A special presentation will be given to pioneering Holy Hip veterans GRITS that evening too.
Monday night, April 21, 2008, the party continues at The Place located 217 2nd Ave.  DJ Will and DJ Lace will start where they left off Sunday. Saving the best for last, the Tuesday night finale at the same location will have the crowd rocking to soulful tunes throughout the night.

All shows start at 6:30 p.m. and there is a $5 cover for Gospel Music Association members and college students. $10 cover for general admission.
Why such as an elaborate presentation for the café? RARE Entertainment CEO, Carlos Hale answered, "It’s our way of celebrating the best in urban Gospel music and giving back to the fans that supported us in the first three years."
Since 2005, the Urban Soul Café serves as a vehicle to promote the urban Gospel music genre and provide a safe haven for Christians to fellowship with one another in a less structured setting without losing the focus of Christ.  Throughout the years, the café’s territory increases fruitfully as record attendance numbers continue to shoot through the roof. Over 200 major and independent artists have appeared on the Urban Soul Café stage.  "It’s more than music, it’s a lifestyle," says Mr. Hale. "There’s fun, excitement, networking and there is Jesus in the midst." 
To help celebrate this momentous occasion, business partners The Takeover Media Group, Urban Gospel Entertainment, Gospel City.com, 92Q WQQK, ClearWire, and The Higher Ground International DJ Record Pool have all given a special present to the Soul Café with their generous support.
All events are open to the public and media; minimum age requirement of 18.

Yeah that's right, I said it!!
What's wrong with CHRISTian Girl's?...

(Disclaimer: This bulletin does NOT apply to every CHRISTian Girl
But I would be lying, if it wasn't aimed at alot of you.. lol

I mean, I'm sure I'm not alone on this
and fella's let me know if you feel the same way.....

but it just seems to me, that the "worldy" girl's
show alot more interest than The CHRISTian Girl's.. 

The problem is, I don't wanna be with them
I WANT A CHRISTIAN GIRL!!!  .)

I mean, you have no idea how frustrating it is
to try and walk away from the world ---
and the type of girl's we used to talk to

when The CHRISTian Girl's just blow us off
like we dont even exist.. lol

I mean I'm starting to feel like The Apostle Paul.. lol

You have no idea how many times
i sent a "CHRISTian Girl" a friend request or note
that either was not accepted or answered at all (go figure)

meanwhile some porn star or prostitute
is busy sending me a friend request..  lol

(that was an exageration people,  but you get the point)

I mean, I just wanted to know
if any other CHRISTian men are dealing with this right now
cause it's to the point where it's almost almost comedic..  lol

Especially when you have a guy
who just wants to do things right
and for him, that CHRISTian Girl could be that final addition

i mean, CHRISTian Guy's are still guy's
and we need that love and attention..

So if The CHRISTian Girl's don't give it
than how in the world are we suppossed to get it!!

talk about a rock and a hard place--  lol

and watch more secular girl's respond to this bulletin
than the CHRISTian Girl's.. lol

I mean, Like so many CHRISTian Guy's
I would Love a good CHRISTian Woman to settle down with,
but it's not that easy to find them now a day's,
especially in New York.. lol

I mean, There's really no single CHRISTian Girl's
(in my age group) that go to my Church
so what am I suppossed to do, leave the Church
cause of that-- NOOOOOO !!  lol

Aside from that, you won't find me in the club
and even if i was there, what am i gonna find there-- lol

Remy Martin-- lol

So yeah, myspace or not
if i see a woman  "Sold out For CHRIST"
on her page or in the streets ---

and i feel like she's attractive -
than of course i might be interested..

but what part of that
do CHRISTian girls have a problem with.. lol

And why is it that us CHRISTian Guy's
might appear "thirsty" 
when we write a CHRISTian Woman
and actually show interest..

isn't that what were suppossed to do-- lol

I mean, I know it's GOD
who makes the love connection for us
but I dont know who it's gonna be
or where she's gonna be from..  lol

All i know, is that she gotta be a CHRISTian!!!

So yeah, when i see a CHRISTian Girl
my eye's light up--
but why are you guy's so quick to put out that light

I just had to speak on this, for me
and all the Single CHRISTian Men out there
who are in the same situation as me..

And You ladies had waiting to exhale
and all these other girl movies
to vent out your frustrations on men  .)

well I'm speaking out for the men now~!

AND WHAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH CHRISTIAN GIRL'S!  lol

..
