Man, blogger is so wack and/or I'm so technically inpet that I had to link to Nick Catchdubs' site to show you the official email invite for my party "Different Kitchen at Low Bar" jumping off this Thursday (April 1). Nick will be DJ-ing along with some other good folks cooking up what I'm sure will a fine musical stew of sounds in the kitchen that night. So, BK and NYC heads come through and peep my attempt to make this blog come to life as a club night with all the eclecticism, good vibes and Brooklyn attitude, filtered through my own uniquely bohemian hip hop sensibility, you've come to expect from your favorite blog site.
