I went down to the Knitting Factory to hear some hip hop last night. In particular this cat named Spec Boogie. He came out blazey’s party the other night and i knew his name was familiar but not until his joint “From the Heart of Bed-Stuy” came on did i realize that he did one of my favorite songs from a couple months back.

Bed Stuy - Spec Boogie. I just wish he spoke more on specifics in the hood.

Produced by Von Pea of Tanya Morga

Donwill of Tanya Morgan. They were supposed to perform but delay’s in Denver held them back.

The bartender got this shirt in ‘88

Thanks Meg for documenting this!

Here are a few photos from the other night. There are quite a bit more and i’ll get out a link sometime this week.

The little closet things are falling off and the left parts to the desk in the box cause they couldn’t figure it out.

sigh

And i feel like these pods are just a bit too big for our space. Well, not too big just along with our table and seating area it is a bit crowded. We are going to attempt to change it soon.

This weekend, if you are in any one of the 5 boroughs (ok, jersey too), COME OVER TO BROOLKYN AND DO A KEG STAND WITH BLAZEY!

We’ll update with directions and such later this week.

Me and Ebony when down to visit dad for fathers day this past weekend. Amongst a bunch of other things we visited the Civil Rights photo exhibit at the art museum. I decided to sit and play with the post of these images. I took most of the processing too far but it is good to know these things so when i do want to apply something similar i know where not to go:

Sole Classics is my go-to place to find kicks when i’m in town. For some reason I find it easier to go here than it is to shop around in NYC.
