This is probably the first time Canadian rapper Drake and Nobel Laureate writer Elie Wiesel have ever been mentioned in the same blog post, so consider it a treat: these two exciting guests chose the same week to visit our humble Middletown.
Drake, who played a show in Wallingford Thursday night, apparently had his after party at The Shadow Room on Main Street. We’re a few days late on the Middletown gossip, but the Middletown Eye has the details in a post appropriately titled “If You Happened To See Someone Who Looked Like Drake Last Night On Main Street”:
Drake arrived at midnight, and the party, open to the public, had the crowd dancing to Drake’s personal DJ until 3 a.m.
With a heads-up from club owner Nicholas Caraci, Middletown and State Police were positioned outside the club. Caraci indicated that there was no trouble at the club. The door was supervised by a Middletown fire marshall, and the event was supervised by four state troopers and about a dozen Middletown Police patrol cars.
