Last  Friday, the Miami Herald's Lesley Abravanel had noted in her Scene in the Tropics column that our dear friend and director of sales and marketing for the Eden Roc Hotel, Saun Lightbourne, was throwing his annual birthday charity fundraiser to benefit the Miami Children's Hospital at The Fifth. Saun had brought legendary international recording artist CeCe Peniston to perform live at his celebrity oriented birthday extravaganza. Yesterday in her regular Tuesday Miami Herald column, Lesley continued with the coverage of CeCe and wrote: "Spotted at Saturday's Deco Party at Marriott South Beach, house diva CeCe Peniston in town for a fundraiser at The Fifth, along with her long-time manager, James Inghram. They were having a cocktail at the pool terrace and grooving to the Ibiza-style vocal house beats of DJ/Producer Oren Nizri. After chatting for a bit, Nizri played two of Peniston's latest hits, to which the singer sang along. "That made the afternoon for the crowd and the party", Nizri told us". Thank you Lesley for the nice mention! Needless to say, CeCe did an amazing job at The Fifth that night, and Saun's birthday party was simply a blockbuster. Congratulations Saun, and happy birthday, again! www.cecepeniston.com

This past weekend nightlife ambassador Tony Guerra, his business partner Simley Boyd and their team had a great line-up scheduled for the grand opening of the long anticipated Aero Bar at 247 23rd Street, in Miami Beach. Based on a combined three decades of experience and contacts, Aero Bar inaugurated the 2 million dollar investment with an over the top party that was extremely well attended; so well attended to the point that the fire marshals had to stop the great set played by DJ Shawn Rudnick on Friday, June 6, at approximately 2 AM, and ordered everyone to leave the premises. Not only did the new club get closed for that night, but for the entire weekend. The Aero team sent a press release the next day with the apologies for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, things escaped their control, especially with the City of Miami Beach being very strict with the venues these days. However, Aero Bar hopes to re-open this weekend and I am sure they will be more than careful this time. To get all the details about their upcoming events, click on the web site www.aerobarmiami.com
