40oz Van brought his coveted “40oz Bounce” day party to D.C. for the first time and needless to say, it was an experience. Hosted by Rock Creek Social Club and Van himself, the bounce had Stadium nightclub (it’s been referenced a time or two) packed with artists, photographers, bloggers, dancers, and partygoers alike. Coincidentally, it was raining both inside and outside of the club, but that didn’t stop people from vibing out to dope sounds from Mista Selecta and Mane Squeeze, playing beer pong, (one with standard cups and the other with giant trashcans) politicking, watching gorgeous dancers, rocking to a Chaz French performance, and taking more selfies that humanly imaginable. 40oz Bounce acted as a catalyst to connect culture in a party environment that was not only packed with positive energy, but brought together a multitude of people with common interests. “More bounce than an ounce.”

Beyoncé sure knows how to hide a baby bump. Who says you can’t wear swimsuits when you’re pregnant? In the latest single off 4, she invites Solange, Kelly Rowland and featured guest J.Cole over for a major celebration. Looks fun. (This weekend couldn’t come any sooner)  We still don’t know the reason why Andre 3000 decided to skip the visual, but Cole’s verse is a nice replacement.

Looks like the next video from Beyonce‘s latest album is going to be the Andre 3000 feature: “Party.” The music video entourage was in New Jersey yesterday to shoot the film.  Kelly Rowland and Solange Knowles, B’s sister, were among the guests at the shoot.

Here are some pictures from the event. Is that a butterfly headband she’s wearing?
