Saw the movie on Friday night and it didn’t suck. I had a lot of good laughs and that had a lot to do with the group that went to the movie. We crack each other up. The BedStuy parade at the end was moving. Makes us want to dig in the crates… For your enjoyment: Biggie at 17.
Alice Russell: High up on the Hook
I learned about Alice Russell and this song a while ago, but it has been playing in my head lately again. Click here to hear the song: High up on the Hook
Can I stop my hobo wondering days now
I guess I’ll hang my tears out to dry
I seem to notice more and more every day now
you got my heartstrings breathing so right
I hang my coat high up on the hook now
I’ll put my gloves down on the side
and I know that they will still be there when
I get those feelings need to run go hide
I’m getting lost in, with you every day now
or just sitting quietly side by side
climbing towers and getting mystery trains now
making tea and settling down
kites icecreams jumping jumping trampolines now
waking up and I’ll tell you last nights dream
seeing things that no one else has seen now
your pulling on my heart of silk and strings
Can I stop my hobo wondering days now
I guess I’ll hang my tears out to dry
I seem to notice more and more every day now
you got my heartstrings breathing so right
I hang my coat high up on the hook now
I’ll put my gloves down down on the side
and I know that they will still be there when
I get those feelings need to run go hide

My Plastic Heart NYC & Jesse Hernandez
I saw an amazing artist today at the My Plastic Heart gallery. His name is Jesse Hernandez and I was instantly drawn in to his work when I walked in the door. Those of you who know me will understand why the combination of Aztec imagery and urban graffiti look made my brain explode. Go see it! Check him out at Immortal Studios. Now I need to get a tattoo of this guy’s work some day.

^ 2/3 of Brand Nubian
That’s right everyone, I was there. As always, the show started incredibly late and there were way to many people on stage distracting from the real action. I took the picture on the left with my cellphone, I wish I had my real camera with me. Questlove was twittering the entire time onstage while tons of doodleheads took up space on stage. I’m glad I was there, even if it was a madhouse.
A number of people showed up like Just Ice and 2/3 of Brand Nubian!
