So, I walked in the door of my apartment this morning and no more than 10 minutes after dropping my backpack on the floor the ground shook... I don't mean like the J train shaking the house as it goes by, I mean the earth shook.. It started slow and calm, then got rough, then it was over. It's a sunny day with a cold breeze, a nice day in the city and I was reminded today that this is San Francisco.. We're due for an earthquake... As scary as natural disasters are, it was an odd/warm reminder of where I am, and where i'm from. Frisco.

This was a few weeks ago but wanted to blog about it, ya dig?
So, Me and Gina got tickets for the premier at the Castro theater a few weeks ago to see a new documentary about one of my favorite artists, David Choe. Eight years in the making, 'Dirty Hands'- The art and crimes of David Choe, directed by Harry Kim, takes you on a serious journey through the last eight years of David's life. You see how he battles with himself, sex, his art, shoplifting, bombing, stints in jail (in a japanese jail for 3 months), soul searching in the Congo, finding God, and his love life. The intro to the movie is quite hilarious. Its Dave giving the intro but while he's speaking, there's three African prostitutes in the background butt naked, shaking their money makers... Needless to say it was pretty funny trying to hear him talk and then you look whats going on behind him and can't help but laugh... Great ice breaker. This movie is as much heart warming as it is heart breaking. As the movie goes on you start to realize how much life experience, pain, and feeling is truly behind his artwork. At least to me it does. It's a very inspiring film and I recommend any art lover or fan of his to go see it for yourself.
Just wanted to let everyone that was apart of making Urban Paradise 2009 such an amazing show that I appreciate all of your hard word, time, and energy. All the guest performers, thank you. The whole hula program at wspa, thank you. The entire hip hop program, holla wassup!!! Me, Chris, and Tati's project, THANK YOU!
