This Saturday, Mark Farina graces the decks at Mojito on the Moshulu. Mark is direct from San Francisco and I absolutely love when he comes in. Real fun, jazzy house music, perfect for dancing on a boat. I did some digging and found a set he did at WMC this year to get you in the mood.
Mojito with residents Brendan Bring’em and DJ Dirty. $10 on the list til 12, complimentary red bull and vodka 10:30 - 11:30. Sign up for the list and then skip the line after printing out the pass.
The Rum Bar is not only downstairs from me…it also offers up 1/2 priced Mojitos on Monday nights. I can’t get enough of the Cucumber Mojito. MMMojitooooooo….
So, it’s all about boat parties this summer. First up is Where is Me Booty At? on the Liberty Belle. Starting June 9th, everyone’s favorite Saturday night party, including Terri Hatcher, Mojito will be held on the Moshulu. The Moshulu was built in 1904 and is “the largest four-masted sailing ship in the world still afloat.” The name Moshulu was selected to honor Seneca tribe of Native Americans after being renamed by President Wilson’s wife.

Brazilian dancers and musicians from the acclaimed group Ala Brazil as well as Mojito resident DJ Lucas Rivera and drummers Carlos & Kiki from Mojito. Get on the list here for $5 entry, $10 not on the list.
Okay, I swear to god I’m not making this up. I was on an American Airline’s plane yesterday and I’m bored, so I’m flipping through the on-flight magazine called American Way (seriously, this is how bored I was). Terri Hatcher is on the cover and there’s this interview where she talks about Philly and what she likes to do here. So far, so good. I’m reading and she says: “Philadelphia primarily has a lounge and hip-hop scene, but there are a few really great dance scenes. The best is a Saturday-night party that’s thrown all summer, called Mojito, and hosted by Tommy Up. The party is in the courtyard of an office skyscraper in Commerce Square with a huge fountain, great live house music, and guest DJs…A small restaurant, Marathon Grill, supports the party. It’s a great time and a great crowd.”
Um…Terri Hatcher has a crush on me, WTF? I get all excited and start showing this old couple next to me. I’m jabbing at her picture and going, “She likes me! Look she just said my name! I’m gonna go to LA and make out with her and we’re gonna make babies!” They got excited for me but they thought it was the mom from The O.C., but whatever…I’m so famous on American Airlines now it’s ridiculous.
