Jay Sean Launches the SmoothSail Line of Sparkling Canned Sake in D.C. | Eater DC

"At the celeb-friendly nightclub Heist, I learned the venue is hosting a pricey outdoor pop-up on the Kennedy Center’s rooftop terrace to launch Smoothsail on Saturday, Aug. 14 from 9 p.m. to 1:30 a.m.; reservations are required, many slots are already sold out, and table options start at $400 (admission for six plus two bottles of Moët & Chandon Champagne) while VIP cabanas priced $1,000–$2,500 have been claimed. Jay Sean is listed as a co-owner and chief cultural officer of Smoothsail and will be the host of the party — he isn’t scheduled to perform but the owner wouldn’t rule out him singing — and all attendees will be able to sample the sparkling sake beverage that’s currently only available via online ordering. The owner noted that Heist’s parties have attracted celebrities like Dave Chappelle and other local notables, and that Jay Sean said the venue “looked like no other party he had seen in D.C.”" - Kalina Newman
