Chaka-Chaka-Chakaras On

Yesterday was yet another opportunity for Bahareh and i to get our Grown-Asses On. We grabbed Steph and headed to Chakaras' birthday celebration....and then we REALLY celebrated.

See, sport coats conceal large flasks best...

POW! Chrome Shadow strikes again!

hooray, politics! well, more like, "hooray, discussing opposing views on politics!". Last night we had an impromptu get together to watch/debate the final day/speech of the Democratic National Convention.

In attendance:
Lee [ Cape Town/South Africa ]
Erica [ Chicago/USA ]
Bahareh [ Norway/Iran ]
Jon [ Chicago/USA ]
Jelsen [ NY & FL/Haiti ]
Christina [ Atlanta/USA ]
Brent [ Chicago/USA ]
Opposing views? Hell yes! Some prefer a spicier hummus.

Raphael Saadiq

This kid has so much SOUL it's almost overwhelming. Oakland's own Raphael Saadiq threw an amazing show [ yep, and 3 wardrobe changes ] at The Highline Ballroom last night.
Oh, so we missed the Janelle Monae's opening act...but, Bahareh snuck away with this great pic of her and Q-Tip.
Oh yeah, and we got him back onstage for an encore! We're getting REALLY good at this.

And here's a classic:

From Our Ancestors > For Our Future

A unanimous vote made Barack Obama the first African-American to become a major party nominee for president.

Oh, and let's not forget he's just as white as he is black. Afro-European American's more accurate.

This November'll be interesting, indeed.
