The Great GoogaMooga

I was fortunate enough to check out "The Great GoogaMooga", a food festival in Brooklyn's Prospect Park this past Sunday. 


It was like a clash of food, music and people. Pretty crazy.

Taylor McFerrin

Last Friday, we went to Le Poisson Rouge to catch an early concert by Jose James. Taylor McFerrin opened and guest starred along with Emily King.


If you haven't heard of them yet, LOOK THEM UP!

The Tobolowsky Files

A few weeks ago, I attended the Tobolowsky Files at the Bell House in Brooklyn. 

Character actor Stephen Tobolowsky is a wonderful storyteller and I enjoyed seeing/hearing him speak live. It was hosted by Dave Chen of slashfilm.com.

You can catch Stephen's stories on Slashfilm.com at: http://www.slashfilm.com/category/features/slashfilmcast/the-tobolowsky-files/

P.S. There's a guest appearance by my pulled pork sandwich from the Urban Rustic booth at the Bell house.

"Evitan"

This past weekend at Harlem Stage, we were fortunate enough to see a couple of shows paying tribute to the legacy of rap group, A Tribe Called Quest. A 4-part series, it showcased Tribe's music and artists influenced by them. 

Included was a special set by "Evitan" ("Native" spelled backwards)  which consists of Dres of Black Sheep, Jarobi of A Tribe Called Quest and DJ Strike. Luckily, there was enough light where I could sketch their performance.

Afterwards, I introduced myself to Jarobi in the lobby, showed him my work, and then he introduced me to the rest of the group.

It was a surreal experience, as I told Dres: "My brother wouldn't believe it because he used to breakdance in the living room to your guys' tapes back in the day!"
