I kicked my weekend off just as the sun was setting at the M/X Theatre thanks to the Order of Gentlemen – who reintroduced themselves to the nightlife scene with what I would call “happy hour and a movie” Friday night. The concept was really cute – including complimentary Gentleman Jack cocktails in the outer lounge area and a free screening of the new Chris Rock movie “Top Five.” I also loved, loved, loved the swagged out promo items that included a bowtie and cuff links among other things. I’ll take that over a key chain and shot glass any day of the week. Speaking of days, I think the success of the event would’ve been more resounding if the function had taken place before the movie actually hit theatres. Had that same event been on a Wednesday night, folks would’ve been lined up all eight flights that lead to the M/X screens because they would feel as if they were getting the ultimate sneak preview. And a complimentary sip or two on the side to top it off…what are you saying?! Even though the “when” element of it was challenge, the evening was still a nice mix of the young black professional crowd. I only say so because I’m here for The Order of Gentlemen and would love it if they have to politely decline entry for some folks because of capacity crowds.
