I did not bring a pen in, so all of this is off the top of my head.
Da Mixx Band
This was my first time seeing them. They were performing Jill Scott's He Loves Me (Lyzel in E Flat) as I walked in. I also recognized: T-Pain Featuring Yung Joc's Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin'), Fabolous' Make Me Better, and Rihanna's Umbrella. They performed an instrumental James Brown cover at the end.
They sounded good.
Sharon, Juanita, Darrell, Tracy, James, Tracie (Model Chick), Trina, Toya, Tasha, Danielle (Wellfhed, celebrating her birthday) and her sister Che're, Eye Candy, That44dog, Nakia, Big Bossman Ian of Brandywine (celebrating his birthday), Rachelle, Gary, Peg Leg, NeeNee, Kia, Marquita, Tricia, Angie, and Skaci were there.
