44112, gasp.....this is true

talked about this many times and it always falls on def
ears....I've sold merch for okp a few years back and the
response excellent. 


>The reason that I finally became a registered user is to
tell the Okayplayers "Powers That Be" that the fact
that there were no vendors selling T-shirts, Programs,
Buttons, Hats, CDs or anything of the sort was very
inexcusable. I always go to events, concerts or festivals and
the lesson I learned is that the show's "cherry on the
top" is the merchandise that you take home from the
show. I searched before and after the show hard for a dude
selling something, shit I was even looking for bootleg dude
that be on the street after the show, selling $10 Tees and $2
Pictures with the cardboard frames, lol (I bought one of those
from the Jill Scott show at Radio City w/Common, my son loves
that picture frame set-up with Com on one side and Jill on
the other; he swore that they were a couple!!) I was even
more amazed that since the concert's proceeds went to Dilla's
mother, that they didn't have any Dilla merchandise available
to sell for his foundation. 


this isn't a big priority after the drama tonight....
