“WTF!” Location to be emailed the day of the event by 7 pm. “Really?”
“That’s like the raves from old.” A friend mentioned over the phone. Yeah, the raves of old that your friend did not fly over 3,000 miles to attend. You think to yourself when riding from the airport. Your thoughts lost on the whereabouts of the discreet venue. As the minutes inch closer to the said time, an uncomfortable emptiness is felt. A general admission ticket purchased online reads location: TBA. Trust is treated with caution. But life is an adventure. Right? (more…)

“Happy birthday to you.” A chorus sings across the expanse of fluorescent and exchange. Thereafter, an elder directs those gathered to belt the livelier soul-stirring rendition of Stevie Wonder’s “Happy Birthday.”
“People always forget the lyrics to the second verse.” Everyone’s Favorite Photographer mentions over the growing serenade.” The time reads 9:30 pm. Wait! The day party was advertised to conclude at 8 pm. Oh well. Here we are at 9:30. Here we are. (more…)

Day 2
Exit the McPherson Square Metro Station, at the corner of I and 14th Streets. Watch out! Carefully, look both ways before crossing the bustling intersection. Turn right onto the walkway. That leads to the fountain, the epicenter of the greenspace named after a Founding Father. Forward north is the performance stage. A steel beam structure with canopy top protects the music equipment from torrential elements. Rain? Not today. The sky appears as a glass ocean. Cloudless. Without celestial disturbance. However, the wind gusts at 30 miles per hour. Today, the temperature is chillier than twenty-four hours earlier at this exact location. The sun’s rays are challenged to warm the family of five picnicking on the grassy knoll. Their jackets and hoods blow in the air as screaming children run to the play area. (more…)

“Oh, I did aight.” Kenny Dixon Jr jokes with you the following afternoon. He walks arm and arm showing off his lady around Franklin Park. You marvel, he appears refreshed, his skin polished in the glowing sun.
Later that evening, Hostess Reesa Renee reminds the people. “Give it up for Moodymann last night,” with microphone in hand as if she is ready to spit bars. The Maryland born singer/songwriter proceeds to read the bio of the upcoming headliner who the people came to see. (more…)

“Put em’ up. Put em’ up. Put em’ up.” The host yells into the microphone. There is not one but two of em yelling into microphones. Their mumblings about someone later giving hugs and then that someone giving two hugs after dark. All the while the deejay appears perplexed. Confused at the vocal back and forth between the two. Against the soundtrack of snaps and hiss on Mary Mary’s “Walking.” (more…)
