Last night all of us got together and went out to Amy's Wednesday night at Bodega. As I stated before I really luv luv luv this bar. So much so that Ahryn and I are seriously thinking of having a joint bday party in March there..more details to follow. Ahryn & I always have the bestis time togther and when you add other family/friends to the mix the nite just gets better and better. Shout out to the big homie Merv (the first man of silkandlookies.. chain to come soon, lmao) who came out and kicked it, and fit in sooo perfectly with all of us. Take a lookie:

Daniel Gibson & Keyshia Cole Thanksgiving Event

Happy Thanksgiving people!! Right now all of you are probably getting ready for later tonite when you eat dinner with your families. I had a few minutes of down time and wanted to get this post up. On Tuesday I (thanks to Izzy) was given the opportunity to hand out turkeys and other groceries at Quicken loans arena courtsey of Daniel "Boobie" Gibson and Keyshia Cole. Boobie couldn't be there because the Cavs were playing Indiana that night but the crowd saw a short video of him prior to the turkeys being handed out. After that the Cavaliers girls came out and did a really cute performance that the crowd (specifically the men) seemed to really enjoy, lol. We handed about 100 (of very heavy) turkeys, and I think people were very grateful to receive them, especially in these economic times...every little bit helps, ya know?? I felt really privileged to be invited and participate, so thanks Iz :). Take a lookie:

Bright Lights, Big City

I've been going to New York every year without fail since I was nine years old and it never ever gets old to me. Everytime I go I'm as excited and in awe of the city, just like a person who is visiting for the first time. I still can't get over how many people are there, especially in Times Square. I mean 1:30am in NYC looks like 5pm in Cleveland...it's crazy. And when you have good weather, like we had this weekend, it makes visiting there even better.
I got to see my sister Natasha and her family, who live in Long Island. Tasha and I have been hanging tough in NYC for the last 20 years. I was with her when I witnessed by first robbery, smh, on the New York subway going to her house in Brooklyn. She took me to my first club at 14 (the Paladium), showed me my first college experience (she went to NYU), went with me to pick up tickets from Damon Dash to see Jay-z at the Apollo (4th row..another story in itself, lol), picked me up from the Tunnel (back when Funk master Flex was spinning on Sundays) when Erick Sermons protege/cousin/whatever she was to hims' car got towed..and I could keep goin and goin but then this post would never end, lmao. Let's just say no New York trip would be complete without seeing her..
My bestie Robin and her family drove all the way from Boston to see me (luv u Rah), my grandmother, aunt, and cuz from DC also drove up to see us...and I hooked up with my new friend Keely...To say I crammed a lot into 4 days would be an understatement. So take a lookie at the pics below:

Bye bye, New York! On the plane, goin back to Cleveland..I was soooo bored bc we sat on the runway for 2 hours, due to a mechanical problem...(nothin else to do but take pics, lol), we eventually had to switch planes.
