Word As Bond
God bless New Jersey! Two days at the Shore, and I've got two arms full a dang mosquito bites, a lobster-red farmer's burn that's stingin' like a mother, a potty mouth full of "g"-less gerunds (got me runnin' around talkin' like a freakin'redneck), and a nasty stomach ache from a big, big, BIG mistake of a late-night meal at Denny's. You know, somehow I was able to avoid the Denny's experience growin' up in the 'burbs--maybe that's why I couldn't help but pull off the highway when I saw the pretty sign. Not only that, but the conversation over these nachos somehow got around to the topic of Herpes, another thing I safely avoided whilst growin' up in the 'burbs (and to this day). Not many of us would go on vacation and end up at Denny's talkin' about herpes.

And I don't know what them scientists are talkin' about with all this ... cicada stuff. We're supposed to be plagued with a swarm of biblical proportions, millions and billions of fat, ugly, prehistoric looking bugs that eat trees. Jersey don't know nothin' about that stuff. Jersey's got a plague of gnats that'd rather eat meat than trees. You can't run or hide from these little bastids--they follow you no matter where you go. You breathe in, and you eat a few thousand. I sent my mom off to the local WaWa (you guys don't know nothin' about WaWa) to get me some Skin So Soft (the local bug repellant), but by the time she got back, I was already on the ground, dead, covered in gnats, eaten almost up to the bone. But hey! At least I got to hit Big Ed's earlier that day for an all-you-can-eat ribfest.

Back to business ...

I gotta da hot sheet this week comin' up, with some big gigs at big places. First, Freedom is always rockin'. Always. The dance floor is live, the vibe is cool, calm and casual, and the music is dope. We DEFINITELY need more dudes. That's for real for real. We got too many chicks in there. Last week, there were like 100 girls and 20 guys, and it looked kind of crazy. Big shout to Dominique, a.k.a. Black Thunder, a.k.a. Nigma for bringing some fun heads down. And big shout to Earle from NYU for always representing, and Howie McDuffy for making a suprise guest appearance. And also a big shout out to Michael Jones from Ali Shaheed Muhammed's camp for supportinng. Tomorrow night, I got the main event slot numero uno shift at CROBAR for an all night blast that should be kind a live. Then, Saturday, we got the 1 year anniversary of Lot 61 Saturdays, and then, Monday, it's madness: A Babygrande Records release party sponsored by Urb at Mission, and then Howie McDuffy's big ol' birthday bash for himself, Gram Oliver, Chad Hogan and Doggy Dog Zaplan at Gallery. Herbert's doing big things. You can never ever ... ever ever .. ever ever ... never ever ... ever ... never ever ... ever ever never ever git on my level. Sissies!

(I mean that. I really do. I'm a killer.)

Big shout out to the Starbucks in Midtown. I'm not going to tell you exactly where it is, because it's one of the few left that still have big soft chairs, and I really don't feel like knocking somebody out over a big soft chair. Big shout out to John Legend for signing with Columbia/Sony Music last Friday. Mazel Tov, doggy! Can't wait for the album. Happy Birthday to the man, the myth, the legend, my all-time favorite musician Stevie Wonder.

(I wonder what song he plays at HIS birthday party.)

A moment of silence, please, for the following legends of music who've passed on recently: the "father" of reggae music, Sir Coxsone Dodd, and Elvin Jones, one of the most powerful and amazing percussionists in music history.

Good health, happiness, love, success and peace to you all,

PS--Go Smarty Jones!!!!!!!!!!
