The Sixth Annual Sights & Sounds Of DJ Dusk [04/28]!
For the sixth time, all of DJ Dusk‘s (RIP) friends are getting together again to piece together a fundraiser for a good cause. Mind you, this is a day event, so be sure to get here early for the performances and some fresh music & art to be displayed by some of LA’s finest.
This is a FREE event but bring your wallets to support the cause as this is a fundraiser. All proceeds go to the Tarek “Dusk” Captan scholarship and the Mar Vista Family Center.
Activity areas include:
- Children’s Arts & Crafts area (designing 12″ and 45s albums. face painting. henna tatoos.)
- Bike valet (for all the cyclists coming in)
- Silent Auction. (Including Some of DJ DUSKS personal items)
- Homemade food (As always by the families of the center)
- Live Silk Screening & Merchandise Table (just like last year but more items such as Official Poster designed by Jim Mahfood and available for purchase only at the Festival and kids clothing)

Soul Slam #8: Prince vs. Michael Jackson [04/28]!

PICTURES: CherryPoppin [1/11/12] (w/sg Cee-Lo + more)…
Since the Idle Warship show ended early last Wednesday, a few of my friends that I went with didnt want to call it a night. So, I told them about Cherry Poppin’ going down at The Room, and we shot out over there. At first I didnt intend on taking pictures while I was there, but since I saw my lovely lady friend/photographer Maricel handling her business over there, I decided to snap a few just for the heck of it.
All of a sudden, Cee-Lo & Big Gipp shows up. They were there for V‘s birthday, as well for the announcement of her being signed to Cee-Lo’s label (which was revealed later in the night). From my understanding, Omar Epps and a few others showed up in support as well.
Anyways, check out the few pictures that I have down below. But, I have to be honest: Maricel’s pictures are much, much better than mine.
Footlong Development x FROLAB: Wonder-Full (LA # 6) [09/10]!

theLIFT (x3): LA (x2) & SF [09/09 - 09/11]!
Next weekend, Jeremy Sole and the rest of the talent will be travelling all up and down the coast to be in three spots! Instead of theLIFT being on a saturday every month in LA, this time it’s on a friday. Saturday, they’ll be going to San Francisco, and then for the after party (Sunday) in Beverly Hills. Its going to be one hell of a weekend.
Mind you, for the friday event, you’re still going to have to RSVP for the address; saturday & sunday’s locations are presented on the flyers. One thing is for sure is that you have to arrive early.
