today's title is a quote from none other than Mama Delphia, trying to find out what i'm doing for the holiday. and as i replied to my man saz on the FB when he asked what I'm getting into for July 4th:
"EVERYTHING!"
so that past couple days have been nuts trying to get my life together (and everything else too) but i think i've got the hang of it. SuperDope has tuckered me out this past wednesday.
guilty. guilty guilty guilty.
the amount of love going around in that place is crazy. for example, random shot by my dude Vanache:
front to back, side to side, with Phsh killin' it heavy, that's pretty much what a typical SuperDope looks like. if you're ever feeling down on a wednesday, or like you need to get free, that's the place to step to.
the man himself taking shots of the party from up high...
i had to get a crazy close up of TuPhace's flyness...
just so ya'll would understand.
it's like that.
(either that or someone jostled my camera... which excuse will you accept?)
the party gods smiling down on the SuperDope family,
or V trying to take a picture of me taking a picture of him?
you decide.
FAME!
i love this man.
jammin' on the michael jackson set,
moonwalking across the floor,
had the ill leg kick-out...
OOH-WEE. SUPERDOPE.
thursday night was spent rockin' the door @ O.N.E., brandishing my VIP list and making people jealous. :-D
although i was too busy being Miss Lily (you know how it goes...) to get photos, i can personally tell you the ladies came with their game stepped up - and the dudes were very appreciative.
i know. i'm always complaining about not having photos, or something. but not for lack of trying! here are a couple flicks i haven't put up yet...
elliot garland and his ensemble = beasts. they had this amazing show on june 25th @ chris' jazz cafe, where the atmosphere is gorgeous and the drinks are fantastic. when elliot said "the best jazz faces in philly," he wasn't lying :-D
all that face-making makes a man tired.
no, but really, the ensemble was outstanding - it was almost like stepping into a different world. i definitely have to keep an eye on these guys and start going to more of their shows. i wish my camera hadn't died so i could've gotten shots of the collaboration AKiLLES did. jazz and hip-hops, interesting combination - i loved it.

i'm pretty sure i'm crazy for driving between philly and jersey so much, but i had to go to the blues festival over @ KC'S - my rockstar lover and his band were playing a set, and i needed to get there.
there are the boys, and we have...
corey small on the bass - he KILLS it...
randy "lightning hands" marinelli on drums -
ain't he adorable?
and my future rockstar husband,
johnny thompson, on lead and vocals.
NOM. he's on my birthday list. :-D
another hectic but fully satisfying couple of days in the life of Lily D. and now, a holiday! a time to relax, eat burgers, and take a break from all the par--
who's going to the MJ party @ the Piazza tonight?
