the Hastings Set: Everybody's Party - August 8, 2008

Ooh wee!... It's been a long time since i've been to a private event like this, where there was great music (live bands and DJs) and great people. It was hotter than a MF in the joint, but everybody's vibe was positive and all were having a good time. DJ's Niña, Gerald C. and Bles-sed rocked the decks and kept the crowd moving all night. Omar and friends, Curtis Santiago and his guitarist (sorry, but I don't remember names well), all the musicians, and for those that i've missed, gave great performances that evening. I also met a couple of great photographers; Brad Dijkman and Riaz Makan. Thank you to Jeff, Chin and the Hastings Set crew for putting on another great gathering! See you next round. Peace.

Please check out photos of the evening, HERE.

The return of Zaki Ibrahim

My good friend, Zaki Ibrahim, performed at the Media Club, as well as Kinnie Starr as the opening act, on July 17. Due to a prior engagment, I missed the show :( In any case, I heard that the show was great. I managed to meet with Zaki at Lola's and got her to sign a copy of her cd. Thanks Zaki!!

p.s. "Tanika, it was great seeing you homegirl!! Miss you!"

Canada Day...

Ok, so i'm still playing catchup. So a couple of events happened on July 1, Canada Day. First was Bryan's birthday, which involved a day trek around the seawall of Stanley Park and ended off with a nice dinner at Mr.Pickwick's on Denman. In the evening, the Boombox Saints performed at Lola's on West Broadway. Next up... Paul's Bday BBQ. Peace!

Flashing Lights to Republic - June 25, 2008

Pluskratch (Paul Mighty, Boombox Saints, Kut Co.) and Huggy Fresh (Boombox Saints) had their birthday celebration at Fabric. It was theme based and the theme was "futuristic". G and I were only there for a minute cuz we had to bounce somewhere else. You can check out some of the photos of that night here.

Pluskratch x Huggy Fresh x 1st Love Wednesdays - June 25

Salamat - June 11

Sammie Jo Productions, Spectrum Entertainment, and 1st Love Wednesdays successfully put on a great show for the 2nd Annual SALAMAT Festival. With a DJ lineup you couldn't miss, all dj's kept the night going. There were performances from the SVS Style Crew, Pure Dance Crew, Toxic Slime Clique, Boombox Saints (sorry guys :( ), Jiggz (No Plan B.) and D-City; the night was hot and entertaining.

Pluskratch a.k.a. Almighty Paul Mighty, was sportin' and sellin' his new print "ALMIGHTY". In the back there were booths set up with some local organizations such as Enspire Foundation, the Philippine Womens Centre, and Glory MMA Apparel. Also body art provided by Got Funk Threads. Thank you to all who came down and supported. Also, KUYA was in attendance serving up hot eats for all of ya'll. I heard the puto was bangin' (extra butter :P). Anyhow, I hope you all enjoyed the night. Happy Philippine Independence Day!!

Boombox Saints Performance @ Fabric

Wednesday, April 16, 2008

Once again, the Boombox Saints performed and delivered great sets. The first half of their show showcased their hip hop talents with Pluskratch playing the beats. On the mic were J.P., Adi and Huggy Fresh a.k.a. Jeff. Each brought their own unique and verbal talents. For their second set, they toned it down with an acoustic one with Mark Robson on the guitar. Watch out for these guys, they're creepin' up!

Yeeeah boyeeeee!!

Saturday night after work, was supposed to be a chill night watching a movie at the theatre. My friend was too tired to catch a flick, so I decided to hang out with DJ P-Love and Gerald C at the Republic (http://www.donnellynightclubs.ca/). I was only expecting to just hang out for a couple hours and go home and sleep, but a surprise guest rolled through for that night's festivities. Flava Flav came through with an entourage, and came on the mic, hyping the crowd. Part of his entourage was Kelly Perine (Under One Roof/ One on One/ Between Brothers), Carl Anthony Payne II ("Cockroach", Cosby Show/ Martin), and other African Amercian actors/ artists. Barbara Beam was in the house, and it was Mr. Mik Rock's birthday too. DJ P-Love held it down with Flava Flav, playin' hip hop beats for him to rhyme to, as well as dropping music from his single "911 is a Joke", as well as music from Public Enemy.

Another hype night, but feelin' the pain here at work today. Work hard, play hard. Thanks again Republic, Flava Flav, and to DJ's P-love and Gerald C!
