"Parents Just Don't Understand!" -Mary J. Blige Center Hosts A Parents Workshop

The Kittyrose Lyfestyle & myself (the Minority Report) will be hosting a round table open discussion of some of the issues, good & bad that parents were sharing with me with the rest of the village. going back to the old saying, "Each one, Teach one" and YES even "I am my Brother's Keeper", because we should all be accountable to each other! This workshop will be a way of healing & sharing moments of joy that parents young and old, new and experienced can come together and build with collectively! Bring a pen, a story, an open mind & heart as well, with NO fear to share with your fellow brother's & sister's YOUR stories. the Good the Bad, and the challenging! 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.

"Swanky Panky!" -The Emerson Wants To Upgrade You!

Okay,now close your eyes! Now I want you to imagine "Boardwalk Empire's" styled deco meets home grown Brooklyn swagger and you've pretty much have a GOOD idea of what co-owners Sam Barron (Maggie Brown's), Tom Wentworth (TV producer/writer), and Gina Jankowski (art curator & extended Block Association member) were going for when they collectively conceived the layout for their (soon to be on & poppin' bar) "the Emerson." Taking the namesake from the bar street's location & also the American poet/artist (Ralph Emerson) they too look to support the growing community's art movement by dedicating wall space for future exhibits. The Emerson will mark the FIRST bar (no wait, "bar" is not the right term for this space. "Liquor lounge" or even "wine & spirit sanctuary" is best suit), that you will leave with MORE brain cells from drinking than you came with! Due to the fact that the Emerson will play host to movie screenings, ol' school soul & funk appreciation nights, art exhibitions, as well as private wine tastings. Besides the state-of-the art sound system and projection screen, did I mention that they have a plush POOL TABLE too? Go head say it... niiiice! And YES food WILL be served their too, to soak up the TEN on tap drafted beers they boast having. Now I dare you to leave this place and not use the word...

SWANKY (swngk)
1.imposingly fashionable and elegant
2. expensive and showy; stylish

When folks ask you "So how's the Emerson looking inside?"

"Flashing Lights" -Paparazzi Pics (Pt.211)

So I warned you from before! Whenever you get a text from "FREE like 'frei" you best drop whatever you tied up with, or spooning and get yo ass to that location...PRONTO! Last Sunday was just the case, when I got the text for another session of "Boogie Buffet". I was a lil' light FM this go round (due to that Roots jam in Prospect Park) but once say 8ish hit I was back to looking like it did the first time! PACKED w/ beautiful Brooklynites and lovers of Brooklyn alike. And I got pictures to prove it! Follow "@FREElikefrei" on Twitter so this doesn't happen to go down again without you! Enjoy yo self!
