Things I'm currently jocking…
*Bananaz. The documentary movie behind the band The Gorillaz. Unreal footage and music… http://tinyurl.com/dmzq4a
* This free ‘Best of Mos Def Mixtape' by DJ Konflikt. It's crazy and has me excited for Friday … http://tinyurl.com/pcyzkc (Win tickets to Mos Def here)
* This weekend… We all have to wait one more weekend for Massive (Saturday the 30th @ Crown Room), but this weekend is Flosstradamus (tonight!), Bounce (tonight), Urban Golf, Mos Def and a Memorial Day Weekend Cruise/Boat Party (call 503.839.1738 for info) with the DJ for the Portland Trailblazers.
Life is a party, everyone is just waiting to be invited.
See you all out and about! Leigh Feldman
