 Monday May 28th

The largest and longest running African American street festival in Brooklyn returns for yet another great year! Starting from Saturday until Monday you HAVE to stop down by BAM at least one of those days! BTW be careful on those hand made pink lemonades that they serve out there! They give you diabetes on the SPOT! LOL!

"The Force Is Strong With This One!" -Luke's Place Is Brooklyn At It's Best

So right after the Yazarah St. James show I attended at BAM, how convenient was it that Ade (1/3 owner of En restaurant) was having a lil' get together for his b'day at the redesigned space (same location) damn near four blocks away! Now renamed Luke's Place, he was more than proud to show off the renewed space that took only TWO WEEKS(!) to revision. Luke's compared to the former En, is much wider, sleek, and if possible SEXIER then before. which is a GREAT addition to the ever growing Brooklyn night life scene. DJ London was n deck plying tunes to warm up the birthday boys attendees coming in from the frigid cold weather. FYI* there's no need to worry, the food is still a big draw to coming here like before. I think "VERY impress I am!" is what I'm sure Yoda would say about Luke ('s Place). Here's some footage pictures.

"Wham BAM Thank You Jam! -Yazarah Concert Live At BAM Cafe'

Talk about irony man! Peep it, last Sat. after 'Frei (the Ahficionados) and I had a video editing session trying to get this "Hello Brooklyn!" trailer out on time for this Saturday's (Jan.29th) return to Ultraviolet. We both decided afterwards to run through and check out that BAM Cafe' free concert (featuring Yazarah St. James) I was hearing about, that Hard Hittin' Harry was DJaying for. Not but ten minutes inside, up comes a young lady to me (Anita Bryant, whom I DIDN'T recognize at the time) asking if it was possible to take pictures of the event for her. In my mind I was like "Huh? I JUST got this thing! You asking the WRONG dude!" but keep a poker face and agreed anyhow. Once she gave me the "Back up can't you see I'm working" all-access press pass, It was TOO late to turn back then. So long story short, here's the pictures I captured for them. Hope that they meet your approval, I did the best that I know.
