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.

Living Vicariously

There are cars...and then there are DREAM CARS [ aka BMW M5 ], and then there are friends that so happen to own one of my dream machines. Angie, after seeing me drool all over it, benevolently offered to let me take it for a quick spin.

WOAH.
I sent a pic to my lil brother immediately. He, also, drooled.

thanks angie!

Triple Sidewalk Threat

Yesterday, we headed to Steph, Nicole, and Angie's "Sidewalk Sale" in Boerum Hill. Twas a PERFECT day for stoop-style lounging with buddies, "..white wine, anyone?".

Bahareh and i came away with some goodies, too.
Details, details.
