Hundreds of people turned out for the 14th annual Friends ‘N’ Family pre-Grammy party on a soundstage at Paramount, grooving to the music on two separate stages–including sets from Taryn Manning, Jermaine Dupri, Yelawolf, Caroline D’Amore and Dirty Vegas.
The mood was lively but chill on a warm winter night, the official start of Grammy weekend with a host of parties leading up to the big event Sunday.
It wasn’t all about the music. The crowd was served generous half-size burgers from Fatburger, fresh popcorn, cupcakes and enough Red Bull and UV vodka to fuel a very late night. The only fly in the ointment: looong lines at the bathroom trailers, which offered another opportunity to mix and mingle.
