Hey there folks its been a minute. I still don't have a replacement camera for my broken one. But I got my wife, family and friends, so all is well. This valentines day I went to check The Gathering's 5th anniversary over at Cenci. For this special event Ian Friday was the guest Dj for the evening. Ramon Rawsoul opened up the night to get the crowd started. Then Ian Friday came on and had the crowd up in a frenzy, and Kai came on to close out the night .But enough of me lets see the pics.

Well Happy New Year to everyone. After a shaky 2008 the recession, war, the election, my camera. I decided to go bring in the new year with Sweat & Sir Thomas for their new year's eve party. It was a blast !!! When I got there Dj Theo was spinning upstairs and had the crowd in a frenzy with dope classics. He played "Peace Pipe " by B.T.Express when I got there, and when I was leaving "Girl You Need To Change Your Mind" by Eddie Kendricks. Downstairs Djs Ramon Rawsoul and Sir Thomas was killing it with their tag team spinning . I had to tear myself away from the vibe, it was definite the way to bring in the New Year. So Thanks Calvin, Mike and Thomas for a great party, Happy New Year to all, also if you like to donate to the camera fund you can make a donation on my myspace page. Thanks and lets see the pics.

So it was Christmas time here in Atlanta . It was a mellow holiday for me, with my camera still out I had to resort to my old digital point and shoot back up. I went to check out The Goodness at 529 EAV. This was the Soul on Ice James Brown Tribute. Dj Apple jac was on killing it with Classic James Brown cuts and break beats. The highlight for me was Apple Jac's remix of Body heat. After that I went around the corner to check out Spread Love with Dj Kemet. This was the holiday party so everyone was in a good holiday spirit. Dj Kemet ad the crowd groovin. A few folks that I haven't seen in a while showed up to say hello, and folks going back and forth between the two parties. To sum it up two good parties. Then on saturday I stopped by Moods Music to wish my man the Dynamite Dave Soul happy birthday . Dave was spinning his cool ecclectic grooves at a chill mellow vibe. To sum it up it was a great weekend for me . So lets see the pics enjoy. RIP Eartha Kitt
