friday am i got back from ATL, took a nap, wrote a treatment (missing LOIC and ELIZABETHS engagement soiree 🙁 ) and headed out to SANTOS for my friday night par-tay.

the crowd was looking back to normal, a mix of all kinds of people who are interested in only good music. previously DIDDY had come through and twitter, or tweeted or twa-something about our party — which brought out some cool folks but also the wrong kind of folks who didn’t care about fun or good music, but rather being seen and seeing others.

anyways…as apart of our new addition to the party “PIZZA and PERFORMANCE”, we had CHESTER FRENCH perform. LUPE rolled through, also BEVY SMITH with LIYA KEBEDE, and the cast of SOUL FOOD!
