SNL

*ignore my fat toesies*

We've had very fickle weather in the D lately. Kinda cold, super humid, sunny for an hour... *sigh*. You can wear a coat in the morning but be in your tank by 4pm, gotta love Texas.

Today I attempted to get rid of old clothes I didn't wear anymore and it was a complete and utter fail. I went to Platos Closet with my friend Brooke and they only took a tenth of the clothes I brought in and I ended up making a whopping $13.45! They didn't even take the pieces I thought were "best"! After that defeat I thought I'd take vengence upon the first store and take the rest of my clothing to their competitor Buffalo Exchange. They're known for giving better offers on your clothes, especially if they're in good condition, as javascript:void(0)mine were (some not even worn). After a a 25 minute drive that took 45 due to traffic we finally arrived at the second Consignment store downtown and wasn't allowed to take part in the exchange because my license was expired. Please cue the violins.

After all that dissapointment and wasted gas I needed to undwind with a few good films. Brooke and I got some chinese food, picked up my other friend Alice and decided to undwind with a movie night. We watched an Indpendent film I had been dying to see, "The Strange Thing About The Johnsons". It's an incredibly twisted movie. To be honest, anything I say won't do the film justice, you just have to watch it. Here's the trailer...

IAMDONALD

Last night I had the pleasure of going to the Dallas stop of Donald Glover/Childish Gambino's "IAMDONALD" tour. Let me just say this now....he can totally get it.
The coolest part about the show is that he opened...for himself. He did standup for20-25 minutes then got into his music. I don't wanna be a spoiler for those of you who will be seeing him in your city, but it's a funnyass transition.
^Feelin' it.
Donald Christ
I've got this Sunday baby, I wanna spend it with you.


After the show I waited around to see if Donald would come back to the stage to chop it up with us, 30 minutes passed & he didn't. I saw his crew packing up so I knew he was getting ready to go on the bus. (I've been to shows at that place before, I know the routine, I'm no creep)
^The SUHCURITY guard jumped in our pic, cool guy.


My friend Brooke and I went to the back where his tour bus was parked with about 15-20 other fans who were crowded around yellow caution tape, lol. We waited for around 20 minutes & then he came out. He is THE sweetest, funniest, most down to earth guy ever. He went down the line taking pictures, signing things and actually speaking to each and everyone of us who said something. I cracked a couple of jokes that he laughed at. I even got to do the "Biblioteca" rap from Community with him for the 3 seconds I knew and this other kid came through and killed it. He knew the whole thing. It was great. I'm an even bigger fan now.
^Before this one I go "Can I be the darkskin girl in your video?" LOL & he pulled me in for a cheek kiss but the guy taking the picture missed it, I frowned, and he tugged me like that all jokingly to cheer me up.
^Of course my kiss was captured ;]

The show was awesome, the vibe of the crowd was so excellent and Mr.Glover put on a terrific performance. He's definitely NOT just a rapper.


P.S. I have a couple of videos I would upload if Vimeo would get some sense. Smh. Stay tuned!

Highschool Musical

The singer, and rappers are all from my highschool. Two students and two teachers. One was my English teacher sophomore year and my 2nd favorite teacher Mr. Mountain. The other was my school's choir director Mr.Lazo. The student rapping was Jason Ikpatt who obviously goes by the stage name of Sticky Icky and the one on the piano was Taylor Louis *swoon*. HOW FUCKING COOL IS THIS? I'm so impressed and proud of them. I'm kind of embarrassed that I wasn't aware of the talent walking the halls around me. Respect.

Numtawknbout?

If you're not familiar, I suggest you get aqainted quick fast and in a hurry. Friday night I had the pleasure of attending the Numtawknbout showcase featuring a handfull of brilliant artists from the Dallas area, including my new boyfriend (lol) Dustin Cavazos. It was SUCH a great show. Probabably why I didn't take too many pictures, too busy getting live in the audience. Lol, you guys should allllll check out Dustin's music HERE. & OMG BUY HIS CD, if not for anything, the brilliant casing.
Lulz @ Jesse's head being cut off.
Don't let the incline plain fool ya, I'm not that tall.
Dustin & I ♥
The only picture I got of him preforming :/
The highlight of the show was when he threw out the "numtawknbout" tee and I got it. ^_^
