HAPPY 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE HIRO BALLROOM BENEFIT SHOW!!!

2 years, since I saw the best show of my life, had the most unreal time. Met up with some great friends, had a blast...and it changed my life. Ill never forget that night.

[Pootytang]

Ill never forget that night.

Are you sure about that? Don't you mean that you will never remember that night? Or was that another night?

[KENNY GUIDO]

Heard a commercial on the radio for the event a while ago.

[paulb]

nah, that was 2 nights after the Hiro show... twas, Hiro, then i saw Massive Attack the next night, then the night after that was the big meet up with Steveonpoint and the whole gang at the bar...rhymin in the streets...

[Documad]

I still regret that I didn't go to Massive Attack. I listen them whenever I'm writing a brief and I ALWAYS think of how I missed that show!

I had been looking for things to do in NYC in between the Hiro show and the Hip Hop Honors. I got tickets to the opera and to Grey Gardens and some film festival stuff. I knew about the Massive Attack show but I decided not to go because I had so much planned. I hope to god I saw Madame Butterfly that night instead of Grey Gardens. I can't remember. I met up with a friend for her birthday as well.

Anyhow, that week was one of the best weeks ever. I can't believe how much I packed into that trip.

[jennyb]

Are you sure about that? Don't you mean that you will never remember that night? Or was that another night?

pffffhahahahahah


and yeah, you should have gone to Massive Attack doc - twas awesomeness

I sure wish I could go this year, damn.

[paulb]
