Word As Bond
Freedom last week was off-the-hook. Straight up. For really really real. It was packed from about 11:30 on, the door had to shut down, lots of lovely ladies in the house as usual (we always get 'em in there somehow) and we were blessed with a notable suprise outing by the one-and-only Grand Puba. You know ... the one that "makes your stinkbox wet." He gave a thumbs-up to the food--especially the French fries--that we serve till 2 in the morning. Big shout out to everyone for coming by, and not hating on us for making y'all wait in a line outside. Y'all par-teeed all night with us--me and Cosi were grooving really really hard till 4:25 in the AM. The bouncers were definitely hating on us, cuz they were itching to go home already, but we smoothed them over with some Two Tons of Fun, Chaka Khan, Nina Simone and classic house favorites. Thanks again to DJ Marc Smooth, Stone Jackson, the Starfoods staff, C Black, Lovett Hines, Rare Form and the rest of the players for helping to make this event the best NYC has to offer!

Big shouts to Chuck Wilson, Sharkie and Babygrande Records for the Monday early-
night jumpoff. I had a good time. Check out what this up-and-coming label has in store for the massives by clicking here: Babygrand.com. After that, I hurried over to the huge birthday party at Gallery. Big shout out to Gram, Howie McDuffy, Chad Hogan and Seth Zaplan, not-to-mention Green Lantern, J. Period and DJ Self for holding it down, also not-to-mention affiliates of OutKast who stopped on through to hang with Herbert. We had some problems in the back room with the sound, but it really didn't make a difference. All y'all that came thru know how hot and intimate and fun and sexy the night was. Thanks again coming out!

In other news ...

I saw "Troy" the other day. It was a good flick that did a great job of portraying the self-destructive destiny of civilization and efficiently communicating the its underlying catalyst: man's weaknesses, which are, frankly, women and war. Now, what the freaking hell is up with all that plastic surgery??? I know we're all naturally hell-bent on immortality and finding a "Fountain of Youth," but really, though. Princesses and queens with shiny, Saran Wrap faces that do not match the skin tone and composition of their necks below? And wise, old kings with weird little noses that look like lumps of Wasabi? What the hell is wrong with wrinkles? Don't they represent wisdom, achievement and success? The movie should've been called "Battle of the Botox." In hindsight, they did a real fine job of portraying society's weaknesses.

Finally, I would like to say for the record: There's nothing wrong with rocking the color pink. Sorry Obah. And for now on, Herbert's gonna be real "EPMD" with industry connections until proven worthy otherwise. Really "Strictly Business," feel me?

Brotherly/Sisterly love, world peace, good health and excellence,

P.S. -- Poor kid! (Thanks, Graficman): smlinks.com/sotw/why/
