Labor Day Weekend

Self,

This was a very active holiday weekend for me.....probably one of the busiest Labor Day weekend I've had in a long time.

I kicked off this weekend by seeing Janet Jackson in concert with KB and another friend of mine.  It was fun.  This tour was billed as "The Number Ones: Up Close & Personal" and really....I had forgotten how many chart climbers she has....no everything didn't hit #1, but there were folks slightly dissappointed that they didn't hear ALL of their favorite songs by her.  That said she still have so many #1s that she didn't perform the whole song for some of them.

My friend that went to see Janet with me and KB talked about how great of a show Sade gave when he went to see her, I had heard the same thing from Schehimazade, and Prince Esquire was returning to Cali in time to catch her last show in the USA.  Esquire teased me with the idea that his mom would have an extra ticket for me but that didn't work out.  So I went online and started looking where else she would be, which is how I discovered that the Sept 4 show is here last in the US becasue she's heading to Frankfort or Brussels (yes if I had the money I would have loved to made the trip to either of those places to see her!)  However that was out of the question.  What I did learn was that she would be at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, on Sept 3rd.  Although KB doesn't like Sade, he was willing to go to Vegas with me to see the show. So we drove to Vegas on Saturday then drove back Sunday.

Sunday after making it back to LA, we met up with Schehimazade to see Colombiana....it was pretty good ...there's a couple scenes that are great.....I love a kick-ass girl! some folks will crititize about how "believable" some story elements are...but so what...it's just entertainment! After the movie, we went back to KB's sat in the hot tub at his new apartment for a while and although we were invited to another event that night, we passed out infront of the TV.

Monday KB's best friend and her girlfriend arrived from ATL for another visit, so KB and I met them at her mom's for BBQ and as we were about to leave there I returned a call from Prince Esquire who happen to be hanging out with his girlfriend's sister and brother-in-law that lived relatively close to where we were, so we went and visited with them for a while!

So now I'm at work....wishin I could have stayed in bed so i could still be sleeping and getting some much needed rest.  However as I said despite the fact that some people thing I have my own US Mint in my bedroom, this NEGRO is BROKE and my butt needs to be here at work to start recovery process for some of the expenses.....I'm so broke I could afford to buy some fresh beef jerky from this place on the way back from Vegas.  OMG, I had fun though!

That was my holiday weekend, I'd love to hear about yours!?!?!?!

Sincerely,
Pharoah
