There comes a point in time when you have to start living your dream or you just spend the rest of your life dreaming about living.
In all possible aspects last weekend was pretty dope. On Friday I along with the rest of the FCC had the opportunity to rock alongside Dumate (a hip hop band from Madison) as well as Curumin (a funk trio from Brazil). This was a great experience getting to rock with two excellent bands and also a challenge. I have to give mad props to Dumate who opened up the set, because they were COLD AS HELL! This is the first time that we as a band have actually had to think "Damn! If we don't show our ass then this other band is definitely gonna steal the show"! Not to look at things from a competitive aspect, but Dumate really tore shit up and I bet ususally they are a very hard act to follow. On the other hand I wouldn't of had it any other way, then to have a band of their caliber open up a show for us.
Our set was really live to except the fact that Reuvin the guy who does sound completely skipped out on providing us with any quality sound. Besides that people said it looked like I was lip singing because the couldn't hear me the set was okay. At least it felt good.
Curumn also did their thing up until the weeee hours of the night. I don't beleive they finished their set until about 2:30 am! Insane right! Hey i guess you get ur monies worth when you travel all the way from Brazil.
My oldewr sister came out to the show and showed her little brother some love, which was cool. This was her first time seeing the band play together nad she enjoyed it. The funny thing is that most if my lyrics are kind of autobiographical and she picked some things up in the song "Back In The Day" that I said that she also remembered. Great!
Saturday I woke up bright and early because that day we were traveling to Green Bay to rock a show up north for all those Packer fans. I had to get up extra early because I had to make some dough hustling cd;s at Garfield Days (a local annual street festival). Needless to say I walked away 60 bucks richer in a matter of a few
hours and headed up to meet with the other members of the band. I must say that I get a ton of community support in this city...people love me, and it feels damn good to be loved!
We traveled and got to Green Bay in about 2.5 hours and we were excited to find out that the venue was well into their way of preparing us some barbeque! That shit was great too, I think I ate 4-6 burgers as well as everything else they had. I ate sooo much that I wanted to fall asleep instead of performing later on that night.
All is well that ends well though. We rocked an excellent show, played with two great bands (fable and the world flat & the championship), met some great folks, made some new fans, got into some mischeif and ate some goood breakfast the morning after the show (thanks to Paul Flemings parents, who i also have to thank for letting us crash all over her house)!
Life is good! Until next time.
OneLove & BlaxLife
