Tonight, after blogging, I jetted down to Hiro Ballroom to check out one of my favorite singers Elle Varner.  When I walked in Jas Fly was interviewing Elle, and I jumped in to ask her a few questions about her new LP as well as one of my favorite records of hers titled, ‘Not Tonight’.  The concept of the song is about Elle wishing she could approach a guy, but it’s just not happening ‘Tonight’.  She told me, she wrote the track about a guy that use to be in her class at NYU. She also dished on how she met Alicia Keys former manager Jeff Robinson and a guy discovering her singing in coat check.  Such a sweet spirit!
After the interview, we ran to Pop Burger for some grub before heading back to Hiro for the show.  I saw some familiar faces like Cherry Martinez, Stephen Hill, Jeff Robinson (Elle’s manager), DJ ProStyles (who was on DJ duties) and Miguel.
The show was quick and I was home in bed by 11:30. My kind of night.
