Touch you in the mind like virgins on all fours

Flavor to the very last morsel
I don't force [it], shT comes natural
-Akrobatik

I had the extreme pleasure the last two nights of being thoroughly entertained and immersed in a sea of good music and it was so intoxicating that the feeling has me eerily fiending for more in a hazy daze in the middle of the night. The Roots came to town to do a show Monday night featuring Talib Kweli as a guest. Man....words cannot convey how good that show truly was. Kweli straight smashed shT. And he brought local hero Akrobatik on stage to an huge response and he killed it. The legendary Roots Crew lived up to their name as they always do. But this time was on some next shT. I remember one outdoor they did, but I don't recall being this open afterwards. It literally has left me almost speechless.

Yes, almost. Gotta wake up early again in the morning to hold it down for the shorties under my watch this week. They are learning all about entrepreneurship and what it take to take their interest from idea to concept to plan to business. With two days under our belt, now we get to do some field trips and have them hear from other folks. Some of them are further along than others, but they are a good group and have been fairly attentive and focused so far. But I'm noticing they have really taken quite a liking to the GarageBand software app. So I'm thinking I may have to take that signal and try and incorporate that into some kind of program during the school year.
