I realized last night that it's ok to be "cool"
You know, everyone is thinking about being cool. And with the right music, it's possible that everyone can become cool.
Right?
Listen to this and tell me you don't feel cool, just because you're listening to it:
Me and the friends I rolled out with had some deep conversations as well. Here we are spreading wisdom in the vip line:
Topics ranged from soul mates, to love, to balance, and we also debated if it was possible to meet the "one" at a club. I argued yes... because if you are there.... well then so can she/he :)
Right?!!
My homeboy definitely found a really awesome grrl...well she found him:
Which leads me to my final (and more personal) realization..... I don't need pick up lines.... if a girl likes me, I'll just know!
Cheers!
So with that, tonight promises more adventures. Join the cool kids and enjoy LA's music and nightlife culture....
Tonight is Afro Funke'!!!

NOHEA SOUL
"Nohea", the Hawaiian expression for "loveliness", perfectly describes the four beautiful and talented ladies who will share their joyful Aloha spirit with the Afro Funke' family this Thursday night. With a combined 20+ years of Polynesian dance experience on local and international stages, Nohea Soul debuts a one-of-a-kind program choreographed to both traditional and modern rhythms, paying homage to an ancient art form with a funky and slightly sassy twist. Be a part of the celebration as these lovely and soulful dancers get your heads bobbing, your bodies moving, and your hips wiggling just a little harder...

9-10pm listening party w/ giveways:
JOY JONES “GODCHILD”
"Afro-beat lullabies, future jazz protest songs and electronic hymns is how I would best describe the collection of ditties that is my debut full-length album, Godchild. I've spent quite a bit of time thinking about what I want to say and the messages that I want to put out. This has been a complete labor of love and I hope that it translates and transforms into a tool for change. Thank to some fabulous folk, incredible blessings, good ole fashioned elbow grease and divine unction, we are finally here. For starters, you can check the new 12" out on Love Jones Recordings/Recordbreakin. You can get yo vinyl on or check for it on itunes!"
