LIFE IS DANQ

Last night I went to my first show since I moved to Vegas. KÀ is a show by Cirque du Soleil at the MGM Grand. Created and directed by Robert Lepage, the show and the theater cost $220 million to develop.

Even though I was pretty lost as far as the plot was concerned, The production and theatrics was AMZING. KÀ lacks a conventional stage with a permanent floor; instead, two giant moving platforms and five smaller lifts and platforms appear to float through a bottomless space. A narrow boardwalk separates the audience from a deep abyss where the stage floor would normally be. From the stage level of the boardwalk up to the high grid is 98 feet, and the pit drops 51 feet below, amounting to a total of some 15 stories from the highest ceiling grid to the lowest floor level. The opening width and depth of the performance area are each 120 feet. This enormous performance space is reconfigured with each scene change by the complex movements of the show’s lifts and platforms.

Overall the show was DANQ and would highly recommend seeing it while you are in Vegas.

     …..BREAKING IN SMOOTH NEWS…..
~For his new album, ‘American Ride’, country music singer Toby Keith wrote a song for his dear friend, the late smooth jazz bassist Wayman Tisdale. The video of that song, “Cryin’ For Me (Wayman’s Song),” made its debut on Country Music Television’s website yesterday, and also appeared on the TV channel beginning November 3rd. It features a guest appearance by smooth jazz saxophonist Dave Koz.
Tisdale and Keith, both Oklahomans, had been friends for a long time. On Tisdale’s final album, last year’s Rebound, the bassist recruited Keith to sing on a cover of Barry White’s “Never, Never Gonna Give Ya Up.” At Tisdale’s public memorial service in May, Keith says he wanted to perform “Cryin’ For Me (Wayman’s Song),” but admitted he was too emotional about the loss of his friend to complete the tune. Instead, he dedicated to Tisdale an acoustic version of Willie Nelson’s ‘Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground.’” (www.smoothjazznetwork.com)

Smooth News
(today from www.smoothjazz.com)
~(FYI: Smooth and urban jazz saxophonist Art Sherrod Jr grew up in Palestine, Texas surrounded by parents who made music a main part of the  household.)
“Art Sherrod Jr’s sophomore release, SEASONS, is a standout! This CD is filled with a dozen strong tracks of tasteful, mellow sax work and a host of major guest players. Names like U-Nam, Will Downing, Gerald Albright (actually playing bass on “Just Chillin’”), Chuck Loeb, and Marcus Johnson all contribute to a collection of tunes that just feels good to my ear. After the fantastic success of ALL 4 LOVE this one is destined to be the breakout album for this native Texan who now makes his home in the Baltimore/D.C. area. The songs are solid, the performances electric, the production values World-class. No question in my mind that Art Sherrod Jr will soon be sharing the upper reaches of the charts with some of his inspirations, like Gerald Albright, Kirk Whalum and Kim Waters. At the risk of sounding trite, Art Sherrod Jr’s SEASONS is a no-brainer. Get it!” ~SCOTT O’BRIEN

It’s right nearby.’ At press time, Schoenfeld was calling to confirm his 5 p.m. dinner reservation for two at the HomeTown Buffet.”

That’ll do it for today…Over and Out…

Let’s be real…at the end of the day we eat as a necessity.

I must admit I’m a fan of Hell’s Kitchen and Top Chef.  I love to see the drive and the creativity but are we really that critical about food? I’d like to add that I’m a good cook.  I was taught to cook and bake early for large amounts of people so it’s ehh to me.

Anyway, I’ve eaten at BBQ’s on 8th Street in Manhattan before they closed (haven’t been back since they reopened)and loved their dirt cheep mac & cheese and collard greens.  The big ass pina coladas help but to be honest their mac & cheese and collard greens were the BOMB!

I have also had a personal chef from jean george prepare an entire meal for me & my guests exclusively in my room at the Trump in Columbus Circle.

The food was amazing and the service was top notch. The desserts were woah (i don’t even eat sweets like that).

If you’ve ever seen Diddy’s assistant reality show where he asked for a cappacino or whatever at the hotel he was staying at and was surprised that it wasn’t there within seconds of him asking…i understood, cuz at Trump whatever we asked for was there within seconds and  a swift knock on the door and call on the phone.  I’m not exaggerating at all…30 seconds or less….no joke. I was spoiled.

As an example, my sis was out of newports and was going to go out to buy and we were told to call the concierge and ask them to go to the store…so she did.  30 seconds later, the cigarettes were at our door…true story….ask my sis.

But back to the food.

I’m not a foody. I’m really picky but at the end of the day if it’s good…it’s good.

So, am I wrong for saying that though I liked the attention to detail and the taste of the food from the personal chef at jean george…i could really go for some mac & cheese and collard greens from bbq’s right now.?.??…

Washington
Gilbert ist zurück!! Und zwar als Playmaker. Mal sehen ob Hibachi seinen Kurs halten wird oder nur so lange den Abzug kühl halten wird, bis seine Knie wieder bei 100% sind…

Golden State
Small Ball wird immer wahrscheinlicher. Nachdem Monta Ellis anfänglich noch erklärt hatte niemals mit Stephen Curry zusammenspielen zu wollen/ können, funktioniert der Backcourt mit den beiden 6′3 Guards wenigstens in der Offensive vorzüglich. Jetzt ist nur die Frage, wohin mit Anthony Morrow und seinen 20 Punkten?

Cleveland
Die Verhaftung aufgrund von Waffenbesitz und das unentschuldigte Fehlen vom Training von Delonte West bleiben das Hauptthema in Cleveland. Bislang sind keine negativen Effekte zu verspüren, Cleveland gewann seine beiden Spiele.

San Antonio
19 Rebounds (in 22min) für Dejuan Blair in seinem ersten “NBA-Spiel”. Der an 37. Stelle gedraftete Rookie wird einige GMs noch in Erklärungsnot bringen. Ebenso Pop. Denn SanAntonio ist ziemlich tief besetzt.

Portland
Apropos tief besetzt. Kein Team hat wohl 3 Teams so wie Portland. (Außer vielleicht LA) Selbst Andre Miller, immerhin “extra” aus Philadelphia geholt, wird aus Praktikabilitätsgründen die 2nd Unit führen. Der Westen wird hart.

Clippers
Kaman. Camby. Griffin. Jordan. Eine Menge Leute denen Diddy Lobs zuwerfen kann. Und wenn “Diddy2.0″ Eric Gordon weiterhin so gut spielt, dann könnte es ja ein La-La Matchup in der ersten Runde geben

Orlando
Looks SCARY Good! Mit Vince Carter anstelle von Hedo Turkoglu haben sie jetzt einen “richtigen” Crunch-Time Player. Obwohl sie ihre Unorthodoxe Line-Up vom letzten Jahr ein wenig aufgebrochen haben, muss man immernoch Dwight an die Linie bringen damits eng wird.

My co-defendant may not be calling out rappers but i’m sorry Heaven Hollywood is.. Mr Magic as we heard in our prior blog needs a burial fund because his family could not afford a burial for This great Pioneer of Hip Hop music that did more for Hip Hop then a GucciMayne  a Bow Wow or a P Diddy could ever do..  First off this should never have come to this, because if all these fuckin Millionaires that have gotten rich off of Mr Magic helping them get airplay,exposure,shows would have made sure Magic was eating then this would never be taking place.. How is it that (and i am in no way holding them responsible) but i am holding them accountable.. Jay-z, P Diddy,50 cent,Eminem and LL Cool J .. right now the 5 richest HipHOP artist/moguls/entroupenours in the game should have been came up out of their pockets and helped out in any way that they could for this man who helped out any hip hop artist anyway that he could. It’s the artist like Lord Jamal, like Grand Pupa,like Mc Shan artist that want to help that really don’t “got it” to be helping those are the ones that are standing up wanting to help.. Where is Diddy? where is Jigga? All you niggas walking around here with “10,000 dollars stuffed up in the denim” going to Sue’s Rendovous and Sin City spending on a bunch of exotic dancers then spend another 3grand for the pussy( you know who you are i got the pictures i seen ya).. You all strut around here talking about how your chick tear up the mall or how you got on rolexes that hasn’t eve came out yet in the United States but you can’t reach into your pocket pull out your platinum pen and write this man’s family a check? You get it back on tax writeoffs anyway you ungrateful son of a bitches. Where is soldier boy,Bow Wow n Gucci mayne artist that get mad when REALniggas say “they killed Hip HOp” or music like theirs  yeah ya’ll get mad when people say you ain’t hip hop but you don’t wanna cough up none of that doe for a man who made it possible for your funky ass to even make bread.. I am sending 1500.00 dollars to the fund from me and 4 of my peoples. I am far from a Millionaire 1500.00 is now drop in the bucket for me but it is for all you so called “ballers that spend 900.00 on 2 bottles of Liquor in the club when they cost 45.00 in the fuckin store. So i am callin all you bitch made ass rappers out. I am ashame and disappointed in our people. Where is Russell? Where is WBLS? ya’ll niggas kill me. but these stupid ass tapdancin mammy ass negroes are quick to give your money to some goldiggin ass trick and give her ass her own company.  Mr Magic deserves better and i’ll say it to any fuckin rapper,mogul and whoever else..  God giveth and God will taketh away. You will see..  I know i the next 48 hrs some Artist will get tired of feeling guilty and come and act like they were gonna give the whole time. How many days magic been dead?
