damn....it's been almost a WHOLE MONTH....where the hell has the Weekender been...out of town? out of the country?? I've been around...just not blogging...why is that? well i haven't really been partying lately... Ever since i've gotten back from Vegas...i've been going to our festivites around the bay area more, festivites during the day that is... Our great city of S.F. has just had some awesome street fairs. I've attended the Haight Street Fair, which of course was all about drinking!!! North Beach Festival, which is MORE DRINKING!!! I've never been so faded starting from 2pm till 11pm at night!!! That was such a trip... To go into a bar...and I mean...my friends and I were EXOTIC....meaning we would be the only colored people in a bar. WE LOVED IT... Well I should say I LOVED IT!!!! We'd go into a bar...get our drink on..and leave and there's still sunlight... Thank god there were some good eats at the North Beach Festival or in North Beach itself.

The latest event that I attended was the Gay Pride Parade. We didn't stay too long or go the the main event which was at Civic Center because we had another venue to hit... THE STERN GROVE FESTIVAL!!! Just this past Sunday we got to see some legends of the past who contributed to the culture of Hip-Hop, such as Newcleus, Electric Boogaloo, and Don Campell to name a few. If you ever go, be aware...no HIGH PLATFORM or slippery shoes due to the steep pavement of road you have to walk down to to reach the meadow, bring a blanket to sit on or a lawn chair, sunblock and a hat if you don't like baskin in the sun....

So what's up for this weekend??? OH GOD....too many to mention and i'll be out of town so I really didn't take much note... But I believe 111 Minna is goin on after work tomorrow and right after you can hit up the Starlight Room at Harry Denton's....Have a fun and safe 4th of July!!!
