LA's Celebrity DJ AM to Rock Downtown

Just like the old disco proverb says, Thank God It's Friday. Finally, the weekend has arrived. It's been a long week at the grind for us here and we're sure it has been for you too. So with that said, the plan is to get dolled up, throw on our ultra-best and tear up the streets of downtown Hartford tonight!!!

We'll probably make our first stop at Koji for some pre-game debauchery. If you haven't been, we highly recommend it. Koji is a swank little bar/restaurant on Asylum that makes the meanest Scorpion Bowls this side of Tokyo. And if drinks aren't your thing, they have a menu full of lighter fare and plenty of Yakitori to choose from. Food and drink aside, we simply love how the place is always packed with people having (and looking for) a good time. There's just something so right about eating meat off a stick, drowning our faces in big bowls of jungle juice and watching Godzilla on the flatscreens throughout the room.

Not sure how it couldn't be, but if that isn't your scene, well perhaps getting freaky on the dance floor is. We're going to be complete starfu*kers tonight and head on over to the Emperor at the Linden for their one year anniversary party. For the big soiree they've brought in celebrity DJ AM (aka Adam Goldstein) from Los Angeles to rock the party. Don't expect to see Nicole Richie in tow, but we're sure you'll see Hartford's best trying their hardest to be oh-so-Los Angeles cool. Who knows, maybe AM's new Canadian supermodel Jessica Stam will be by his side. For those of you unfamiliar with AM's sound, he'll hopscotch across all genres of music and mash up a blend of hip-hop, rock, house music and even the occasional movie theme.

Make sure to bring your sunglasses, this one's going late night and it's bound to get ugly in a good way.

How was this party?

We went, we conquered.

Hats off to the people behind Emperor for putting on such a great party, but we think the high ticket price (rumors of a $50 advance ticket and $75 ticket price at the door) scared a lot of people away. Ouch.

DJ AM hit the wheels of steel shortly after midnight and threw down a bootylicious mashup of everything under the sun.

It wasn't the most crowded we've seen Emperor, which is really a crime. If 100 more people were there it might have reached that legendary-night-out status we were hoping it would have been.

Is it true the Emperor is in foreclosure?
