Last weekend, during the VMAs, we were invited to the BBM Lounge Event Hosted by Xomad and RIMs BlackBerry in Los Angeles. This time, the event was held at an exclusive Bel Air mansion with celebs such as David Beckham, Ryan Phillippe, Jersey Shore cast mates Pauly D and Vinny Guadagnino, Akon, Jermaine Dupri, Michelle Bombshell, Christian TV, Ryan Cabrera, Christina Milian, Flo-Rida, Sean Kingston, Michael Yo, and Mekhi Phifer.



We sent Salomondrin to mingle with the stars and check out this fastly growing BBM party. While it took him over an hour and a half to finally get in (even though Sal is a star, at least to us!) he still managed to have plenty to drink and overall enjoyed himself. We're looking forward to more BBM events that may come up and help remind the celebs why they need to own BlackBerrys.

Last Saturday (August 7th) there was the first BBM Lounge Event, Sponsored by Research In Motion and thrown by Xomad. We got the invite, but unfortunately were not able to attend and meet Monique and the others behind this awesome event. Nevertheless, here are some of the photos and special guest list from the party.



Those who attended the BBM Lounge event could participate in BBMing for prizes, drinks, etc by simply scanning the many barcodes around the event.



There will be a second BBM Lounge event in September, which we are planning to attend. We should also have some VIP guest pass giveaways coming, stay tuned!
