I just check in to my hotel in Ft. Lauderdale. I can't believe that I'm about to see the Beastie Boys again tomorrow -what I week!!!

If that wasn't enough, I saw MMM perform last night at a smallish club in NYC -- I want to say there was ~250 ppl there. DJ JS-1 opened, and Rahzel performed after MMM's set. JS-1 was in total awe of MMM as were the 12 kids who just stood and stared at the man in action. The rest of the crowd was into it... even had a nice Bboy circle going for awhile. I wondered for a sec if MMM cared that the attention was turned away from him but he got on the mic and told everyone to show some love to the breakers. Very cool stuff.

He dropped a TON of BB material including (wait for it) 14th STREET BREAK!!!!!! Love that!!! Really fun night. Wish they would have had a mirror on the ceiling or a camera so I could have seen his hands better.

Here's the part where I link in some vids w/ poor sound(y)

Yes, very glad he got that cleared up, and I wish you guys had been there too.

I got to meet Mrs. MMM tonight - super nice!! I was saying someting about the breakers and she said they were some of the guys from the Rock Steady Crew... How cool is THAT?!? Wish I had known, I would tried harder to push my way up to see.
