Mos Def was a previous headliner at the Afropunk Festival, 2010.
Plans near the Atlantic? Sucks to your assmar!
Just around now, Afropunk, a music and sports festival on "the 'other' Black experience," was supposed to start their festivities in BK, NY! Just around the same time the "Brooklyn Loves Michael Jackson" celebration party was going to get underway. But alas, they were both squashed, for everyone on the East coast is preparing for Hurricane Irene.
Many people were asked to evacuate from their homes, and others were asked to stay home and not to come outside. As an incentive to get to our destinations safely and timely, last night all MTA Buses and trains were free, culminating with a shutdown that's supposed to happen...well, right about now. If you haven't left, you're just about staying. Good luck.
Everyone's going to be inside anyway, why not blog it out? East side blog it out, west side,...no no, just the east side.
Might as well dream I am there at Afropunk eating from a taco truck getting ready for a skateboard competition (was looking forward to BMX more boo hoo)... Whatever...illusion postings (among other things) coming up all weekend! One thing's for sure, I won't stop till the power does...
