See You Next Monday

Okay:

It's Friday and I don't have much left to say. I've already ran the gamut this week. Sex, politics, hip hop and gas. What I have not blogged about, however, is the fact that I have a gig this Monday (Feb. 11th) at Bar Nun. I know you've all been noticing the ubiquitous flyers (which I desgined myself, thank you), but I haven't written about it yet.

At any rate, on Monday February 11 I'll be performing at Bar Nun (1326 U St, NW) with the Els and Ginger Bleu. The show is called "I Still Love H.E.R." in reference to my favorite emcee and yours (read sarcasm) Common's 1995 ode to hip hop. It's a Black Broadway Valentine's Day celebration and I'll be performing a thirty minute set of Cool Cee Brown love songs. Only I don't really write love songs in the traditional sense, so it should be an interesting night.

It's funny though because this event almost never happened. We were going to do it at another venue, big budget style. I had investors lined up and everything. I was going to have decorations and lengerie models and a sex toy merch table in the back and porn projected on the wall, but then the venue owner backed out. Something about not wanting to offend his clientele with anything lewd or obscene and can I review all the lyrics and the music before the performance? I kind of lost interest for a while after that.

But a few weeks ago I visited Bar Nun and asked the open mic host, Jabari, if I could take over for one night and he agreed, not knowing what he was getting himself into.

I think a few free drinks come with the deal, which is also a bad idea.

I got The Els, a hip hop band that normally performs with Asheru, to agree to back me up. And I got Ginger Bleu, a wonderful young lady from Texas to agree to be my backup singer.

Also, I'm printing up a special Valentine's Day Mixtape called Romance Revisited with all of my "love songs" on it. But I'm only printing up a few copies so you'll have to be there Monday night to get your hands on it.

Five dollars to get in. Show starts around nine-thirty-ish.

There will be free giveaways for the ladies, condoms and lube dube and the like. And lots of eye candy for the fellas. No porn or dildos though, unfortunately. Apparently you have to get, like, a permit for that sort of thing. Would have been dope though.

See you there. Bring your dancing shoes cuz we will be jammin!

Thanks for reading.
