A few Saturdays ago, I walked around the corner to check out the newly upgraded Restoration Rocks block party in good ol' BK, that was being held on Fulton & Marcy. And I gotta say I was highly impressed with not only the turn out, but the vendors and live act situation that had this year! I resembled NOTHING like the past ones I strolled through in a minutes time. LOL. I looked as if someone had actually putting some hard earned sponsorship money and thought behind. Mos Def (or WHATEVER name he goes by now) w/the Brooklyn Philharmonic, Pharaoh Monch, & Joelle Ortiz are just some of the featured acts that took the stage that day. #Kudos to the crew it can only get BETTER from here.
"The great Frank White is here to excite!" And excite they did! Last Wednesday the short-lived long loved cultural cafe' Frank White held a reunion slash honor awards gathering (held at Littlefield) that was one not to be missed. Friends, family, and fans all came together to toast the accomplishments of one another achieved in the space in such a short time. the night was truly...EPIC! It was great to see all those familiar faces together in one spot and on top of that walk home with the "crown" (award). But on Wed. the celebrating didn't end. The SAME gang got together AGAIN in a more intimate setting for the relaunching of "the Class Reunion" dinner party event now held at Luke's Place (formerly En) for the fashionable social set in Bklyn and beyond. Here's the picture EVERY ONE'S been asking so patiently (yeah right) about. Enjoy, and hope to see you at Luke's later on tonight or even the Ft. Greene Fest kick-off party.
