Last Sunday, I attended "church". Not the holy-pass the plate-look at my flashy suit-did you hear what sister Kathy did type of church. But it was definitely a spiritual event. Let me rewind it for you, early Sunday while attending the
"Great Day In BK" photo shoot (you'll hear more later on that one) I got wind of the location and time that
Myspace was hosting their secret
Gnarls Barkley (
Battles, &
Janelle Monae!) concert in
NYC at
Irving plaza! "Starts at 7pm? F**k it I'll be there at 5...and it's FREE too?" Done.
Havana Outpost will have to pause till another Sunday son. This is some
Minority Report type dream s**t ya heard! Got there
DUMB early, good thing too, the line was
HELLA long (damn, now
Ash got me saying that Cali s**t now). Mike (
Yume) was posted up there already, plus he had his J.M. (
Janelle M.) hook up. I called up a few folks on my short list like, "Come thru it's free, it's
BANANAS out here!" But no one was readily available. Let me tell you my friends, it was
SICK! Both the show
AND the heat inside. Swore I was gonna faint on some "bitchassness" type sh*t, but held it together. That was my very first Gnarls and Monae concert, so I was trying not to spoil the memory, by waking with folks looking over me balling over w/laughter. Feel me? Anyways, after seeing her live and meeting her, I went straight home to sell
EVERYTHING I own, to be her personal groupie.
Here's some pics I took before I sold my camera too (lol).
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE live concerts! Especially when the artist(s) is at the peak of their craft. However I often forget the who, what, and where's to what's going on in town to catch live. And I KNOW you do too, so I've created this guide/list to keep you abreast of things. Put me on the list if you're hosting ANY of these!
