12875154, "Last words as a single woman?"

Man she's alright. I think I'll keep her.
And as promised. DJ R-Tistic put his foot in this one.

I challenged him to stretch his norms without knowing the crowd or the couple, asked him to make two hours of soul, hip hop, 90s rock, some punk, drum and bass, and even a little bit of hair metal and he rose way above the bar.
I love this place, your lives have been some of the most inspirational lives in my reality. Because before the facebooks, myspaces, twitters, and instagrams it was just people posting and sharing lives. And I think a lot of us that aren't from Chicago, DC, Philly or NYC remember thinking that we were the only "weird" black people out there. This place helped me never to feel alone in the world which eventually lead me finding what I had hoped would be out there.
So with all sincerity, thank you OKP.

PLEASE send me the photos of my photobombs, i KNOW they're there.
...
frankly speaking, yours was the best wedding I've ever been to.
Please stay together so I won't feel like it was all just a dream.
Make it real!

12876281, Flames. An organic soul train line broke out by the second song
Posted by MEAT, Mon Aug-10-15 06:04 PM
The Breeders had people jumping
I'm just a girl had people screaming
Th Wiz had people boogying
Die Antword had people confused
Jon Brion had people crying
There was another soul train line
There was a conga line to Fire and Desire

12876093, I came out of posting retirement just to say: \o/

The wedding was dope, the two of you together are dope, and as individuals? Dope too.
I was teary all night thinking about how sweet it is to find the network of people who make sense in your life, esp since most of us who are a little left spend our teens/early adulthood kind of forcing fits and feeling irredeemably odd. Then learn to embrace it and somehow attract/find our tribe. OKP has been a big piece of that for me too. It's regular, here lol. It was an encouraging place to find, for sure. So I was at the reception looking at all your friends dancing it up and circling around you in love and it was the most moving thing. Then Jon Brion-Here We Go started playing and I was like "What is even happening??? Where am I??" Lol. All the tears. I say all that to say, I'm so happy for you. And glad to know you. Congrats!!
|
12876131, exactly, this mutha fucka played jon brion!
Posted by Kwesi, Mon Aug-10-15 03:49 PM
i, too, felt like i was in a twilight zone.
i've only heard that music in my own home or in my own headphones.
hearing it in public among others, who love it just as much - was way too cool.
surreal, even.
|
12876164, I said this very thing when it started playing
Posted by Socially Inept, Mon Aug-10-15 04:14 PM
>i've only heard that music in my own home or in my own

Very surreal.
(and birds sing sweeter
than books
tell how)

Posted by MEAT, Mon Aug-10-15 06:06 PM
Can't wait to get back to normal living and break out Rock Band.
Thank you so much for being there and here from basically the moment I set foot in DC.

it's true what they say...people are strange, when you're strangers.
not compassionate....only polite.
I am not like you at all and i cannot pretend.
