Saw this Youtube cartoon spoof on AD’s blog and had to share the hilarity. I had no idea these guys were such foodies!

Hope it gives you a good Friday laugh and some new ideas on how to prepare steak…:-D

Oh snap! I realized I forgot to tell you about Me’shell Ndegeocello’s show last month at Apache Cafe….

The 2-second summary? The show was cool, but not as cool as I had hoped.

cafe 290 atlanta
When we walked into Café 290, the crowd was lighter than I expected (in more ways than one), so we were able to get a good seat with no problem. three caballeros For a moment, I thought there was an opening act on stage, because I didn’t recognize the funky-cute white guy strumming away on his guitar or the teddy-bear-cute brother sitting on the far right of the stage, nor did I recognize the song that they were singing. But what I did recognize was some damned good music – a mix of deep, soulful sounds intertwined with highly inspirational lyrics. Once my eyes adjusted to the dark room, I also recognized that the guy seated with head bowed in the middle of the two strangers was Anthony David.

Thursday afternoon. One of my girlfriends is in town for training and I’m on the hook for figuring out what devilment we’re gonna get into for the evening. I just got word that 2 of my favorite local artists are performing tonight…but in two different places! Julie Dexter is set to go on at the Harlem Bar in Edgewood and Anthony David is taking the stage at Café 290 in Sandy Springs. Hmm…what a predicament (mental note: add this to the list of reasons why I need a clone). Since I’ve never seen Julie perform in an intimate setting, and since Harlem bar is only a stone’s throw from the crib (gas is high!), we decide to go there.

Happy Belated Valentine’s Day!

In the spirit of love and loving, I decided to share my ‘deep in the high’ Imeem playlist. The name was inspired by one of my favorite poems by e.e. cummings (i think i just like the fact that he always wrote in lower case…LOL). The phrase, ‘deep in the high that does nothing but fall’ is the most clever way to describe new love that I’ve ever heard.

Quote of the Week

"Often people try to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so they will be happier.... You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want."

~ Margaret Young
