Summer 2010 Recap: Festivities
My summer got a slow start and I didn't do all that I planned to do but it was still a wonderful summer. If I'm not mistake it started with the annual "Takin It To The Streets Fest" where I got to see Mos Def perform for the first time. Hearing him live is amazing and hearing Umi Says live is something unforgettable.
Then there was July 10th, 2010... It was like a day from heaven. Beach day which then turned into a Naughty By Nature Concert on the beach. Following a "chop it up" session with Slum Village before their show. Later that night the Slum Village show was dope as hell... all of the acts were dope. Following the show was like a scene from a Spike Lee movie. Wicker Park was on ten. Street lights, taxis, pedestrians, that orange glow in the sky and as I looked to my right sitting on the corner of North Ave. and Milwaukee... a painting of the late great Michael Jackson in a windows three floors above where I sat. A diverse crowd of people that all vibed out to the sounds being played from speakers and an MP3 player on a bicycle. Classics artists and tracks that have made hip hop history. Spectators that knew all the words to each track... I didn't want to leave. A little comical touch to close that night... drunk chick busted her ass crossing the street. I'm just glad there were no cars coming!
Another big event of my summer was my first time at Lollapalooza... hmmm talk about an experience! I saw J. Cole perform for the first time at the Perry's stage... who by the way if you didn't know is my favorite new artist. I also caught Kidz in The Hall, The Black Keys, Lady Gaga, Raphael Saadiq, B.o.B., and The Wavves. Tons of happy people just enjoying music. Somewhat of a diverse crowd of people. A very enjoyable event. It took some getting used to I'll admit... I had to loosen up a bit. the combination of humid heat and sweaty bodies wasn't initially sitting well with me, but my nature like activities allowed for me to be a little more... tolerant of the conditions =) I could go on and on about Lollapalooza 2010 but I wont.
