Valley Social: Mick Boogie @ Hotel Theodore

My favorite DJ Mick Boogie will be gracing Scottsdale with his presence once again. Spend your 4th of July basking in the sun and enjoying the melodic sounds of this world renowned DJ. He will be at The Pool @ the Hotel Theodore from Noon - 6pm.

Valley Social: 1st & 3rd Thursdays @ Hotel Theodore

If the weekend club rush isn't your cup of tea look no further than 1st & 3rd Thursdays @ Hotel Theodore. Sponsored by My Underground Pass, this bi-monthly event features a laid back, hip hop feel with DJs in 2 rooms, 2 full bars and a gorgeous patio. I'm a sucker for location & atmosphere and this place has both. The crowd is diverse... picture the underground/indie music scene... and I would definitely add this to my list of local Scottsdale hangouts.

Cloud lighting fixtures in the hotel lobby. I was obsessed with these.

The launch featured performances by local AZ rappers/singers. Yes, I was slightly skeptical when they hopped on the stage because I'm always ready to pounce on "rappers" ..... especially "AZ wannabe rappers" but I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't catch the name of the first rapper in the video I shot but he had a nice flow (the catchy hook didn't hurt either).
