The free event (with a RSVP ticket) was a celebration of STL native boxer Devon Alexander coming home to fight Andriy Kotelnik as a headliner the Aug 7 fight dubbed Gateway to Greatness (promoted by Don King) at Scott Trade Center August 7.
The celebrities who attended were STL based which were rock legend Chuck Berry, Jackie Joyner Kersee, Cedric The Entertainer and Chingy (Don King and Nelly were no shows). Performers were Young Ro, Bradd Young, and country Bill Young. They also had a live art area where painters painted Devon themed paintings which was a nice touch to the party.
There were three areas of crowd. The lower area was the general admission area, upstairs was the VIP area and in the mayor's chambers was the V-VIP. It was quite chaotic in the chambers and when the celebs drifted in there it was dangrously packed (where was security when the near melee almost broke out). Folk were swarming for pics, autographs and to talk with the celebs in the room(who were generous to the crowd) after STL TV got their interview with them. Then when Devon arrived, it was near pandemonium as people crammed to get a pic of the budding boxing superstar as his henchmen guarding his every move including Tauheed Youth Group/activist Anthony Shahid (We wonder who Devon was talking to on his Blackberry while he was getting his fan appreciation goin on). .
The event was sponsored by Lumiere Place, Scott Trade Center and Ozzie's.
