Hell yeah its shady! That's f*$@ed up D. The fact that his name is also Darryl adds a bit of irony to the situation. He could have at least had the balls to CALL YOU! A text would have been punk ass but decent. What?! No free nights/or weekends on his phone plan? Won't be spreadin any at Club Love...ever! Oh, well his loss. I'm sure your making the best of the weekend. Whoo Hoo! Finally you'll be in my neck of the woods. I was starting to think you had something against the Midwest. Hope to see you. Enjoy your weekend n have some fun.

Have a blessed and safe holiday weekend!!!

Wha? You're leaving CA to go pride somewhere else? I'm from the midwest, and I can GUARANTEE that it's gonna be so much better here, especially with the state supreme court ruling.
;-)

I can't wait for SF pride.
It's gonna be NUTS!!!

Sorry about the flake. I can forgive a lot, but ... not inconsideration. That's just rude.
:-/

Have a good time in Mpls, regardless. And, fyi, not to be bitchy or anything, but ... Minneapolis is a notoriously superficial and REALLY slutty town. I'm sure I don't have to say this, but ... be careful anyway.
*hugs*
 

He deserved to be put on blast...and then some!!! I'll leave it at that in case there are children or religous people reading this.

 

Oh Thats A Mess.....
 

Now see...that's why I waited til the last minute to see if you were really coming to this side of the continent and I'M GLAD I DID!!! I'm just gonna have to make my way out to Earthquakeville and catch you on Robertson or something dammit! :(
 

Gimme that nigga's number boots.....I'll blow his shit up till he answers, then he's gonna know that was a fucked up stunt.....see you soon...

CAN'T WAIT TO ACTUALLY MEET YOU IN PERSON ...

LOVE YOU!

L.J.

 

Hello Beautiful "D", I am so sorry your event was not held this weekend. I had even called my friends in DC to make sure to attend Club Love to see your gorgeousness. Mr Darryl, it seems in the future you may wish to consider having a lawyer draft a contract for each and every event appearance that is proposed to you so that people won't take advantage of you again. I am sure that you made the best out of your weekend anyway. You seem to just keep it moving in spite of. (Your UC Berkeley friend one to another, Kim (email:2gojis@2gorjis.com)I loved for you to say hello.

 

OMG! I'm crying right now. I cancelled my plans to see you. I was actually at a Daryl Wilson party last night and it was interesting. He was venting about a few things, and I felt bad for the brother honestly. I knew nothing about you guys being in DC. I thought it was a rumor when I first heard about it yesterday, then I saw you guys on a flyer last night, along with Stephanie Mills. My friends teased me about how excited I was about getting a chance to see you—as I stated, “if I die, know that I died with a smile on my face.
”

So yeah, I’m pretty bummed. Don’t think I’m going out tonight actually. If possible, come to NY pride, please.


Hopefully you are enjoying your weekend despite all of this….
~Danielle
 

Well Darryl what you do in the dark comes to light at some point right ? Keep the volume High for noise like this !

Steven
 

Damn, that is some real BS!! I was not in DC and I was supposed to be having dinner with friends, and thought possibly I might see you there. But, plans changed and I went to another dinner and still had a good time.
Isn't there some legal recourse you can take for having your image used to promote an event, and you not being compensated?!!
 

Well D, you're not the only one he slighted.. not that you were.. He had alot of people waiting in the hotel lobby on Friday for their VIP PayPal purchased tickets. They kept calling him, and callin him only to be sent straight to voicemail. I know this much because I was there in the lobby with a friend waiting on his tickets. It was 3pm, still no show.. the "kids" began to carry.. they were asking the front desk about an scheduled event that was suppose to start at 3pm in one of the main rooms in the lobby.. they were told that there are no scheduled events at this hotel that they know of.. then I hear that alot of the events he had scheduled elsewhere were cancelled.. The saga continues..
 

ONCE AGAIN.... DC'S PRIDE JUST WASN'T THE SAME WITHOUT YOU. CONTINUE 2 KEEP US POSTED ON YOUR UPCOMING EVENTS.

 

SHYT I know thats right!
 

You are not alone. She turned me as well. The phone calls began early October as she begged me not to go to Sizzle Miami. I reluctantly agreed and waited eagerly for my deposit. It never came! Wilson ignored my phone calls, emails and texts. I got over it and sent him one final message on 2/1/08 telling him to stop advertising me but he didn't. Karma is a bitch ,his events and host hotel were a mess to say the least.
I have learned a very valuable lesson this past weekend, if it smells like bullshit ---it is!
 

Hello Daryl,

I am sorry to hear that this happened to you. I am a member of DC Black Pride and we have gotten the same response from entertainment that was booked for Chocolate City Fest. I would first like to express, that Black Gay & Lesbian Pride Day, Inc. aka DC Black Pride is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization and is no way affiliated with Chocolate City Fest or any other party promoters. DC Black Pride was established as a way to raise funds for HIV/AIDS organization and has always maintained its integrity in supporting the community. Our organization is solely run on sponsorship dollars and is the result of hardwork from dedicated volunteers, such as myself.


When I became aware of a festival that was basically a duplicate of things we do each year from a promoter that we have allowed to come into our space, promote his events, sell his tickets ---all for his personal gain - I was a bit upset. While I respect him for planning hot parties and events, I do not necessarily agree with his business ethics. The brotha can put together a party, but this year was a total slap in the face to an organization who has been about the community for 18 years.


We work hard to do what we can with what we have and many people do not understand the work and more importantly the money it takes to put an event of this calibre together. DC Black Pride is the first Black Pride Celebration in the world and with the uprising of talented party promoters, they have pulled from the focus of what Pride is all about. Don't get me wrong, I love to party as much as the next man, but I also want to see our community pull together and prosper... we have so many issues in our community and many of us could care less about what's going on with us all.


This year DC Black Pride featured Fantasia, who turnde it on Sunday Night, but was it a packed house? No, it was not , simply because people still do not know the difference between DC Black Pride and other parties in the city. With Stephanie Mills at Love ( I assume she was there, that is what is posted on the website) --- I am sure many thought they were going to DC Black Pride, just as many who walked down to our host hotel, who expressed they were at the Washington Plaza and nothing was going on their as they expected to see DC Black Pride; only to learn upon arrival, they had booked rooms at the wrong event. We even had a J-Set group perform on our Sunday Stage, because they were stood up by CCF (as reported by the group), but they were obviously upset, so I advised they were welcome to perform on our stage at the Festival and I hear they had the packed park amazed and everyone loved them.. so I think we will bring them back next year. I spent many hours planning a Unity Ball & Showcase , which would feature Houses, J-Set Troops, LGBT Frats and Sorrorities all in an effort to promote HIV/AIDS Awareness, but of course I then learned of the ball offering a cash prize. After about 2 mos. I decided to do something else in it's place, becasue everyone was planning to attend the Chocolate City Fest Ball.


Again, I am sorry that this happened to you and in no way would DC Black Pride book entertainment and not follow through. That is tacky and word of mouth is something else.


I hope this sheds some light on the events that took place this weekend. As we begin to plan DC Black Pride 2009, I hope that the REAL DC BLACK PRIDE may have the opportunity to work with you.


Though DC Black Pride - Official 18: Empowered & Poppin' was not perfect, we had a wonderful evnet and I am proud to say that I serve on this Board and will continue to do my part to "Bring it Back" to the way it was...

That's a damn shame.. You are not the first....But most of us know in DC she (Daryl Wilson) is SHADY, SCAMMER, AND A OBITUAL LIAR. I guarantee she won't be around much longer.. For the person that on here that requested her number here you go and her email...
daryleventsdc@yahoo.com
301-908-8934 Enjoy it..

Daryl S don't worry baby WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND AND SHE HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR SEVERAL YEARS.. SOMEONE REALLY NEED TO BRING HERE BACK DOWN TO LEVEL SHE HAS FORGOTTEN WHERE SHE COMES FROM.. THE DEVIL IS A LIAR..

Love Ya
A Daryl Wilson Hater for what she's become..That's Right
 

DARRYL IM SO SORRY THAT HAPPENED TO YOU! I MUST SAY I WENT THROUGH SOMETHING WITH MR. WILSON- GREG AND I WENT TO DC TO DO A EVENT FOR HIM AND HE WROTE US BOTH A BAD CHECK- IT BOUNCED LIKE A RUBBER BALL- HORRIBLE! BUT WE BOTH GOT OVER IT AND SAID WE WILL NEVER EVER WORK WITH HIM AGAIN AND I HAVENT. I THINK IT IS SO UNFORTUATE BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY WE WANT TO SUPPORT OUR OWN BUT IT MAKES YOU NOT WANT TO WHEN THINGS LIKE THIS HAPPEN- I CANT BELIEVE DARRYL IS STILL DOING BAD BUSINESS, I HOPE THAT NONE OF OUR OTHER CAST MEMBERS OF NOAHS ARC EXCEPTS ANY KIND OF SO CALLED BOOKING FROM HIM.

I am the President of the Official DC Black Pride, and I hope you will consider working with us next year. Daryl Wilson developed a separate event, initially using our trademarked name. We had a wonderful event - even though there were some bumps and bruises along the way, but I am confident that you would have been welcomed with open arms at the Official event that has been around for 18 years. Please visit www. dcblackpride. org for more information!

Warmest regards,
Courtney R.

DC Black Pride
 

Sorry to hear that you got used like that. Its ashame to what some people will do to make a fast buck.
Are gas prices that high that he had to resort to this?
 

Take a look at this... hmmm very interesting.. Not to be trusted.

Jesus - really? Really! You know I did DC last year, but not through him. I thought he was a pal of Jensen's. Wasn't he roaming the halls when we were there at the hotel for the HRC? Go figure. Sorry about your plans, baby. But hey - we get to go to the Twin Cities! You'll probably have to push me in a wheel chair as I'm now in a cast from my knee to my toes. Oh, well... big love - and I love it when you get mad!

Hello,

First I want to apologize to the folks who live in DC and those who came to visit our great city. As some one who considers himself to be well connected in DC's social scene, GLBT community and nightlife, I heard this issue revolving around Daryl Wilson quite some time ago and really didn't pay it any mind. However, when I heard he was hosting his own gay pride, I stepped up and took notice. He is really trying to f*ck DC's Gay Pride up, was my initial reaction. Well, that exactly what happened.


After several of our 3,500+ subscribers emailed us about the events of this weekend, I really didn't know what to make of it. Was it really that serious? I stopped going to Daryl's event several years about after one of US (a GBM) got shot by one of the security staff of the venue he held his event at and he decided to continue to hold his events there after it happened showing his patrons that not even an event as dramatic as that would deter him from trying to make a profit.


Well, as I discussed our email conversation, after reading your post, the Washington Blade's article, speaking with several of the organizers of DC Pride several gay celebrities and receiving several emails from our readers, I have no choice but to flame this fire. This is a story that I can't help to follow-up on.


I will contact Daryl Wilson to obtain a response to all of these allegations. It is my hope that he addresses these issues before that issue goes to print.


I stand with those hotbois of K&C Productions in asking that your readers not forget that there are still quality venues and svcs in the District. Your readers can visit www. dcsmostfabulous. com for a weekly list of DC's MOST FABULOUS happenings. FYI: Both of K&C Productions’ events are posted in our weekly BE FAB Newsletter. Wilson events are purposely left off. I am sure that many of the Districts gay nightlife goers can only echo me in saying that K&C Productions’ events have definitely upgraded DC’s gay black nightlife.


I commend you on your efforts in bringing this issue to the forefront and out in the open. Darryl Stephens, star and Noah’s Arc, and someone who’ve I have the privileged of personally taking around DC and parting with several times, has said they he’s even had several mishaps with Wilson also. When I was told this, I got extremely outraged. Very good friend, Patrik, creator/director of Noah’s Arc brought the cast to DC for their show’s media tour. There should have been NO way this should have happened to Darryl or his co-star Rodney. Something needs to be done about this and I plan to do just that.
STAY POSTED…

Wow Daryl, I am sorry you had to experience that but I as a Washingtonian, I don't even participate in any Daryl Wilson productions because of similar instances like this past holiday weekend. When I get e-mails regarding his events, I delete them automatically. You did the right thing by putting it out there because trust me, the next thing you would hear would be that you and Jenson didn't show up, not the other way around.


Continued success to you brother and hope to see you at another event...Smile!!!
 

Wow, now that is ridiculous! I'm from DC and often wonder about Mr. Wilson's events. I'm glad I didn't waste my time buying tickets.. Honestly, I don't know anyone who went to his "Chocolate City" events..

I guess that's Karma...

Smooches..
