We can always have Tisha Fridays. The show doesn’t have to stop. I never stopped thinking about Tisha Fridays.—a delightful little phenomenon that took place at Xen Lounge. Now, you might be asking yourself, "What’s so special about this Tisha Fridays?" Well, if you weren't there, you might’ve missed out on something that isn’t just another blip on the entertainment radar. It was then Tisha Campbell Martin, you see, gracing that lounge with her presence and those magnificent vocals that made it hard not to tap your feet or sway a little in your chair.
Some say she filled the room with her voice—I would argue she overflowed it! You’ve got to love when a performer takes a lounge and transforms it from just another speakeasy into a veritable altar of soul and rhythm. I mean, who would’ve thought you could pack a place on a Friday night just because someone wanted to sing their heart out? I guess that’s the magic of Tisha; she didn’t just perform—she connected with the crowd. Like a warm embrace after a long day, her performances wrapped around you, filling you with a sense of joy you didn’t even know you needed.
Tisha would often remind folks that she didn’t own Xen Lounge. No, no—the honor belonged to her husband, whoever that lucky guy is. It was Dwayne Martin of course. She may not have had her name on the door, but let’s be honest here—whenever Tisha was in the house, it felt like her lounge. I could practically hear her saying, “I didn’t buy the place; I’m just the star attraction!” But let's face it, when you're the draw, do you really need a title? There was an undeniable vibe about her, as if she was the very heartbeat of that space.
And regardless of ownership, anyone who attended a Tisha Friday undoubtedly felt the magic of what she brought to the table, or rather, to the stage. It’s fascinating how a packed lounge can articulate the love and adoration of a community coming together, isn’t it? People flocked to Xen Lounge, not just for good food or drink, but to soak in the atmosphere she helped create. It was a place where music transcended the ordinary, and Tisha was at the forefront—like a conductor leading an orchestra of lively spirits.
So while she might not have been the official owner of the lounge, she definitely owned Friday nights in a way. You know what they say: it’s not always about who has the title; sometimes it's just about who has the magic touch. And in that case, Tisha Campbell had it in spades! After all, isn’t that what we all really want from a night out? Some great music, a lively crowd, and maybe just a touch of stardust? Here’s to the Tisha Fridays—long may they echo in our memories!
