…wherein I give you an insider perspective into the observations of the people laboring skillfully to make sure you have a fun night on the town.

Shrewd cost/benefit analysis.

Happens all the time.

a.k.a. the CTRL-ALT-DEL move.

File under “aspirational”, “#firstworldproblems“, “integrity” and “perspective”.

Gulf of understanding ever widening. See next tweet.

Planned Obsolescence: The Extinction Agenda.

Focused marketing campaign + high nicotine content = addicted Negroes. Still racist though.

Actually, you can take a trip in the wayback machine and relive the last time Dredd & Stylus hit the decks as a team. It was quite an evening.

I’m pretty psyched to be a guest at Close 2 The Edge again. Real hip-hop all night. Not the same old school hip-hop starter kit. This is for the heads.

The feedback on the mic adds to the authenticity of the house party vibe.

I meant to write a blog about this night, it was a good one. I still might. In the meantime download these.
