Among other things, I saw the Roots and Erykah Badu last week when I was in Seattle. I’ve seen the Roots many times and will keep coming back for more. They have a TUBA on stage for f*!#’s sake! Please forgive my crappy little photos, but it’s the best I could do being so far back from stage. Not the same as being right up in the front row at the knitting factory and getting sweated on.

PORTISHEAD INFO:
According to this Guardian Article: [click here for link]
The first track starts with some words in Portuguese spoken by “…Claudio Campos, a Capoeira master who teaches in Bristol. But he crackles out of the gloom like a dire warning from an old film score, the kind so beloved of Portishead when they first emerged back in 1994.”
“In English, the Threefold Law goes something like this: ‘Heed and beware the Rule of Three: three times thy acts return to thee’. It’s an old Wiccan precept about reaping what you sow”
Wait for it… JB does the robot!
Meleni Smith & Kevin Powell
Wednesday and Thursday night after work I took pictures of the Color Heritage folks and a new Reggae artist.
Friday night I shot a birthday party for Meleni Smith who is a recording artist. Coincidentally, Kevin Powell was also having a party at the club because he’s running for Congress. Like me, you may remember him as the journalist, hip-hop activist and former MTV Real World cast member from the first season.
