San Francisco

Don't want to circumvent my forthcoming Intrepid Media article, but, in short, the film was well recieved and we had a ball.


Apparently, I can't escape bad traffic no matter where I go. But I'll still take Frisco's.

Look at 'dem Warriors









Most of the people in this picture graduated from my high school in the mid 90s (or are married to someone who did so). I was grateful for the love and support. I hadn't seen some of these folks since '94.



Me and the one and only Greg Milk.


Then, we went to Richmond to worship at MacDonald Ave on Sunday morning. That's me with a very talented minister, Stacy Jones, and my travel buddy Tabitha Brown. And the orange GAP sweater strikes again.

your flow's colder, nigga, do over (c) me

Finally went to the famed Do Over, a weekly Hollywood event where eclectic types can meet and dance to some great music. It runs every Sunday from 2-10 at Crane's Hollywood Tavern. 9th Wonder was there, I had just missed his set, which I'm sure was fiyah. The DJs were killing it: a lot of disco type flow and he killed it when he went to an 80s mix with "Our House," Huey Lewis & the News, and of course, "Thriller." Guilty Simpson popped through, you'll see him in a few. And, as always, Aloe Blacc helped MC the event. It was fun. We'll be back. Here's some photos:

A picture our future children will laugh at one day. Ya boy J Breezie stay shooting photos and grindin on wifey with the simultaneousnessssssssss. Respect my hustle.


Homechick on the right had THE BIGGEST booty I've seen in a minute. I just had to get that off my chest. Sorry, no evidence. This is a family show.






I just had to get dude's fro. Oh, and that's Detroit rapper Guilty Simpson on the left.


Posters were supposed to be done, but because of a miscommunication, the earliest they'll be done is tomorrow (Friday.) Y'all better pray for me if it doesn't happen. It's funny how these companies be quick to take your loot, but slow to give you good customer service.

What have I been bumping? That new Carl Thomas is SOLID.



"Late Night Rendezvous" is serious. I'm probably more glad that he's finally off Bad Boy than he is. Finally, somebody making some real soulful R&B.

Otherwise:
Marvin Gaye -- What's Going On (and really just Marvin in general, lately; I've been thinking about my script again)
The Main Ingredient has been getting some burn.
Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes

Here's the type of random stuff be going through my mind at work:

1) What exactly is leukemia?
2) Why is it that I fully understood time signatures as a ten-year-old taking drum lessons, but don't get it now?
3) Doesn't everybody have some kind of phobia? Like leprophobia (the fear if leprosy). Don't we all have that?

I'm off the Bay. Will be back with pictures and stuff.

walking on sunshine

I guess I spoke too soon.

I got an email this morning informing me that How Shawn Parker Fell in Love was selected to screen at the San Francisco Black Film Festival. So I've pretty much been on cloud nine ever since. I called my wife, my mom, sent emails to the cast and crew. What's crazy is that it would've been on my dad's birthday. Now I'm in a mad dash and scramble to get a trailer together and get a poster and fliers. If you know someone that's good with posters and fliers, holla at me.

I don't even want to talk about Detroit right now. But I was checking out the Spurs-Suns game last night and I saw this....



That was crazy. Today they decided to suspend Amare and Diaw for 1 game as well as Robert Horry. I understand the logic behind the rule, but I think the suspension on the Phoenix players was suspect. You telling me that if your teammate gets crosschecked right in front of your bench, cats is really just gonna sit there and not do nothing? That ain't 'hood.

But I won't let my team's suspect play dampen my mood. :) I got a lot to get together
for Frisco.
