Simply Beautiful

I can hear the Al Green song ringing in my ears...Simply beautiful.
That is what my weekend was.
The Zulu anniversary in Seattle Saturday at Vera project was dope. It had one of the best line ups I have seen in a long time. Valentines day was full of love: Love for Hip hop and 206 zulu, I recieved flowers from a fan and my fuzzy friends took me out for breakfast in the morning...Yaay!
Sunday I experienced the most amazing cypher at festival sundiata. I had a performance at Brother to brother at the seattle center house with Miz Floes and a bunch of male poets and musicians who spoke on the panel discussion. We did a cyper at the end with african drumming and Blacque Butterfly joined us...I could feel the energy surging through the circle and the good vibes coming from the audience....Simply Beautiful.
Afterwards we went to the Zulu Breakdancing competition at Emp. Wow! thank the universe for V.I.P status because the line was literally wrapped around the building.
My feet were hurting because I was trying to be cute at the sundiata gig wearing heels and I was standing in the front row at emp as the show was running on hip hop time. LOL!
Geez!
Anyways,
The show was awesome...I had to leave early but what I did see of the show made me proud!!!
Then Monday before Blacque Butterfly and I took a ride down I-5 back to the city of roses we ate breakfast with Gabriel Teodros and Lulu at silver fork. Miz foes said It was worth the wait as I spoke to her on the phone for 30 minutes before our food arrived, she was right!
My pancakes were fluffy, eggs like grandpa used to make and my hot chocolate was rich and creamy. We listened to Stevie wonder playing in the background and tender roni by bobby brown came on...LOL! we danced in our seats and enjoyed the blessing of great company.

Oh and I totally forgot that somewhere in the middle of all this Aaron walker loud cooked some amazing food, was an incredible host and built us a fire...Yaay!!!!

My weekend was simply Beautiful.
