It’s now 3 something in the AM, August 30 2009 and I am quite happy with my Mike festivities. The Questlove party was great! A Lot of people had on MJ T shirts and fedoras. He played Get It Together and I Betcha! I learned something. Jump by Kriss Kross samples the piano from I Want You Back. I teared up when Niki called me out on zoning out on them. I just let them fall because it was so hot my face was wet anyway. I didn’t even realize it…the zoning out. Then it dawned on me that I was in THAT place in a club full of people. Felt good that it could just be him and I in a hot sweaty slavery cotton field sweat filled room. He also played a live version or two…but the titles escape me right now. I guess I teared up out of sadness. He played some Mike vocal exercises; something about “O.” he even played some of that interview where Mike says he likes Bar-B-Que, All in all it was good to be out fellowshipping in the name of Mike. Questlove even played Whatsupwitu! Gotta go to sleep now. I am nodding while writing this. More to come…
August 30 2009 continued…
Went to Thrill The World practice. Mahdroo is so quirky and cool. I’m getting back into the swing of things. There were some Greasers there chillin’ in the park with their cool rides and what not. We became their entertainment. One guy even got up and danced with us…I believe it was his birthday. There were some cool older white ladies there. I recruited one of Felicia’s friends from her birthday party.
…Questlove also played Give It Up, Who Is It, and a smidgeon of Speed Demon. He kicked it off with Whatever you got I want and even played If don’t love you this way. It was so freakin’ hot upstairs. I mean hot as cotton picking in the Mississippi delta hot. My hair was gone! Luckily the speakers outside were playing Questlove’s mix. While I was dancing outside I saw something that looked like a star above. There were no other stars in the sky, just that one star. I watched it for a little and it didn’t move. I’d like to think that it was Mike looking down on us. Some guy had on a T Shirt that said CHAMONE. It was cute. Arissa from Real World Las Vegas was working the table where you pay and crap. She looks the same, but good lord is she ain’t boney as all get out. She needs more than a sandwich. It was some Jamaican looking chick there who looked like she stepped right up off the Rap video set. I mean coochie cutter shorts and some snazzy shoes with a swim suit top and tank top on with shades on at night and a fly short cut. She was cute, but dramatically over/under dressed. Chevonne and I stopped by that building on Pico that is painted black and white with Mike’s name and You Rocked Our World painted across it. Kinda got trapped in the Burger King drive thru, but we were able to get out.
Then later on Taryn and I stopped by during daylight to get a good picture of it.
