A Night in The Life of @AWKWORDrap & Friends: From @DD172 to @BlindBarberNYC

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).


[Maggie Wall x Jamelah]

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.

Liz Gilbert (Roberts) had everything a modern woman is supposed to dream of having - a husband, a house, a successful career - yet like so many others, she found herself lost, confused, and searching for what she really wanted in life. Newly divorced and at a crossroads, Gilbert steps out of her comfort zone, risking everything to change her life, embarking on a journey around the world that becomes a quest for self-discovery.
