There are no flyers as trill as this one. 9.11.2010. Let’s go. DYDC. The ConArtists Guild. DC to BC [me and my squad]. The Gee Pee [me again.].

Child’s Play. It’s a field day for adults that we’ve planned to coincide with the 9th anniversary of 9/11, one of the most devastating days in American history. We figure we’d throw something to get the community united, and raise money for a good cause at the same time.

Essentially, we just want people to come out and have a great time. Run around, enjoy yourselves. Show us how nice you were on the field in your prime. Meet new people. Play team and individual sports. Sure, it’ll be a little intense and hectic with all the people that’ll probably show up. But that’s why we got hella food for you guys, great DJs holding down the 1′s and 2′s (Tom Lim and Jerome Baker 3rd. Do I even need to say more?), and big names in the building (I can’t divulge who just yet, but trust me. We’ll have some people that’ll make you say, “Wow, those guys are here too!?”). We recruited renowned photographer Boney Starks flick flickin’, as well as my brother Jabari (who’s kind of a big deal – Google or YouTube him, you’ll see what I mean) controlling the crowd with the megaphone!

We’re working hard behind the scenes to make sure this event is a smashing success. I could tell you how little I’ve slept over the last two weeks getting this together, but that wouldn’t do anything but make you question my life choices.

Like we said, it’s for a good cause. All organizations involved in Child’s Play view September 11th, 2010 as a community service day amongst everything else. Your $5 participant fee will go a long way. A portion of the proceeds will go towards the National September 11 Memorial and Museum. Our goal is to raise enough to sponsor a cobblestone to be placed on the paths of the Memorial Plaza, a beautifully landscaped space surrounding the Memorial. For more info on the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, please visit: http://www.national911memorial.org/

All the info is on the flyer, but I’ll type it again just so Google can soak it up for the search engines. Yeah, that’s a Jedi Mind Trick I just leaked. Eat it up, guys.

Who: DYDC, ConArtistsGuild, DC to BC / The Gee Pee

What: Child’s Play: A Field Day for Adults!

When: Saturday, September 11, 1-8pm

Any questions? Holler at me. @DCtoBC on Twitter, or e-mail me. This will be a momentous occasion, and you should fall through. If you aren’t participating, at least come out and see those who are participating! Oh, and BE ON TIME! We’re starting when the flyer says we’re starting!

RIP to the King of Pop. In honor of his birthday today, I’ve decided to post one of my all-time favorite movies, Moonwalker.

I kid you not. The entire joint is in DCtoBC’s patented HD (hella dope) quality. You know you’ve been looking for this for a few years.

If you haven’t seen this joint, then clear your schedule and watch it immediately. The film includes everything from the live concert scenes to the part where he runs away from the crazy fans and battles the rabbit to the actual movie. A classic. I invite you to relive your childhood here for the next 88 minutes. Spread the word, please.

If you haven’t already guessed from the blog entry’s title, this post is about how a fat, homosexual man swindled the $#!t out of me during my first weekend in New York City. It’s also about how comedian Aziz Ansari (or Raaaaaaaandy, his ridiculously named alter-ego with whom you may be more familiar) came through in the clutch for me, which is why his picture headlines this post. This isn’t a short post. In fact, it’s rather long, and quite unfortunate, to be honest. If you’re up for a read, then continue.

(more…)

I guess so.

Shout out to my man Leon from ListenToLeon.Net (literally the funniest blog I’ve ever read; I’m a loyal reader. If you’re from DC, you should read it. Hell, even if you’re not.) for reaching out to get this joint in motion, as well as my man Brandon with Usual Suspectz for actually bringing everything to fruition.

I’ll be at Park around 5pm today, August 26th, eating good with my man Freddie Brown, as well as the rest of the bloggers (some of whom I know already, others who I’m looking forward to finally meeting), so come check us, baby. All the info you need is on the flyer. Come through, I’d love to read any loyal readers / any people who don’t give a f*ck about DC to BC but want to eat and drink good!

Thanks to everybody for entering! I wish eveybody could win; unfortunately, that’s not the case. There’s just one winner, and his name is Bryan Sona. I’ll include his winning e-mail in here, so you guys can see why he won. Read on:

Subject: WILL COOK FOR ROCK THE BELL TICKETS! (LAST MINUTE ENTRY)

“WELL, I CAN OBVIOUSLY DO BETTER THAN THAT (COOKING FOR TICKETS) SO THE PICTURE IN THE ATTACHMENT WILL SPEAK FOR ME. DON’T BE ALARMED, ALTHOUGH IT’S A BIT VISUALLY STRIKING. IF YOU HAVE DOUBTS ON CHECKING IT, FWD IT TO YOUR FAVORITE FEMALE COMPANION, HOPEFULLY IT CAN CHARM HER TO CHARM YOU TO DECLARE ME THE WINNER. I’LL PAUSE ON THE JOKES TO GET SERIOUS A BIT, I HAVE TWO FRIENDS WHO HAVEN’T BEEN TO A CONCERT BEFORE AND THIS IS MY SACRIFICE FOR THEM.

SEE YOU AT THE FINISH LINE.”

That’s the pic he included in his entry. Brilliance on so many levels. Well, more like tomf*ckery to a degree I’ve never seen before, but he went all out, and for that, he gets these two tickets. Congrats, Bryan.

Still need tickets? Grab some here.

An article in Atlanta’s Creative Loafing informed me that the three ATLiens that make up the alternative rap group Supreeme have disbanded and gone their separate ways. These guys were always interesting to me, as they all had completely unique flows but could come together on a track and it worked.

Word on the streets is that Sam (the white dude in the group) is going to cooking school, Negashi (middle with the tank top) moved to Oakland and is coming out with a solo album. Shaka? Well, this interview explains how things went down from his point of view, and it looks like he was all for staying together. Probably one of the saddest music industry things I’ve heard in a while.

With the announcement of the group’s end came their final album, God Bless The Child, which has some cool joints on it. Very dark album though! Just look at that album artwork. My goodness. Jam the sample below (featuring my man Fat Tony), and then download the tape by clicking the link or the artwork. Enjoy.

Well, it’s your lucky day. I got two (2) lawn tickets with somebody’s name on ‘em!

You wanna win? I’ll tell you what to do.

1. Follow me (@DCtoBC) and @TheGeePee on Twitter.

2. Retweet this joint. The more times, the merrier. Just don’t go too HAM, okay?

3. E-mail me at info[at]DCtoBC.com saying that you’ve indeed done these things, and that you’d love the tickets. Give me a reason, too. It doesn’t have to be anything crazy, but just so I know you’re passionate about this stuff. You also should distinguish yourself from others, cuz this is really the only place to do that. Do something cool, like the guy who swallowed those worms for the Wale “Chillin’” tees a year ago. (Yeah, he did that for one of my tees. Ridiculous. Recorded that joint on Vimeo and everything. Check the archives if you don’t believe me.) Okay, not that crazy, but you know what I mean.

Got it? Good. The winner will be picked by the end of today, and will be notified via e-mail. I’m assuming there will be a rack of people who enter, so I’ll have to just wait until later to pick the lucky guy/gal.

We all know everybody can’t win, and that sucks.  A lot. We also know not everybody wants to be on the lawn (although if you’re a partygoer / looking for an awesome time, I recommend it.). For you guys, just grab your tix here.

I wish I knew more. Ridiculous, right? Right. Did I act like there hasn’t been a tomfoolery post in over 8 months? I did. Just work with me here. We’re baaaaaack…new bloggers, too. Just be on the look out for ‘em.

Simple as that. I’ll be back with a vengeance shortly. Let me just get it together.

Kinda like Oscar the Grouch in this Dave Chappelle stand-up.

“Get it together, Grouch. Get a job, Grouch.”

I don’t blog much anymore, so every time I blog, it’ll be for a momentous occasion. Like this.

What is Rock Creek Social Club?

The Rock Creek Social Club is an allegiance of like-minded individuals whose aim is to unite through a diverse social milieu representative of DC’s past and present. Combining the unique experiences and talents of each member, a straightforward connection is created with all those from varying walks of life wanting the Rock Creek Social Club experience. RCSC takes a limitless approach with all endeavors in order to remain relevant in the world of lifestyle events. Constantly changing yet often stagnant, we see it necessary to regularly tap the pulse of DC to stay abreast of “what the streets are talkin” to give the people what they want. The finer things in fashion, music, art, and design are of utmost importance within DC’s creative circle, while individuality leads the way. RCSC opens its doors to all, but affiliation is open only for those who live by these same principles.

So am I involved? Shrug. Who knows, man. But at the end of the day, the mystery surrounding this incredibly innovative “social club” has heightened the awareness of the entire creative collective in the DC metropolitan area. On Tuesday, August 17th, Recess Lounge will be transformed into a trillest house party in the city, and it’ll be the birth of a new scene in the nightlife world that’s teeming with the phony socialites with no bread to pay their phone bill but will buy a round of drinks with no problem.

It’s a more realistic, carefree night. Wear what you want. There’s no cover. There’s even an open bar from 9:30-10:30, sponsored by Belvedere Vodka. So all I’m saying is, if you want a change of scenery, some new faces to glance at, and to make Tuesday more exciting than it usually is, make an appearance. And if that didn’t sell you, this video should.

See you Tuesday, then? Cool.
