So farewell for now CL. I enjoyed it so much!
The view outside of the Creative Loafing offices. ***
After making my departure, I headed off to the Y Square Management offices in uptown Charlotte. But not before stopping by Fuel Pizza for lunch, where one of the workers generously served me my slice on the house.
"My memory's shot. So if I remember you, that means you come here often and you've spent enough money here." --Fuel staffer
Such nice people.
On with it... work was great (two thumbs up). But my night is when things really popped off. Me and my roadie & awesome friend, Von, headed out to Amos' Southend to see Mos Def live in concert. Mos Def! Did you hear me-- Mos Def! (Makes me think of my HS friend April. She was his self-proclaimed wife).
Needless to say, the show was bananas. It opened with performances by Medina Green and Jay Electronica. Check out the pics (More coming soon).
"I promise you. I'll rip any rapper who tries to battle me. Except Mos. Not Mos." --Jay Electronica ***
"JAY! JAY! You can't take me!" --random audience member *** 
Jay Electronica RIPPIN' random audience member. All in fun... but seriously though-- he murdered that freestyle.*** 
Von & me ***
Now unfortunately Mos Def took SO LONG to appear that my phone died in the process. ::sighs:: When Von uploads his pictures I will post ASAP. However, here's a little memento. We went groupie status after the show. Von a little more fanatical than I... but nevertheless, I was so eager to meet the lyrical mastermind (that also hails from the big bad BK). ***
You have to check out this man live. Next time he's in Charlotte I'm blasting the 411 to everybody!
More later,
Charlotte's Girl
