Chico Brenes DVS Shoe Release Party

It’s important to support your local stores in your neighborhood. It’s important that they continue to have you support even after the big chains like McDonalds, Wal-Mart, and 99 RANCH MARKET invade your neighborhood. For years, CHA CHA Lounge was a hangout for the citizens of Echo Park, Silverlake and Los Feliz to come relax and have a drink. If you’re unaware of these cities, they are part of Los Angeles. I remember passing the bar as a kid and remember seeing members from MI VIDA LOCA loitering outside the building. I thought to myself, “When I grow up, I want to go there and chill. Especially if I’m sad and depressed”. Well my dream has become a reality. Many years later, the Cha Cha lounge is still there despite the bigger and louder drinking venues infiltrating surrounding areas. Even though I’m not as depressed or sad as I thought I might be, the Cha Cha Lounge is always there for me to depend on when I need a $2 Tecate.

Unfortunately for me, more and more of the HOMIES are either staying home or growing older. And newer faces are frequenting Cha Cha every week. But I guess it’s not so sad because anyone who hangs out there knows that Thursday nights are skater nights. On any given week, you will see the likes of Mike Carroll, Brandon Biebel, Jeron Wilson, Rick Howard, and basically the entire Girl/Chocolate teams hanging out.

Tonight, DVS and LRG are hosting a party for CHICO BRENES for the release of his new skate sneaker. In addition, DJ Ako and DJ Atiba will be spinning. Oh yeah, and Thursday nights is when they play the best music as well. Check it!
