Extended Fam & DSTination flew Ginuwine out to Boston and what a nice lil treat that was. I was talkin to my homegirl earlier on in the night like, watch everyone show up after midnight...and guess what? I was right :-/ It still boggles my mind how we in Boston show up to clubs at midnight to party for 2 hours, lol. Anyways, your man Ginuwine came out and stayed for a pretty long time taking pics with his fans and even did quick interview with the local DYME Magazine. Shout out to Liz & MJ for putting on a great event...Bobby Shakes, hit me up.

Everyone came out in droves to celebrate K. Pritty's birthday. How old is K. Pritty anyways? Hmmm, rumor has it he's actually a vampire who been alive for over 175 years. Notice how you never see Pritty out in the daytime! I'm on to something here.

Yet Another Cristiano Photoshoot

Click Photo to Enlarge
The other day my friend came over as I was editing Cristiano's photos and she said, "More pics of Cris? Is he like your only model?" as she giggled her cute little self. The answer? Yes. It seems like whenever Cris comes over I end up grabbing my camera and snapping some photos. But I seriously do need more people to photograph, not named Cristiano, haha.

We drove around town looking for this particular abandoned building I remember from high school, and it was perfect. It had a huge chimney and an old boiler inside this room like looked like a scene from Saw. We headed over there and alas, they tore the damn building down! I was heated! So then we headed down to the South side of Brockton and found this building in the cut, got out the car, and went to work. The doors were welded shut, which sucks, but hey I think the pics came out pretty good.

I must admit, Todd and Bethanie's wedding was pretty damn fun. Great DJ, good people, excellent food...all done in like 3 weeks time! Gotta give it up to them, they pulled this off without a hitch. Yes it was probably short notice, but hey, when it's your time, it's your time, and ain't nothing gonna stand in your way. It was a packed house with friend's and family dancing from everything from Konpa and Zouk to House and Old School R&B (my personal favorite). Stay tuned for Part 2...coming soon, to a...nevermind, that was just sound corny.

District 9: Usain Bolt is not human

How appropriate that Peter Jackson’s new alien movie “District 9” came out this weekend. The same weekend Jamaica’s Usain Bolt broke the all-time record for the 100m by effortlessly finishing the race in 9.58 seconds. What’s the connection you say? Well, obviously Usain Bolt is an alien. I thought it was pretty apparent but a few folks actually think he’s human…cute. I just didn’t know they allowed aliens to race in Track & Field competitions. I could have sworn it was a human only tournament…I stand corrected.

I know it may be hard for you to swallow, but there are actually quite a few people that are convinced Bolt is human…weirdos. All the evidence is there, clearly, but I’ve convinced people to believe much stranger things so here I go. But first, just a quick background on our man…I mean, alien friend, Usain Bolt.

When he actually landed on Earth in unknown, but it’s believed to be sometime circa 1923. He lay dormant in his transport cell until the mid 1980s when he mysteriously appeared in Jamaica. He tried fitting in with the locals by joining the Track & Field team and it’s also believed that Bolt’s true nature has been known to Jamaican government the whole time. This is all we know about him so far.

So back to the fools who think this alien dude is human. Put it to you like this. At age 16, Bolt was the youngest ever gold medalist at the Junior World Championships. Not human. He was the first junior sprinter to finish the 200m under 20 seconds. Again, not human. In May 2008, he set the world record in the 100m finishing in 9.72 seconds, broke the record again in August 2008 with 9.69 seconds, and once again set a new record last week crossing the line at 9.58 seconds. He set 3 world records in the 100m in a year and half. Human? I think not. Oh…by the way, he set the new record racing INTO a .9m/s headwind! Had there be no wind at all he would have finished at 9.49 seconds! Humans don’t do that kind of sh*t! AND…I’m not done…he wasn’t even running full blast! AND…I said I’m not done…his new record was the largest ever margin of improvement in the 100m world record since the beginning of electronic timing! Take that!

So I demand a full on investigation on Bolt’s interplanetary background because it’s not fair that we have an extra-terrestrial species running and winning all the damn medals. I want all his medals and records erased and we’ll just start over. Send Bolt back on his spaceship to whatever planet he came from and he can take “Michael Phelps” with him…if that is indeed his real name.

So anyhoo, this was one of my one-off parties I did with the lovely Pam Leins, world renowned pimp with PALOnow, and Damien Patrick of Goodlife (he needs no introduction). It was definitely a hot night with some bad ass chicks we even had a group of tourists from Australia come through! We international baby!

Summer Movie Fun!

If you know me, and you probably do because I'm famous, then you know that I heart movies! If I could only do one thing for the rest of my life, watching movies would be it...and eating food, but that's another blog entry. If you haven't done so already go and pick up the latest issue of The Improper Bostonian. In it you'll read about all the new movies coming out. A few that I've noted...and put on my Must See Movie List (yes, I do have one):


Pee Wee's Big Adventure | Coolidge Corner Theatre | August 22, 12am
Who doesn't love this classic 80's movie! Pee Wee had the coolest bike with the craziest gadgets on it. Remember all the weird little toys he had?


The Princess Bride | Coolidge Corner Theatre | August 17, 7pm
I remember when I watched Saw the first time, I was like, hey...I know that dude from somewhere! Best line in the movie, "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."


Tyson | Brattle Theatre | August 12, 5:30pm & 9:30pm
Arguably the greatest boxer of all-time, in my eyes at least. I saw this documentary already but not on the big screen. Definitely a very moving film that gives you a glimpse into the mad mad world of Mike Tyson.


Ghostbusters | Brattle Theatre | August 21, 22, 23, 24, 9:30pm
Who you gonna call? Well it depends what you need. So if you have a leaky faucet you might wanna call a plumber...but if your leaky faucet is due to an annoying little ghost, yeah, you might wanna give the Ghostbusters a ring.

Onset Cape Verdean Festival

Great turnout at this year's Cape Verdean Festival in Onset. Peter and I got there pretty late...lots of unexpected traffic. Well, it was expected, but we kinda sorta forgot about it. I haven't been to this festival in maybe 10 years and a lot has changed. First off there were a lot more people there than I remembered, and second, a lot more NON-Cape Verdeans there than any of the other three festivals. I think the community down there is really supportive.

I had my boy Cristiano pull some girls over for a "photo op" and passed out my business cards, lol. It was a real deal operation. Shout out to Studio 24 Graphix for designing and printing my business cards! All in all a good time down there and we got back to Brockton in like 20 minutes!

Check out the pics from Lisa Bello's Album Release Party for "Double Life" available now! Red Sky was packed with devoted fans as Lisa and her band, including Louie and Pops, rocked the house with covers and original songs off her kickass album. I'll be honest, this was only my second time seeing The Bello Project perform and I must say, this is one of the most talented bands I've ever seen! Definitely see a bright future for Lisa and Louie as their fan base continues to grow...and they have some hardcore fans! Check out www.lisabello.com for concert dates.

What the Twit?

Twitter is down! May day, may day! I repeat, Twitter is down! What the hell am I gonna do with my life until it comes back up? I had so many neat tweets lined up for all my fans but NO! Twitter decides to shit the bed. Even worse, I update my Facebook status through Twitter because, yeah, my job thinks its beneficial to me that I don't have access to the second best website in the world. So now I can't even do that. What the hell did Twitter do with the hundreds of millions of dollar it got in venture capital! Grrrrr! Nelly is mad.

Where's the Blue?

I noticed something the other day while I was stuffing my face with a greasy Philly cheesesteak. Why is there no blue food? You can never find food that's blue. I mean, you have green food: apples, limes. You have yellow food: bananas, squash. Red food: tomatoes and tamales. But no blue! What's blue? I know what you're thinking, "Hey what about blueberries?" Yes and no, they're blue on the vine...but on the plate, its friggin' purple! PURPLE! There's no goddamn blue food! Where is it? I want blue food and I want it now! Where are they hiding it? It probably gives you superpowers or something...and they are hiding it! Conspiracy!

Red Carpet Fridays @ DJ's

Don't forget to check out the Grand Opening of Red Carpet Fridays @ DJ's, located at 222 Friend St, next to the TD Garden. Brought to you by Vanity Nightlife, PALOnow, Goodlife, and NightlifeNetwork.net. To RSVP, email vanitynightlife@gmail.com. Don't miss out...don't hear about it on Sunday!

The Bello Project @ Carson Beach

Click Photo To Enlarge
I went out to Carson Beach in South Boston over the weekend to support my homie Lisa Bello. This is actually the first time I've ever saw her perform live so it was definitely a treat...well, I did just meet her for the first tie a couple weeks ago, lol. But, we were Facebook friends for a long time so it's like we've been best buds all along!

Anyway, her Album Release Party is August, 5th at Red Sky in Fanueil Hall!
