The Friday Night Blitz Super Bowl Party in Tampa Playboy's Girls Next Door:
Kendra Wilkinson and Holly Madison




Posted January 11, 2009 11:29 AM By Jeff Townsend

The party promotion team of Midnite Productions and The Wet Group is throwing a series of parties at AJA Channelside over three nights during Super Bowl week in Tampa.   Friday night’s (January 29) party is Friday Night Blitz which will be hosted by the stars of E!’s “The Girls Next Door” and Playboy regulars Kendra Wilkinson and Holly Madison.  We can tell you that Kendra brings the fire to any party and she was in full effect at last year’s Super Bowl parties in Arizona.  She got onstage and sang with Diddy at the P. Diddy Block Party, shared co-hosting duties and again was hanging out on the little stage in front of the DJ booth at Friday Night Lights and then partied hard at the out-of-this-world Playboy party at Rawhide.

Like ‘Athletes & Angels’ (Wet’s Saturday night party), this party will be co-hosted by four NFL players – Drew Carter (Oakland Raiders), Brendon Ayanbadejo (Baltimore Ravens), Alex Smith (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) and Greg Camarillo (Miami Dolphins). Further celebrity guests have not been announced but our experience is that Playboy models and NFL players usually attract a celebrity crowd.  Check back to SuperSundayHQ.com for updates. 

Perhaps one of the coolest attractions of the event, besides the knockout hostesses, is in fact, the brand-spanking-new venue: Aja Channelside. Enrique De Jesus of Midnite Productions adds "It is Tampa's newest venue. And I'm not just saying that because we're planning the event. There truly is nothing like AJA in Tampa. Once anyone walks into the place, they'll appreciate the time that went into the designing the room and all the finishes, etc. The service motto is its going to be second to none, as well" We here at Super Sunday HQ were lucky enough to take a sneak peek at the design kit for the soon-to-be open venue, and it looks to be on par with any Randy Gerber or Ian Schrager production.

We also asked the planners what the chances are of guests actually getting a chance to see the Playmates, as well as the NFL athletes. "We don't have a traditional VIP room. The entire club is VIP. There won't be any velvet ropes throughout the event. It's really a disappointment when people go and they don't get to see the celebrities. We don't believe in that. We want to create an experience for our customers. There will be a VIP table in the center of the main room at Asia. There is no VIP section. It is a two story venue, and our celebrities will be in the main area," said De Jesus.

DJ Scene, resident DJ at Wet Republic at the MGM in Las Vegas, will be spinning throughout the night.  DJ Scene can be heard on channel 67’s “The City” on XM Satellite Radio.  Tickets are $300.00 which includes a premium open bar until 3 a.m. and access to all areas of the club.  "With the current state of the economy, and the fact that we wanted as many people as possible to experience Aja over super bowl weekend, our strategy was to add as much value as possible to our ticket," De Jesus told us. This party runs from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m.  AJA Channelside is located at the Towers of Channelside in Tampa which is very close to the St. Pete Times Forum. Guests strongly are encouraged to arrive early. 

Super Sunday HQ asked Enrique De Jesus of Midnite Productions, about the chances of having an even guy/girl ratio, in a male dominated week. He explained "We've been doing events in the Tampa Bay Area for the last five years. Our primary business is here in Tampa. Our reputation of creating events that exceed our customers' expectations has allowed us to acquire a large network of individuals here, so the ratio in the event is obviously very important to us, but not of major concern, because we know that our female clientele base will be strong for the event."
