It was a chilly night as we all set out to wreck havoc on some unsuspecting TUNA TACOS, courtesy of BEAUTY & ESSEX located on ESSEX. Despite the crowd feeling like a SEX & THE CITY/ENTOURAGE episode where young rich (and mainly Upper East Side types) “own New York”, the food is phenomenal and the vibe is hip.

There was a lot of food and “drank” passed around, but I only ate a salad and oysters (East Coast, baby) because I was just coming off a cleanse. Anyways, here it is…

*SHOTS are not for me and they never were. Instead of arguing with someone who gives me shots, I try and say no and when they badger me I just say “OK” and then when everyone takes theirs I pretend to and then dump it on the floor. Not nice, but it will save you some morning misery. I once got caught doing it when Q-TIP gave me and my friends shots. He walked away from us and came back and sat right in front of my full shot glass and look directly at me like “SON?!”. Anyways, I gave the 3 shots that accumulated in front of me to some nice ladies standing near our table. They were from Boston and very sweet.

*SMOKE DZA on his telephone. I got one too that is blue for at home chit chat, but this gold one is off the hook – haha, pun intended!

*BIG K.R.I.T. and VASHTIE.

I’m super proud of this guy!

*I don’t know if they’re an “aphrodisiac”, but they are excellent for your skin. Don’t judge a book by it’s cover, they’re pretty tasty.

*SHA MONEY provided endless laughs!

*ANG, SHIPES, JOHN & CASS

*CALLENDER, SMOKE DZA, DUTCH, BIG KRIT, and down low JONNY SHIPES

*The Driver was hilarious. He had a finger comb and liked to show off his combing steez.

We all knew better. In order to attend any DEE & RICKY event, you must arrive the minute it starts…otherwise doors get shut down like computers (hahaha, that line is so goofy). Anyways…Me, ELLE, DJ HUGGY BEAR & YOUNG SCOOZLE set out in the rain to support our brothers.

ELLE was the first one who decided to wear her Uncles Army Jacket. YOUNG SCOOZLE wore his Brothers Army Jacket

and then I was coaxed to add to the Camo Madness…

*HUGGY BEAR was playing “a good one” so we had to wait until he “busted that ass” on his online opponent before we set out.

*DEE

*JOHNNY KILLEFACE

*BABES

*TELLI of NINJASONIK

*THEOPHILUS LONDON was in the place to be…

Special thanks to LAURA for the hookup to a sold out show.

Sold out for good reason.

Last nights show was SWIMMINGLY GOOD, as I immersed myself in an OCEAN of FRANK.

There are some artists who put on grand visual shows and then there are the rare few who can just open their mouths without distractions and astound a crowd. My faith in music has been restored.

Hmmm. I think we should have a new name for it since we’re not going to slaughter Native Americans or give out blankets of small pox. Either way, it’s really a great day for over-eating with the people you love and hate the most. I’m all for it.

Indeed, watch what you feed your pets. I was at the laundromat and watched this disgusting woman feed her beautiful Siberian Husky pastries from Veneiro’s. Sure – she’s feeding him the best pastries in the East Village…but, that is no bueno for animals. It was really a gross sight to see. There were tons of crumbs all over the floor and she had no concern for the mess she made.

I got the invite from ?UESTLOVE that he was doing a food event on that rainy Wednesday afternoon. I mean, how could I say no? Who doesn’t love ?UESTLOVE and FOOD?!

The event took place at the Bon Appetit Office in the Conde Nast building (think Anna Wintour) – the thought alone makes me want to abstain from eating for life, but I ventured in. KARL JUSTIN was my date and we had some good giggles along the way. Previously, we went in search for oysters and found a restaurant called OSTERIA something and we assumed – they MUST have oysters. Turns out that “osteria” means nothing oysters, so we settled on some Mussels. Fine by us.

*SOLANGE and ME. She’s now a New York local and looking flawless as ever. Can’t wait to hear what she’s been cooking up for her next album.

*YO & MEL D. COLE

*?UESTLOVE throwing down.

PAPER MAGAZINE has been one of my go-to’s for everything cool for a while now. Their publication is a pillar to New York City, so I couldn’t have been more honored to DJ an event presented by them and TOURNEAU on such a special date – 11.11.11.

I was also stoked to be DJ’ing alongside 10 other DJ’s (11 in total) who were all so different and fly in their own style. Even the staff at TOURNEAU were pleasant and fun. It was a perfect night! Not to mention, the crowd was just my type – a clash of opposites. It was OLD MONEY meets POOR KIDS and with that my friend, we created MAGIC!
