Review of Curtain Call J.King's perspective

Curtain Call 8.13.10 at Entourage

It’s no surprise the NSU architect major would be interested in blueprints. While many may focus only on the finished product, or in the case of some promoters which are focused mainly on the money, J. King of King Productions is interested in setting the standard in event planning.

The Blueprint premiered on May 23, 2010 which was the his first installment on the Blueprint Trilogy and also marked the first time King worked with Patman Williams of Royal Court Promotions. It was an instant success which led to The Blueprint 2, Diplomatic Summer, and Curtain Call. King approaches event coordinating in a way he says is lacking from the rest. “Creativity is none,” he said hours before Curtain Call. The event was held at Entourage August 13th, 2010. “We had a hell of a run this summer.” King says working with Royal Court is a “good connection” because of their similar dedication and being privy to innovative concepts.

He believes new ideas and a focus on the business of promotion is critical, especially in this area. “This isn’t DC. If you throw a party and it’s wack and then somebody comes behind you and throws a party at the same place, people might not come out because of that.”

Armed with well thought out events and concepts, King aims to show how creativity, loyalty, professionalism, and devotion to trendsetting should be the foundation for successful parties. “We want to promote the whole package differently,” he says. So don’t look for a million invites and a blown up inbox for any of his parties. But do look for hot flyer designs, lines down the block, sold out events and a good time. And Curtain Call did not disappoint.

The Friday preceding Curtain Call shows you the effectiveness of King's strategic planning. "There where 150 people in the club" says one Entourage patron "literally." But Curtain Call at Entourage had well over 100 people waiting outside for the chance to get in after the club hit capacity at Midnight. The party was hosted by Linwood Johnson and The JUICE CREW who once in the VIP got the club hype! The Juice Crew's frontman demanded the microphone from Linwood which he traded for one of the ten bottles of Rozae purchased exclusively for the VIP patrons. After that, it was a night to remember, the energy from the Juice Crew on the Mic triggered a domino effect that spread to the DJ then back onto the entire club. Everyone in the club thought they were Big Meech or Larry Hoover (which ever one you like) when "BMF" by Rick Ross was spun. Bottles of Rozae continued to pop as "Lose My Mind" by Young Jeezy played next. "This s*** crazy, way too packed" -Jeezy is an understatement.
