THE EXCUSE PARTY
9 p.m., Juanita’s. $10
Those Conduit Ent. dudes return to the party scene with what not too long ago they called “The Chill,” a night of mixing and mingling and music, with lots of bells and whistles. The formula remains unchanged save the addition of fashion. That added with the music and mingling apparently equals “the perfect excuse to kick it.” Particularly when Korto Momolu’s latest designs are involved. Her line and the latest from Pine Bluff ladies wear boutique DimeOne feature. On the music side, R&B crooner Sean West and rapper/jack of all trades Epiphany plan to drop an exclusive mixtape at the show. They’ll also be performing, Epiphany with his live hip-hop band One Night Stand, which features the rich vocal stylings of Gina Gee, and West with trumpet standout Rodney Block and his soulful, funky band, the Real Music Lovers. As usual, there’ll be door prizes.
