the night was filled with moments of both dopeness and bizarreness...

dope:
-open bar, holla
-the intro - from web to thought at work to star with little jams in between, shit was on point. drop it like its hot
-sa-ra groovin, how bout some death of a star though
-jaime on the keys, kid was frontin!!
-black thought controlling the flow of performers. get em off stage, thought!
-musiq dueling glenn on top of a roots groove
-hearing the silent treatment beat somewhere in there
-fiona was sublime
-mos actually doin the universal magnetic intro with quest on the beat....i've actually always wondered if i'd ever see that happen. can i get some double trouble?!
-anthony hamilton throwing his chips in

bizarre:
-jada getting all metal
-sa-ra's aforementioned backup baggage handler slash toy carriers (btw doods wings were tiight)
-most of the local/new/upcoming acts. graph? the new family? i dont get it. there were others but i dont remember
-seriously hearing crickets when some crowd participation was attempted
-canibus shutting out quest, tryin to be an acapella thug. canibus in general really...dood was tryin to show off his new muscles on the punk rock fashion tip
-mos's style of the night...on some 95 baggy basement steez
-fiona looking terrified, then only doing one song.

too bad la shows have to end at 2, it looked like they were ready to go for at least another hour and a half. did everyone follow the 1 guest per invite rule? the pass itself said it was good for 2 guests, but i played it safe. although going alone was awkward at first, open bar helped me make some friends. i dont know wut u other okayplayers look like. i was rockin the grey blazer and green hat. it was also weird trying to keep cool in there amongst the industry cats. i was so tempted to get my fanboy on at multiple occasions. btw industry heads mostly suck at crowd participation.

all in all a memorable night. thanks again for the opportunity.
