WORD?!

That's probably what you're thinking as i slide back into full effect..
YES! I, can do that :)
Lots of updates..and my time away was spent writing, interviewing (reversed) and simply contemplating my life and the work I do. I've picked up some PR work for some artists...Iman Willaims...and Dexter Kendrick (homeboy from when i was 4ft tall). So look out for them.

AUTHENTIC! i guess i should give you a taste of the logo, huh? This will be EVERYWHERE!!! :D Thank you to Lamar (graphic designer) in Detroit who worked so hard on the design and the many images i had to verbally explain to him...he achieved exactly what was in my mind. love.

Updates on the events in October:

October 17, 2008:

• G Lounge: 6pm-9pm, Opening Reception...we just might stay there and kick it...or go somewhere else to kick off the weekend!October 18, 2008:

October 18, 2008:

• As of right now, the location for the summit will be held at Zion Baptist Church...However, We are also considering Irvine Auditorium on UPenn's campus as well. Those times will not change and it will be from 1-5pm...with a break in between. Celebrity panelist and entertainment, providing the location.
• Later on that evening will be the Benefit Concert! We selected F.U.E.L. , then someone bought ALLLL the dates for October. Then we selected Solmssen Court on UofArts campus..and someone booked those dates too! So, have no fear...the venue will be announced soon for the concert. But, it will start at 9:30 with doors opening at 8. Tix will be 20 at the door...10 if you know Megan or I! :D
  

I hope you are excited about this....we are confirming artists everyday and they are spread out all over the country...new energy is what we are trying to create and bring to Philadelphia.

Also...Authentic is taking a chance and in August, we will host our first monthly party at Ms. Tootsie's Lounge. It has a classic look and intimate in atmosphere...not sure what we will call this event, but it'll be something tasty ;)
...so more details on that later..but we will feature a new DJ every event..female of course!
They are offering us a Wednesday for trial purposes..

In the meantime...I've been connecting with some amazing artists..most recently, I've interviewed Simone (Nina Simone's daughter), Dave Ghetto (MC from Camden, NJ...toured with The Roots), Georgia Anne Muldrow (amazing artist/producer...most recently wrote, sung and produced the track Master Teacher on Erykah Badu's new joint...working to bring her to Philly...you will LOVE her, promise)
On top of that..I've been pitching freelance articles to Wax Poetics :) Praying that something will come with my efforts to woo the editor lol
My brain is full...been thinking far too much and my senses are tapped out. I need some sleep lol But, i'm enjoying this ride...and come December I'll be blogging from Brazil...so it will all be worth it :)

As always...a track to bless you properly.
