Damn, what a week it’s been, DX! Before I say absolutely anything though, let me hit you with some time sensitive material:

TODAY: SUNDAY, JANUARY 20, 2008! CLUB ENVY (2135 Queens Chapel Rd., NE)! 12pm! In honor of the MLK holiday, they’re doing an ALL AGES event featuring a whole shitload of artists. I believe it was 20 artists for this show, including Wale, Tabi Bonney, Mambo Sauce, TCB, and a whole slew of other gogo bands. I’m not sure if it’s free or anything, but I did hear it was going down. Although after scouring the internet I haven’t been able to find any info on the event. But I really did hear about this joint. It should be a hot event, and it’s even better that the kids can go have some fun this weekend as well. Too bad I’m just too damn tired and cold to be making my way to it. Oh well…I’ve been doing some digging and I may be hitting a better venue in the near future anyway. But that’s still a secret, and the official word isn’t out on it yet so let me stop talking. Er…typing. Whatever. Now in other news…

-This one is for the college hoops fans. Big shout out to Dre Smith of GMU. For those that missed the game or don’t stay up on the overly underrated Colonial Athletic Association, he had 100% accuracy outside of the arc during Saturday night’s game against rival JMU. For real? This kid made 10 out of 10 three point shots, and had a game total of 34 points. Go the fuck ahead with that. And it’s about damn time GMU started winning some away games, too.

-Have you picked up your copy of Ernie Paniccioli’s latest release? I sure hope you have. I got mine in the mail this weekend. Oh, and did I mention that it’s predominantly a picture book? So even you non-reading rejects can enjoy it. Shit, buy one for your baby cousin or something. Teach them their pop culture at an early age.

-Word to the wise: if you’re planning on driving in D.C., that’s fine. Just don’t park your car anywhere. There are meter maids lurking in the shadows, and they don’t play, son. So get someone to circle the block while you go inside to pick up your food from Habesha at 9th and S, NW. They get a lot of love from me for not going easy on the heat level for the pale skinned population.

-Shouts to the random ass overly-generous citizens of Northern VA. Especially the woman at the salon I go to. Yo DX – good hearted people still exist in the world. Can you believe it?

I promise my next blog will not be random. Actually, I'll get to writing it right now. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
