After you Shazaam, also wish him safe travels, as heads to Miami, for “Fountain Art Fair.”

Everyone from outta town, especially from New York, who comes to DC always ask the same question, “Man, where do people hang out and chill. Y’know, drink, eat, chill, like we do here, in ‘the city’” For everyone who may be coming to the DC area (since all this inauguration stuff is going on) allow me to shed some light on where you might wanna grab a bite to eat, or here a lecture, or meet some awesome (and I do mean AWESOME) Washingtonians, have I got the place for you!

It’s called Busboys And Poets, the newest (though not so new) hotspot in the nation’s capitol. It’s pretty much the boom in boom shaka laka…and it was named after Langston Hughes!

Awesome piece by Pat Moberg!

And it feels…GLORIOUS!!! 

If you voted let me hear ya say, “Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

(Waves arms around.)

And the winner is… Cara, the awesome lady who wore an Obama t-shirt to the opening!!! When is the last time you saw a candidate’s face on a shirt? These are exciting times! GO OBAMA!

Honorable mentions

Anyway, here are some pics from the event! (Thanks Myisha.)

We know, it’s not an ascot…get over it folks.

Hard work.

Turntablist IV

The twins (and Myisha)

Mike and Guy…and Myisha. Again. Hey, it was her camera!

Whoa.

Rach

Oh, but of course…

So, needless to say, it was a BLAST! Just ask this lady…

If you missed this event…this could’ve been YOU! But hey, don’t be too hard on yourselves, the show is going to be up until November 2nd, (though they should prob extend it, but hey…) so you’ve got ample opportunity to see all this awesomeness.

AND keep checking back everyone, because

(Is this thing on? This thing. Yeah, is it on? On. It is? Oh okay.)

Yooooooo so we are a few days away from the MOST AMAZING ART SHOW EVER!! 80’s Babies by Griffin. That’s right, I said it. What you are all about to witness, is the combination of genius, insanity, judgment, beauty, security, confidence, laughter, and whole helluva lot of WORK (things always seem cooler when you say they involve insanity!)

Not only will we all be floored by Griffin’s work, but there is also that interactive part we mentioned last week (scroll down if you’re clueless.) Get ready for your close-ups, as I take Polaroid pics of EVERYONE!! That’s right, EVERYONE!! So don’t be the wack party-pooper who starts crying about not getting their photo taken. Really.  Again, one pic will be chosen to be turned into a portrait! And you can of course purchase ANYTHING, including a Polaroid (I’ll shoot extras.)

See yall there! Boom shakalaka!

Yes. That’s a Polaroid. One of the original transformers. One of the original OG’s, if you will. Anyway, the reason it’s up there looking all sexy at the top of the page, is because its an added bonus of GRIFFIN’S 80’s BABIES SHOW!!!

That’s right! My job, (Reynolds) is to take Polaroids of every single person who walks through those gallery doors! Every shot, will be hung on the wall, to create a final piece of all of us. AWESOME! But the really dope part, is that once all the pics are taken, and hung, Griffin and I will choose one, who will be announced on increase-decrease (you are here) a week after the show. The chosen Polaroid will be turned into a portrait, via Griffin!

So basically, you take a pic, and are added to the show. Instantly. And you might even be painted. I mean not you, but your pic. OwwwwWWWwwWWWWw!

Note: I can take extra Polaroids, available for purchase, so you can take a memento of this epic event home with you!
