so Hip-Hop and Sushi was dope - even if our sushi got stolen. AKiLLES and the OddiCY rocked that show out, and the turnout was quite pleasing. there was so much going on that i actually had to be hunted down to announce Philly Slick, who did their thing. all in all, a very good time. and the open bar was a perfect touch.
AKiLLES did his 5th performance of the week on sunday @ Bag of Balloons, the Phrequency/McJawn block party. that was a hell of a lot of fun. Vanache and i found it was the perfect place to be a kid again (even if you were drinking whiskey the night before):

word. there was four square, grilling, dancing, facepaint... people brought their dogs... of course the sun was blazing, but there were so many people of all ages having a good time. i'd like to give a big shout out to the girl who opened her home to us - i never found out your name, but you were an awesome hostess.
i love these men; they make my day.
and Fame makes three... :-D
this little boy was crushin' on the mic. so cute!
Tiffany Yoon from Phrequency took some of the dopest photos i've seen of this event... check out the ill action shot she got of my boys from the band:
in other news, my phone's gone, guys! that means that all the photos i wanted to post (or a decent amount of them) are gone, too. but maybe this will be incentive for me to finally replace my camera. and no tweeting. but that's okay. twitter is ruining my life anyway.
so i was talking to Mister Sungee the other night and he told me that Pino Palladino (who is responsible for most - if not all - of my ongoing adoration of bass guitar) played on the majority of the D'Angelo album Voodoo. i never knew that, and now i'm scouring the internet to find out more. Rah's always the one to drop knowledge on us whippa-snappas.
i've always loved lower register instruments and actually spent a long time playing one. i'm thinking about getting back into it... it's been a long time, but i guess i shouldn't stay away from music for too long, huh?
man, i am so exhausted. time to get to work...
