Vampire Weekend!!

"No Mom, I don't have to dress-up like a vampire for my staff trip".

I was fortunate and priviledged to be invited by Asif Moola & Momentum, to Vampire Weekend Live in Edmonton. Me and 6 staff members hundled up in the good 'ole mini van, and headed 6 hours west. The trip was awesome. It was a hot and sweaty drive up. But we made it.

We stayed at The Metterra Hotel on Whyte, right beside Julio's Bar & Grill.

@ Julio's Bar... we consumed alcohol and tequila before heading to the concert(Vampire Weekend) at The Edmonton Events Center.

Vampire Weekend was soo good live, it was definitely as good or better then the CD.

After the amazing show. We went to a bar called Black Dog... We danced. hahah

Montecore.

I recently(2 months ago) traded in Montecore, for a 2009 Black Hyundai Accent.

Montecore is now a name that will be remembered. That '93 Plymouth Acclaim had a heart of a champion and a roar of a White Tiger. Memories of chilling out in the backseat, hookah sessions, listening to gangsta rap, and of course picking up that drunk friend. My memories will always remain in my heart, and hopefully that memory that you have will be cherished.

Tuesdays With W.I.L.T. & Fotography Fridays. Collab.

I have been extremely busy with work, just getting caught up on spring happenings at work has left me zero time for blogging. Also, I just got back from my Edmonton staff trip! It was SICK! Saw Vampire Weekend Live! SO GOOD! I will post videos and pictures from the trip ASAP.


Keri Hilson is amazing.

Keri Hilson's debut album, "In A Perfect World.." is probably my favorite female album of 2009. She has alot of possible hits, and she has an amazing voice. Miss Kerrri Bay BBBee! YA! 

Download: "In A Perfect World.."

Fotography Friday is dedicated to the pure beauty of Ms. Keri Hilson. Enough said. Amen.

Young Artists For Haiti.

Group of very talented Canadian musicians get together to perform K'naan's "Wavin' Flag", to help raise money for Haiti. In my opinon, Canada destroyed America. Drake's verse is immaculate. So dope.

I got over my fear of heights and went cliff diving. Apparently, this is where they filmed the Forbidden Pool in Lord of the Rings The Two Towers. I like to tell people I did a 360 backflip.

Tuesdays With W.I.L.T.

I honestly could not say that a year ago I had the same music taste. I think its maturity? or just a need for change? ... I have no idea what it is. Soul music used to be playing in my dads car all the time, even at his work.. I honestly could not handle it, too church-ish for me. But now I can say that Soul, and R&B music is probably my two favorite genres right now. My good friend Lindsay said to me last week, "You listen to alot of R&B, Your HipHop music is even more R&B then HipHop." I honestly find it mind boggling, how much someone can change there "style" and "taste" in a short year.. So... back to what your here for!..

Anthony Hamilton, has been playing at work, home and in my car for the past two months! Very, very chill Soul Music. My Favorite Album of his is "Ain't Nobody Worryin'", released in 2005.

Download: Aint Nobody Worryin', here.

Never Thought I'd Say This.

Style in Streetwear has been moving soo fast! We are seeing cleanliness and simplicity in all things fresh and new, in apparel and footwear. Style and silhouettes are completely going in directions where we never thought possible, taking the silhouette from a mens dress shoe and putting it in something more streetwear-esque. Wingtips are hitting the footwear scene hard.

I have discovered a new sense of style and fashion from my friend JJ, knows what is what. Very ahead for his age. He always shows me what he likes from brands I would never even think about buying. Like Ransom for instance, Check out these Dune Boots by Ransom X Adidas, rip-stop on a mint green nylon... very clean. I like these alot, I wouldn't say I'd purchase them yet but!, I can now see the direction.
