Keef,

I just received my original Little Victory, and it is astonishing! My
wife will cry (in a good way). Thank you very much, and very best
wishes to you and yours for the holidays and beyond.

*WENT TO SEE A CONCERT LAST WEEK..
Public Enemy and X-clan!! These two groups are from hip-hop’s “Golden Age”, the late eighties, who along with groups like Brand Nubian, De La Soul, Tribe, and KRS-One, made my time in college special… *sigh*..Twas a wonderful time..

Anyhoo..this was the first time in seven years that P.E. had their full line-up. Chuck, Flav, Griff and the S1Ws..The only original member who wasn’t there was Terminator X, but the fill-in D.J. Lord backed up nicely along with a full band!!

It was great..I saw a lot of good folks I hadn’t seen in a while. Leroy Moore, Kevvy Kev, Davey D..it was like a Bay Area who’s who of Hip-Hop night.

P.E. tour it up for the first hour, smashing through with some of their greatest hits “Shut ’em Down”, “Welcome to the Terrordome”, “Rebel Without a Pause”..but what really stood out was “Son of a Bush”..It kicked ass.

Then the set got bogged down. Flav was thankin’ folks for supporting the band..but then he thanked everyone for supporting his VH-1 show. A bunch of us started booing, which gave me hope for this world. Then he did a really bad version of “911 is a Joke”. He basically raps over his own vocals on the track and he doesn’t do it very well. But I guess it was better than when I saw him drop the mic at the Fillmore and his vocal track was revealed to all.

We didn’t wait around for the band to come back out and end the show with “Brother’s Gonna Work it Out” and “Fight the Power”…But it was still a good show.

*I KNOW I’M GOING WAAAY BACK WITH THIS, BUT…
The Las Vegas First Friday event was great considering it was 29 degrees and we had to stand outside for five hours selling stuff. The event has gone from a cluster of galleries with a table or two outside to a multi-block event with several stages and events, food booths and over a hundred artists. It was incredible. And I wanna thank the folks who drove all the way from Barstow to meet me. Come back and see me when I return in the spring!!

*REMEMBER:
I’ve lost all my email addresses, so if you haven’t sent me an email in a while, please do, so I can add you again.

Happy Hollandaise!!
