Last Friday, Traxx Atlanta & Traxx Girls held the Grand Opening of the multi-million dollar renovated Atlanta Live Nighclub now named Mansion Elan. After a near 3 month hiatus, over a 1,000 party goers came back to their familiar Friday night spot to find a totally renovated and brand new experience at Atlanta Live. With a line of people wrapped around the building early, patrons walked into the Mansion one by one to see a totally renovated foyer with 3 beautiful statues. Traxx and Traxx Girls also had a red carpet setup in the foyer sponsored by Nuvo where patrons could take pictures for the Grand Opening.
After leaving the foyer and entering the club, patrons were greeted with a rectangular bar in the middle of the floor with full service spirits and courteous bartenders. Waitresses were dispersed throughout the nightclub dance floor and VIP sections to provide hand delivered cocktails at the customer’s request. What use to be a stage made of harwood and decked with a few couches has now become a plush VIP stage for VIP customers and special guests with 4 VIP sections and an area for performances. Lisa Wu-Hartwell of the popular Bravo’s Real Housewives of Atlanta reality show was on hand and greeted the crowd as well as a live drummer boy who entertained the crowd throughout the night by playing the beats with the Urban tracks the DJ spun.
On the both sides of the club, the VIP sections were upgraded with Roman-like columns, plush VIP couches, and at least 4 flat screens for each side. Upstairs, the VIP section remained which allowed customer to have an aerial view of the nightclub and came catered with a personal VIP bar. With some amazing renovations, probably the most important things (DJ, staff, and the crowd) were all the still the same…crunk and partying until 5am!
It’s safe to say that the king of Friday night Atlanta nightlife for the LGBT community is back, Welcome Bakc Atlanta LIVE aka Mansion Elan…We’ve Missed You!

This past Saturday, Trina hosted the legendary Saturday night dance party at Traxx Nightclub in Decatur, GA. Fresh from Hot 107.9′s Birthday Bash, Trina made her way to the East side to party and take pictures with the kids. She stayed until almost the very end and didn’t turn away one fan when asked to take a picture, even when the stage got a bit overcrowded with fans trying to get a photo with the Miami rap diva.
Here are some shots from the night.

If you follow us on twitter, then you’ve probably already heard that over the weekend while out, our vehicle along with several other customer vehicles were broken into at Traxx parking lot. The thief stole a Macbook Pro and Ipod out of the trunk of the car by popping the door lock. That Macbook pro was pretty much the life of WhatsTheT.com with pictures, videos, and more from the past 2 years of events we’ve covered. We were in the process of debuting a brand new website that would chronicalize the black LGBT community and events.
The thief was caught by the Dekalb County police and most customer’s material was recovered. Unfortunately, we are still waiting for Dekalb County to confirm whether or not our Macbook was recovered. Until then, we are on limited Internet access for updating the site and hope to be back up and running within the next two weeks. We will do our best to keep the site updated but if you see periodical breaks on postings, you know the reason why.
As always, we appreciate your support and appreciate you logging on to WhatsTheT.com. Just as we have before, WhatsTheT.com will be back bigger and better!

As if every weekend in Atlanta isn’t a busy and festive one, this weekend in Atlanta was extra busy with YouTube Celebrity and Media Mogul B. Scott in town celebrating his Birthday, Traxx & Traxx Girls temporarily moving to Club Miami on Fridays, WassupNATL opening a brand new Friday night spot and Grand Closing Vita, there’s no way you could say there was nothing to do!!!
The weekend kicked off full speed on Friday as Traxx Atlanta and Traxx Girls hosted their Friday night Live party at Club Miami with a performance by Gorilla Zoe and LoveBScott hosting the event.
B. Scott then took a trip over to the brand new Club ATL where WassupNATL had their Sneak Peak of their new Friday night home. The club is spacious and has a light system out of this world!
On Saturday night, everyone flocked to Vita for the last night of LIV Saturdays hosted by WassupNATL. Unfortunately, the owner of the restaurant/club has decided to go in a different direction and with his new business plans he’s decided not to continue being host of parties anymore. Needless to say, the night was bitter/sweet for everyone as Atlanta said farewell to one of the most Grown & Sexy Saturday night parties Atlanta has had for men in a long time! WassupNATL stated that they would be announcing future Saturday night plans and will continue to bring the 21 & up Atlanta men quality partys.
So thats just a quick round0up with the weekend happenings. Of course we will do it all over again next weekend! Look out for us in Miami for the Winter Music Conference… HOUSE MUSIC! HOUSE MUSIC! HOUSE MUSIC!

So we told yall earlier, Monica rocked out Traxx this past saturday for their MLK weekend celebration and during her performance Monica’s one “ghetto eye” identified an altercation between two of the kidz in the audience.
Monica told the kids:
“Hold up for a second. Hold up for a second. Hold on. Yall good right there? Yall alright? Now yall know where I’m from so I know a problem when I see one! What’s the problem? I’m the resolution tonight! You okay? Ok, do I need to split yall up? Jonte (her security), come here. See they cant stop the party, the girls be getting into it. We gotta break up the altercation. Where the problem at? So this how we gonna do this. Ima do yall like I do with with my boys in the house because I know brothers still love each other but right now yall gotta separate till this show is over. You ok? Ok, you come closer to the front so we can enjoy the show because we Drama Free in this Bit&*! Ok, now you stay right and you have fun and Ima run this one back for you…ok? Alright, one more time Black (DJ) we got it!”
After things settled up, Monica explained she still had that one ghetto eye. She cleaned it up and she’s classy now but that one ghetto eye was showing her the altercation in the building so she wanted make sure it was settled the right way! This is why we love Monica!!!! lol
Check out this video of Monica performing “Before You Walk Out of My Life” and getting the girls right together!
This past Saturday, Traxx Atlanta hosted their Annual MLK celebration in Decatur, GA with a special performance by Atlanta’s own R&B diva Monica. A crowd of over 1500 was in attendance and partied until 5am.
Monica did a 20 minutes performance set of her old and new music including “One of them Days”, “Still Standing”, and “A Dozen Roses (You Remind Me)”, just to name a few. At one point in her set, Monica even played referee between two queens who were close to fighting. Monica also let the kids know that her new album “Still Standing” will be in stores this March and she would be going on tour with BET this summer! The athmosphere was soooooo right Saturday night! Check out these two videos of Monica performing “One of them days” and ”Everything to Me”

Saturday noon, they hosted a 1 hour fitness program at Golds Gym Downtown then headed over to the Renaissance for Xtreme Entertainment’s Annual Wet Dreams Pool party, and then lastly they ended up at Traxx Atlanta where Lil Kim performed.
Miss Sophia of V-103 was special guest host at Traxx on Saturday night and had a ball clowing with the guys. Check out the video below. Shout out to Charles and the gang for being good sports and always showing love for the kids!
