Last Friday night part DOS
First off, Talib Kweli was two feet in front of me. I still can’t get over that. It’s quite a step up from when I saw him from a million miles away on the reject lawn at Rock The Bells this past summer, but even THEN he was amazing. So when I saw him at Yoshi’s in SF and he was so close that I could see his chest move whenever he took a breath, it’s safe to say that he took mine away.
When I saw him last, he was playing as Black Star with MosDef, but this time he played as Idle Worship with Res. Although I wish the performance concentrated more on his individual work instead of hers, I can’t complain too much because she rocked the place. She even belted a Fleetwood Mac cover and drove all of the drunk white b#tches in the house crazy. Especially the one near me, who was obstructing my view of Talib all night with her desperate passes at a guy who was clearly more into her brunette friend than her. Not that that stopped him from making out with her, RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. Ugh.
I went with my girls Casey and Brenda, and even though we got lost getting there and missed the beginning of his set, it was still such a great night and performance that it didn’t even matter. However, one quick quip: Do NOT buy a BlackBerry if you’re trying to actually use any of its claimed “apps.” Totally un-clutch in a time of desperation navigating throughout the city. It’s hard to explain just how unreliable it is, but just trust me on this one. STAY AWAY EVERYONE. #antiblackberrygang #yesijusthashtagged
*sigh. Alright. I guess winter break is over now. It’s weird, this break was so long, I kind of forgot that I’d eventually have to go back. However, I really need to focus this quarter, and I think I’ve overstayed my welcome in front of my parents’ beautiful HDTV. I’m back in San Diego now, lonely as hell, and I have my first class in 7 hours. What were my New Years’ Resolutions again? Oh yeah, get more sleep and get shit done. -____- ok good night.
