Another fun night at the APT. Big thanks to DJ Dez for coming through, as well as Jeff and Chip who rocked the upstairs, seriously. Here's some shots courtesy Jay Lew on the point & shoot.
Lots of love going out to my good friend Natalie and Khairi, who finally got married after years of talking a big game. It was worth the wait though, and we all gathered on an amazing NYC rooftop to celebrate in style.
I had a great night splitting my time between DJ'ing (this is our United Future Organization look) and catering. Shouts to Jay and Dustin for the flicks, and once again, congrats to the newlyweds!
I'm always feeling the great infographics in the NY Times. However, I'm not feeling the Republicans at all, no matter how many times they mention 'change'. Don't believe the hype.
When my friends Robi Bear & Leanne Wright aren't running Wadada, they are making fun art. The original "champions of naivate".

I'm excited about the forthcoming album from Illa J, the younger brother of Dilla. Apparently Delicious Vinyl has a gang of old Jay Dee beats from the Pharcyde Labcabbin' days that have been on ice for years now. Check it out and download the first single free.
Paual Scher and the Pentagram NYC office swap out an 'O' flag, in place of the usual 'P', outside their office in Manhattan.
One of my favorite image-makers, Solve Sundsbo, has an exhibition at the mini-Colette in Paris right now.
