i know i say this after every blogging hiatus, but...
so much has been going on.
we're getting ready for Hip-Hop & Sushi this saturday. my boy perry lassin did a dope video as promotion - check it out. this is the first event that i'm hosting in philly, and i couldn't be more excited! i wish my dress would hurry up and come in the mail, though. i've only got 24 hours!
last night emcee unless and willpowerless tore it down at north star bar. i got a few photos with my super-sexy cameraphone (that's sarcasm, guys), which i'll be posting soon, but the show was fly! i definitely have to get my hands on his CD, the rubik's cube exclusive. i missed my chance last night! silk city was PACKED afterward, too. had a little mishap - some of my philly boys don't know how to keep their hands to themselves - but mister manager handled it swiftly and deftly. i'm lucky to have a monster for a boss, real talk.
i'm still waiting on my boy V (who i ran into @ silk city last night) to post SuperDope flicks from this past wednesday - he kept trying to snap me on the sneak tip while i was talking to people and generally just acting silly, and i got a cute shot with him, too! i want to see how they all came out :) i was so surprised to see him without camera in hand last night, but it must be exhausting to be the man on the dope flicks all the time. sometimes you need a vacation.
did anybody hit up the open mic this past tuesday @ panda bar? i got a couple shots from that, too - AKiLLES and El Smooth really rocked it out. not sure people were ready, even the next night @ blue bananas cafe when they did it again. all improv - elliot making beats on the fly and then having AK freestyle over them is buuuuuuutterrr....
oh, man. hip-hop and sushi... preparing for this event has been kinda crazy. monday my stylist maxi hooked me up with a cute short style to kinda go with the aesthetic. nobody recognizes me with short hair - i've been confusing people all week! i ran into my boy abe on the way to rittenhouse square the other day and he skated past me looking at me like he knew me.
"hey! remember me?"
"maybe," he said, giving me the ill strangeface.
i shrugged it off and a couple blocks later i heard a skateboard fast approaching behind me - it was abe! and he couldn't figure out where he knew me from. when i finally reminded him (SuperDope!), he was like, "girl, you can't change it all up on me like that!"
my peoples are so silly.
alright, kiddies. it's time for miss lily to get to work - can't keep the boss waiting.
photos to come soon! mwahr...
