Jean-Michel Basquiat Opening @ The Gagosian Gallery – 2/7/13

Jean-Michel Basquiat Opening was simply amazing! Featuring over fifty works from public and private collections. I was truly inspired again. I felt his presence and the love everyone had for him that night. Long Live King SAMO!

RIDING IN THE CITY POST HURRICANE SANDY

10.30.12 – I WENT BIKE RIDING WITH A  FRIEND TO GO HAVE A GLIMPSE OF HURRICANE SANDY’S AFTERMATH! I STARTED IN MY HOMETOWN QUEENS  WHERE WE SAW SOME TREES FALLEN OVER AND SOME SIGNS DOWN BUT NOT AS CRAZY AS OTHER PARTS OF NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY. WE WENT DOWN INTO THE SUBWAY TO HOPEFULLY CAPTURE SOME IMAGES OF A FLOODED SUBWAY STATION BUT THERE WAS NO WATER FLOOD. THEN WE MADE OUR WAY OVER THE QUEENS BOROUGH BRIDGE. WE WENT DOWN THE EAST SIDE  AND UP THE WEST SIDE OF MANHATTAN. IT WAS CRAZY TO SEE GIGANTIC TREES ON THE FLOOR AND THE ONLY SIGN OF GAS GOING DOWN, LITERALLY.  IT WAS A DARK AND GLOOMY DAY FOR MY FELLOW NEW YORKERS BUT NEW YORKER’S ARE TOUGH SO WE’LL GET THROUGH THIS! 

JUSTIFICATION!

Good times with GREAT friends! I enjoyed some drinks at the Gansevoort Park Hotel rooftop with some friends then went to grab some dinner at The Hurricane Club which has the most delicious coconut rice and then surprised a friend with concert tickets to a JUSTICE show @ the Hammerstein Ballroom. Chromeo opened up for justice, we couldn’t have asked for more. We finally went to a hidden rehearsal studio inside of the QUEENS World Fair where i saw a UFO fly by and a picture to prove it! Last but not least Crysto Martyr band performed to put the icing on the cake to a great day! Well i hope you enjoy the pictures and video!!!
