Like Sands Thru The Hour Glass

Yep another year is passing right by for me. Monday January 16th - in the tradition of such Houston greats as Hakeem Olajuwon, Nolan Ryan and Earl Campbell - I'll be turning 34 years old. The Houston celebration is pretty much unofficial, we're all just going to gather Saturday night at the Museum of Fine Arts for the latest edition of Beats of Basquiat. Flyer and information below, but just know that these events at the MFAH have been the best things I've been to in Houston in the past 4 years. The crowds are hip, clean, excited, plentiful, diverse and well the whole atmosphere is just perfect. The past two events have featured DJ Spooky and Peanut Butter Wolf, Saturday they are bringing Shepherd Fairey and I Am the World Trade Center. I'll give more info with the flyer post below. Keep reading.

But Monday night, January 16th, it's going down. Oxy Cottontail, Ozone Magazine and Retail Mafia Present another one of them Screw York City's. Houston invades the big town by the rivers once again.



My peoples will most definitely be in the house. DJ Chill, who does Damage Control with me, Rapid Ric the Mixtape Mechanic of the Whut it Dew Family and Mr. Rogers of the Boss Hogg Outlawz (also Slim Thug's DJ) will all be spinning throughout the night from 10 p.m. - 4 a.m. Free Red Stripes from 10 p.m. - 11:30 p.m. I'm calling out to all my NYC peoples and all my Texas people who wil be in NYC Monday night to come out. It will be off the chain.

And it'll be even more off the chain cuz it's not just a party for me. On this day, January 16th, millions of people around the world will be celebrating they birfdays too. But on this particular night we're gonna celebrates the births of:


Jules of BiJules with that thowed jewry.

and


Willegible Caps (left) of Caps N Jones. (Who incidentally will be playing Proletariat in Houston Feb. 16th for a special edition of Rock Box).

And lets not forget that today we celebrate the birth of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a day late.

Anyway it's gonna be some shit. $5 suggested donation at the door to help pay for the four plane tickets, etc. Please don't front. Free beers for an hour and a half, and non stop jams. You never know if a special guest might fall through to rock the mic. We don't either.

O.K. So NYC I'll see you Monday. Houston, here's the real deal on Saturday. Please come out. How often do you get to drink at a museum?
