Asher Roth:"Asleep in the Bread Aisle" Release Party
As most of you know, Asher's album was released yesterday (4/20), so of course there was a party in celebration for the release of, "Asleep in the Bread Aisle" (and for all of the 4/20 smokers).
There was a thunderstorm all day yesterday, so I was really second guessing attending this event. But, I'm pretty familiar with New Yorkers to know that whether in rain or snow, the party must go on. So I drove through the typhoon towards Hotel Rivington where the party was being held, and boy am I happy I didn't let the weather stop me....
As soon as I arrived at The Rivington, I knew there was going to be an issue getting inside the party. I heard people yelling "But, I'm on the list!" and watched as many people were turned away. ATF wasn't on the list either (WTF!) but fortunately a friend of mine was running the door and let me in.
The party was held in the penthouse suite of the hotel, and as I exited the elevator I was expecting to walk into a room full of smoke (knowing how Asher gets down). But to my surprise, the smell of the "herb" was very faint, and the penthouse was absolutely gorgeous with windows overlooking the city. I felt like I was on top of NYC, lol.

Anyway, first things first--I went straight to open bar, and chuckled at the "Asher Roth" plastic red cups. The atmosphere was great; DJ M.O.S was on the 1's and 2's playing old school music mixed in with some tracks from Asher's album. (I was too hype everytime he played "Lark on my Go-Kart". ) You could tell when Asher walked in because the press went crazy. All I saw were the "flashing lights" and crowds of people, never saw Asher himself. Oh well...

Overall, had a great time.
