Ohh... pics




The night started out well. We hooked it up the bar, and confidence was at an all time high. With Karl running the reggae muzak, and Redolent, Rai and i working out the hip hop and funk, it seemed like a win win situation. Big up to all those who came early- tomoko and friends- but we ended up getting a crowd around 2 am. No probs with that, but we will get it even more crunk next month, and see if we cant tear the roof off like we planned. Big up to Rai for making it happen month after month.
