, organizing us every new event? Yeah, okay,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: I was doing this since I was twenty one years old,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: and I well, actually I used to be a go
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: go dancer. Tell us everything. So I used to live
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: up north in the Central Valley Fresno area, and yes, yeah,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: and so I used to Um, I used to be
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: in the night scene and I used to love it. Um.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: And I love to dance and I love music. I
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: loved house. Music was my number one thing. And sure
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: enough I had a promoter coach me and say you
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: want to be a go go dancer? And I said sure.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: And I met David throughout that process and he was
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: starting out Djane. So just like a little by little,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I asked the promoter, Hey can you get David in?
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: And he played David Slack at that time in five minutes.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I love being honesty, thank you. Hey, we all got
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: to start some more bad or good? Oh yeah, and
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: we know we get it right, so just time when
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: on we got married, and um, David practiced every day
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: and knew he had to practice every day to get
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: you know, to get better and um and of course
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: as his wife and his partner, I had to support him.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: And that's where I learned, Hey, I got I can.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I'm good at meeting people and I'm great at communicating
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: and being a host. So little by little he started
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: playing a nightclub US and we started playing for um
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Gay Bar and we were there for four years four
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: just I know, actually you don't, I want to say
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: for seven years up north and I was the hostess
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: of the night and we used to have like four
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: plus people there. And then a little by little we
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: started our own events. Remember when raves were really big
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: and David was back then he was like what you
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: guys considered here rebels. Okay, you were like the the
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: hardy Davidson bella Morsey shirt and like the little pompadour
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: and okay, I love that. So um. With that being said, um,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: we like, I said, we used to do the raves
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and so as long as we've been married twenty twenty
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: one years, we it's just something that we've always loved.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: We've always done. And then we moved here to l
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: A in two thousand and three and said, how do
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: you reach a community here? You know, we had to
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: learn from the bottom up to see what the differences
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: in what where people were at musically, and you know,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: and little by little we just we met different people
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: and realize that it's a smaller community than you think. Yeah,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: everybody knows everybody. Everybody knows everybody, and once you're in,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: you just it just blossoms and it grows. And and
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the way La Juna started, it started with myself and
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: two girlfriends and we said, uh, we said, what do
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: we like to do? We like to dance, we like
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: to party. We like to um uh sorry, I know
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: my friend Hite saying party. We liked it little even
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: but I said, no our pod party. So um, I said,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: what's the best thing to do? We we all said
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: let's do it. Let's do something that's on a Sunday
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: or Saturday and do it during the day, you know,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: because we do other things at night. And at that time,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: the only real person that we knew that really DJed
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: was my husband. We're like, hey, can you be our DJ.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: You come on, you know, play like really funky Afro Latin,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: you know, cumbias, uh, you know, just stuff that we
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: like to dance to. He's like, okay, but you guys
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: gotta help me, you know, you gotta help me promote

• 9:12
  Speaker 1: in Pasadena Cool. This was about four years ago, no,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: actually five years ago and um, and so we did
• 9:21

• 11:05
  Speaker 1: You guys were part of that. You guys made it happen.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I know I should be saying this
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: out loud, but it was our best one yet, no way.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: It was the female women are in control of the thing.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Beautiful things happened, Amazing feats are published. It was something
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: that I noticed that I was sharing with them, Priscilla,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: is that while I went to the restaurants on Chant
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: that I heard someone say, like, there are so many
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: women here, right, It's this a feminist event. All the
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: DJs are women. And they were like they were saying
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: it and like, oh my god, that's so dope kind
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: of way, you know, And I was like, yes, it is.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: It's amazing. Yeah, So people really noticed, you know, that
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: women were being highlighted, especially that night. Yeah, you know what,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: And we definitely, we definitely are inspired by you women.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: We are. I'm inspired by you guys as I'm the
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: only women in our you know, our collaboration. Um, but
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: the men, they respect me. They listened to what I
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: have to say. They totally. I mean, they're they're just
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: on board. And this the way, the reason it worked
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: out so well is because we know that you guys
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: aren't just women. Yours are talent. You guys are talented
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: just like us. We're talented. Bringing them together and you know,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: race color, female, male, it didn't matter because you guys
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: are good at what you do and the DJs were
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: good at what they did and you know, um, and
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: it helped out that it was a feminite. But you know,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: I just I think it was more than that. I
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: think it was more that you guys are just you know,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: you guys are good at what you do and you
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: guys and people know that and they follow you guys. Right.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you. You are so sweet. I'm so
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: excited that we got to work with you. And you know,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: I think that there is I don't know too much
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: about like history of parties. I guess we'll call it that.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: I feel like there are a number of different events
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: that do try to cater to women and sent your
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: women on a regular basis basis, and I think it's
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: because they see that women will come out and the
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: party will be fun. Like last night we went to
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: this party with with like the Mommy Collective, with Yes
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Gun Merits and everybody, and we were at the Ecoplex
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: at the party called Baby Girl, and it was just
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: so much fun and it was very very very predominantly
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: like women that were there in attendance, and it was
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: just like the energy. I feel like, it's just so
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: up and it's so positive, you know, because we want
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: to dance, you want to have a good time, We
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: want love, We have to look pretty. We love to
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: like just um And that's what I love about art.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Event I love colors, so I the guys really doesn't
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: even to say no, Lata needs to be about bright colors.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: And because honestly, I feel safer when I know it's
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: not so dark work and it's not so um so
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: just male oriented and just it was like with them,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm getting I'm losing the train of thought.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: But I personally look at it like if for me
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: going out as a woman, what do I want to see.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I want to see people dancing. I want to have
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: people fun having fun. I want to have a little drink.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: If I want to have a drink without worrying someone's
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: like gonna take advantage of me exactly how can I
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: feel right? There's a lot to be said. I think
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: about like the gender dynamics of party. Yeah, and there's
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: like politics of partying and when you're at the party
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: and like safety, fun atmosphere, like attitude, all of that.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: I feel it can be very political. And it's interesting
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: how you like, as a party planner and someone who
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: does events, how you can really shape and mold that. Yeah. Well,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I'm going to give you an example and I'm not
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: gonna use anything, but the day on Sunday, as women
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: were leaving, there were some women that were leaving and
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: I had a gentleman that was whistling like, hey, where
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: are you going? Where you going? Like whistling, whistling. David,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: one of the partners, stopped them and said, hey, don't
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: do that. You know, we don't do that. Do that here.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: We want the women to feel comfortable. Don't don't. I
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: hate saying this, but don't cattle call them, you know,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: because that's not that's disrespecting them. And we don't believe
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: in disrespect. We believe in making sure you guys are safe,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: that we're all safe no matter what you know. Um,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: And that's the kind of stuff that we look out
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: for and we want to make sure that we do
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: not have that there. That's great, and you know that's
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the thing like clubs and parties can be very aggressive places,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: hostile places. You can get grabbed and groped and all
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: kinds of things. Right, it's awful, it's awful, right, But
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: there's also this flip side were like the security does
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: not always intervene. Right, the whoever is they're hosting the
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: party and putting the party together or is at the club,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: is not like putting forward expectations like what you just
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: described for like men in attendance. So that's really interesting
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: that like the people who put the party together, who
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: orchestrate it, have a lot of control in a lot
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: of ways over how guests are treated. They don't treat
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: each other, they really do. And if you don't, if
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: we don't, as the one store in the party, it
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: will be seen and it will be noticed and people
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: will be like, you don't what, I don't want to
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: go there? It's not saying it's a space, yeah, yeah,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: because you know when you're when you're even when you're
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: at a club, maybe not necessarily like an event, but
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: just at a club and you're like, the I don't
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: like the vipe here. You can you walk in and
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: you can already feel it. We had that experience next
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: door one time. I mean it wasn't the bar owners
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: or anything, that there was someone there that was just
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: being very aggressive towards us. God, let's tell the stories.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Tell the story. So we were there and we were
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: as always minding our own business as always have our
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: drink looking fly a. Yes, we were finding and minding
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: oro own business. We were sitting on the bar, we
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: were talking to each other, we weren't taking up any space.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: We were just being and this really really really drunk
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: guy like stumbles over to us, and he was a
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: very big, like broad shoulder, like a big man. And
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: we're not that tall, like I'm five ft four right exactly,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: so and we're sitting and so he comes and he
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: must have been like I don't know, like at least
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: maybe six ft. He was big, and so he was
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: super sweaty too, because he was so drunk, and he
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: was like slurring his words, and he came over and
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: like basically like fell on top of he was like
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: over he was like on So while we were sitting
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: so we ben smaller, right, Yeah, and his like sweat
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: was like getting on me. It was awful. And he
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: was like getting mad that we didn't want to talk
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: to him and that I wanted I was shoving him away. Yeah,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: I think she went like that, go away, push your
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: hand towards him, like stop, yes, And then he started
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: like cussing and he kept coming back, going and coming back.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: It was awful. He said something like y'alling que anyway,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: yeah said anyway, and we're like, okay, sure, yeah, you're right,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: you're right, We're not cute. Yes, that's why you that's
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: why you keep coming up to us over and over. Yeah.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: So I mean obviously a lot of folks you know,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: go to East Side Love definitely not we're not talking
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: about them. But you can be at somewhere that maybe
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: you think is a community space, right, These people, the
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: people that I'm friends with, they go out here. It
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: should be safe here, but then you can have one
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: bad experience and you don't want to go back there. Yeah.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: And you know, I'm not saying that every event is perfect,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: but as like like we were talking about as promoters
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: and and hopefully other like ore, there's other of course,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: there's other friends that we have there, and hopefully they
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: understand what we're about. And we're hoping by the way
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: we are and the way we represent ourselves that they'll
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: represent that too. So they see that, they'll stop it.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: They'll stop it, you know, And and that's it. Trickles,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, you know who you are, will represent
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: your party. Yeah, I love it. I love it. Oh
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: my gosh. There's so much, so much as far as
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: events and whenever people come together. I think there's just
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: a lot going on there. People don't realize that a
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: lot that happens, a lot of networking, there's a lot
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: of way. Yeah, look at we networked yet absolutely, and
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: we also did networking at the party. We did. Part
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: of our role as SMCS part as local was to
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: interview partygoers, people that were there that were having a
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: good time, and we asked them a very simple question, um,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: what they thought they're the ingredients were for a perfect party? Yes? Yes,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: and so we're going to actually play for you guys.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Some of the interviews that we did, um, while we
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: were at the party, we were just walking around and
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: it was really cute because at the beginning we were
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: entrusted with making announcements like people's birthdays. Somebody was turning seventy.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: That was beautiful. That was so cute. And she was
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: dancing the whole time she was there. I'm sure she
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: was so So we like also celebrated and talked about
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: some people were graduating, some someone was moving to the
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Dominican Republic to make a documentary. A bunch of birthdays. Yeah,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: we had mom and daughter birthdays. Yeah, that was beautiful.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: There were people there from New Zealand's New Zealand, Philadelphia,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: and New Jersey. Yes. So one of the interviews that
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: we did, we actually did an interview with our favorite
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: ms Dona. Um. So we're gonna play a little bit
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: of that for you. I wonder if you can play
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: it without this you can hear it. I think it'll
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: pick up. Okay, stand by, we're sticking. We're on standard
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: stand for having technical difficult usually pretty usually can happen.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: It happens here a brown or our look at the
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: a radio. Okay, ask your name where you're from the
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: ingrains with the perfect party. My name is Dona. I'm
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Familla and the ingredients for a perfect party. So Natila,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: I'm working. Oh my god, that's one of our interviews. Yes,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: and that was what was our question for all of
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: our our guests. Yeah, so name of course, name where
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: they're from, and the ingredients for a perfect party and
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: what do you think what do you guys think are
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: the ingredients for the perfect party? Okay? Um, this is
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: a little bit of our secret sauce along and I
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: can't give away a lot of it. Okay, I'll give
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: you guys some of the points. Um, definitely, who we are,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: who the promoters are, you know, the person alities that's
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: going to be that's major, and how they get along.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Another one is music musicum, and looking at the party
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: through the dancers perspective. Perspective. Yeah, that this is for
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: me and drinks. Drinks, drinking, Sorry, I know, but it's true.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: If you can feel comfortable being somewhere and having a
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: glass to yourself and not worrying about you know, but
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: yet you can stop people take care of you, you
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: tend to have a better time and you don't. I'm
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: not saying you have to drink, you don't, but I
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: do think like a little or a little cocktail on
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: the side. We agree, we tend to agree, but drink
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: a little drink um, maybe some food and good company.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Love it. I agree with everything. What I would add
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: is a place to sit, because that's someone that was
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: really really big heels all the time. I want to
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: get my I want to get my dance on shaking mass,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: but can also be able to sit when maybe I'm
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: not feeling the music and my feet are hurting, right,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: I don't. I'm definitely not not the one that will
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: take off her shoes no, no, never, never never to
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: get home exactly, but I would like like a place
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: to sit. I think that that is a really key ingredients.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: If you want women to have a good time at
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: your party, if you want fems, anybody who wears heels
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: to have a good amateur party, then you need some seating. Agreed.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Which was so nice because we actually had a cabana
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: that day at the party. So it was great because
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: we could you know, go take a sea, have our drink.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: We could also leave our drink there because we were
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: all there, right, so we weren't worried about anything. You know.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: It was definitely very safe in that way, and that
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: was not us being able to have a place to sit. Absolutely. Yeah,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: let's hear from our other guests that party, guess what
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: they thought the ingredient for the perfect party? Okay, chance
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: that I can you tell us your name? Your friends?
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: I want to catch on here to day. I'm sure
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: my baby's blue. I'm from LFE and I came to
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: one of my best friends and one of the most
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: challenged people I know. Um, Dona. She's up cussing and
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: she's been working hard for all her life. And oh
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: well there's that. So there's that. So that was another
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: guest that was Lulu. She was so cute. She was
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: there supporting Dona. Um. Let me see, I don't think
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: that we got to her. She's getting your leg and
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: I'm so proud of her. You know what I remember
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: now she actually did not want to share the ingredients
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: for a perfect part because she was nervous. She was like,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: I can't see her right now. So we're like, okay,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: so what brought you out here today? So she talked
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: about Dona. You're right, that's what happened. Yeah. So there's
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: also one that we tailored a little bit because sound
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: and we're not going to share it because the sound
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: quality wasn't that good. But there was someone they're celebrating
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: her birthday, So we asked her what she thought the
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: perfect birthday outfit was and she said florals. She said,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: a ton of florals. My friends, that's like the perfect
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: birthday and birthday gets together for me. Yes, yeah, absolutely,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Should we try another interview? Yeah, definitely are. The guests
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: were so cute and they were like willing to talk
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: to like at please tell us your name than party,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: ingredients party party, I love it, thank you beer? Yeah,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: I love and I love a good opinion forty. She's
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: so big even though she's from self exactly to recap.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: She said, ingredients for the perfect party is pizza E
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: forty and I p a that party. Please invite me
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: to that party. Yeah, Gotto does love the Bay area.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: She does. She she goes hard for the Bay and
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: they appreciate her for you. I think, Yeah, drinks are
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: really important to me as well at a party. I
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: also really appreciate when like venues are really awesome, and
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: I like venues that have some type of outdoor option
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: or a patio option. Yes, I always love a patio,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: always love a patio. We need to more seating, more seating. Well,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping we hope that provides that, um I know,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: we have cabanas, and we have the fireplaces, and we
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: have um I know, we have open seating to the right.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: And we did have a little bit of problem with
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: the bar because like we almost hit like capacity up
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: on the rooftop, which was awesome. So looking one thing
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: about life without what we do is we try to
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: see what's what could we make better And because of
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: this this event, we said, you know what, We're going
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: to open a sidebar to help people get a drink
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: and feel um And I'll have to be waiting for
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: thirty twenty minutes for a drink, absolutely because that a
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: girl in heels right again, Yeah, and then yeah, because
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: it's if you're wearing heels. It's one thing if you're dancing,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: you're good, right, But when you start to stand still
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: and you're waiting, that's when it hurts because all the
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: way it just goes right to your feet. Yes, So
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: we try to take all that into consideration and we
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: tried to um, Like I said, we can't make a
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: party perfect, but we try to make it pretty close
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: and pretty comfortable. And I did like the venue that
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: you all were, you know, used don't shunt it because
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: I feel like if a party is on a rooftop,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: it gives it so many points, like automatically, you know,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: it adds so much to the party, just like because
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: of the nature of the rooftop, it's cool. So I
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: love rooftop parties and that's one of the reasons why
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: I always look forward to summer in l A. Is
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: all the rooftop parties. Yes, yes, it's like you have
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: to go to at least one if you're here, And
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: that's why we we make it very um special to
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: come out. That's why we only do it once a month,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: the last Sunday of the month, all the way until September,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: and we have amazing guests coming up for the next
• 28:14
