Last Thursday, October 21, 2010, we trekked uptown to the New York City showing of "11-4-08", a participatory documentary providing a unique look at Obama's election, sponsored by Dame Dash, the Roc-a-fella co-founder infamous for pouring champagne over the (shrunken) heads of models.
After the screening and the Q&A with the film's "director" (read: editor), we trooped to Dash's new gallery/recording space DD172. The storefront was filled with hipsters and Hip Hop heads, sipping wine and kicking around red-white-and-blue balloons amidst the art installations (which, mostly, are pretty dope).

Fortunately for us, at some point during the night, thanks to our cool friends in cool places, we got a little private tour of the (now-defunct(?)) basement performance area known as Under 100.
And then, shortly thereafter, the previously conspicuously absent big dog Dash made his "appearance", standing atop a set of sectioned-off stairs for about a minute, looking disapprovingly down at us peons...
That was our cue to bounce, so we hailed a cab for the East Village. We got out at Astor, met up with the homie (Hip Hop producer) ATG, walked down Stuyvesant, past the Abe Lebewohl Triangle...
And on to the Blind Barber, where we took shots and danced with drunk cougars.
Word to NY.
