Oh, So Thurgood
Honestly, i just want to spill the entire show away and break down EVERY single amazing moment that chock-filled Lawrence Fishburne's performance of Thurgood Marshall.....but, i just cant give it justice.
Instead a, 'WOW'.
And our seats were SO good. How good? This is a picture looking up at Lawrence Fishburne. We were so close that we couldnt even eat the junk food we snuck into the show! He'd look at us whenever there was a crackle.
And Bahareh's evening attire was drenched in judicial saliva.
Best DateNight, ever.

Whoopi Rock(ed)
The other day i had to chase down this handsome fellow after seeing the EPIC jacket he was rocking.
The best part is he had NO clue what was going on.
wow.

Chicken 'N' Platforms
Friday night Bahareh & Le Jelsen headed to our buddies' apt for some Blaxpliotation flix and chicken -n- waffles.
Flick 01: Let’s Do it Again

Gotta love it!
Alissa and Oprah go waaaaaaaay back.

Show 'n' Tell @ HappyCorp
There are two things that have yet to bore me:
1) My friends
2) Showing my portfolio to strangers
My buddy Candice (at HappyCorp) hooked me up with a show-n-tell session at their office.
twas good clean fun. The guys were cool and not as hungover as i thought they'd be. I didnt get any physical high-5's but....honestly....we had to keep SOME professionalism intact.
jeez.
Oh, and this is what Candice looks like out-of-office. DO NOT make her angry.

Angela Davis @ PRATT
On Wednesday Bahareh and i headed to PRATT to see the not late and definitely great Angela Davis speak on arts & politics.
This is my first time hearing her speak in person.

Diet Cokehead
So, after Bahareh deciding to no longer depend on her diet coke consumption to live (until the week of the wedding) and doing SUCH a great job at it for about 3 mos....she's back on the can. or should i say fountain.
Ladies and gentlemen - you've just witnessing her very first Diet Coke in 3mos.
She's never been happier. Cold turkey's for quitters.

The Stoop !
Last Saturday i finally got to be a guest at The Stoop. Ive been more than eager for weeks.
Sallome's been telling me the greatest things about the crew and i couldnt wait to meet them myself.
It was really cool to be interviewed my highschool students about design, process, and the likes. 
We also got to D E S I G N on the spot.
As a surprise assignment i challenged the team to come up with the concept and design of the flyer for their upcoming event. We split into teams and attacked the impromptu brief.
Not bad for 1st time creative directors, eh?

My Annual Trimming
Ah, wash & dry.
Ive never looked forward to it as much as i did this time. The week's been more intense than usual and i just couldnt wait to have Donovan's (at Time Salon, Ft Greene) man-hands attack my scalp.
The stress went bye-bye...and so did 3 kilos of hair.
Plus i got a new profile image. hooray!
see you next year. no! see you right before the wedding.
