40/40

Phillipe Chow opened in Hamptons today just in time for summer.  Ooooh, I wish I was there, however, I was in Brooklyn chillin at the Act Now Foundation's short film program on Love, Life, Race & Diversity. 

I watched a cute little film called "Afterschoole'd" by Joe Hernandez-Kolski; about a preppy guy, claiming to be a "hip-hop" connoisseur only to get busted and "schooled" by someone who knows that he's not "keeping it real."

On the hip-hop tip, there are a lot of events happening in New York next week.  Starting with Def Jam's 25^th Anniversary.  Hard to believe it was 25 years ago when Def Jam was born and I learned to do the wop to the Beastie Boys, "Paul Revere"

"Here's a little story I got to tell..."  Those were the days.  The event is set to happen at an undisclosed location and the list is...HEAVY.

Artists past & present will converge to celebrate Def Jam's 25^th Birthday!
