Big Easy or Bust

yes, indeed, the time has come for yet another glorious return to the bayou for the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.

sick lineup this year, both in terms of the music and the clientele. jack johnson, widespread, and dave matthews all playing the fairgrounds along with a host of down home regulars that make the fest the beauty that it is.

if you happen to be down that way, come check us out. we set up shop with the bojon flag each day in front of the Acura stage. our camp will look something like this..

Base Camp

and we will look something like this...

CubeLess

and be on the look out for these cats, who will be loose on the grounds helping mookie dulles prepare for marital bliss...

A Good Day to Twist and Shout

ah yes, 420 comes around but once a year; and so, sing along with the Toyes [AUDIO]:

    I smoke two joints in the morning, I smoke two joints at night
    I smoke two joints in the afternoon, it makes me feel alright
    I smoke two joints in time of peace, and two in time of war
    I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints, and then I smoke two more

    Oh, my daddy he once told me, "Son, you be hard working man"
    My mama she once told me, "Son, you do the best you can"
    But then one day I met a man who came to me and said
    "Hard work good and hard work fine, but first take care of head"

    So now,
    I smoke two joints when I get up, in the car I smoke two joints
    I smoke two joints when I play video game
    And at every ten thousand points
    (I smoke two joints)
    I smoke two joints in time of peace, and two in time of war
    I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints, and then I smoke two more

    Oh, my daddy he once told me, "Son, you be hard working man"
    My mama she once told me, "Son, you do the best you can"
    But then one day I met a man who came to me and said
    "Hard work good and hard work fine, but first take care of head"

    I smoke two joints in the morning, I smoke two joints at night
    I smoke two joints in the afternoon, it makes me feel alright
    I smoke two joints in time of peace, and two in time of war
    I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints, and then I smoke two more

    SMOKE TWO JOINTS
    That's what I do
    SMOKE TWO JOINTS
    Come and smoke two joints with me in the morning
    SMOKE TWO JOINTS
    Come and smoke two joints with me in the afternoon, yeah
    SMOKE TWO JOINTS
    Hey, would you rather smoke two joints or would you rather do your homework?
    SMOKE TWO JOINTS
    I knew you were going to say that!
    SMOKE TWO JOINTS
    SMOKE TWO JOINTS
    That's what I do!
    SMOKE TWO JOINTS

The Tribeca Film Fest Beckons

a couple of Bojon heads are behind two films showing at the tribeca film festival in NYC at the end of april.

first off is nicholas beermonger who co-produced "THE F WORD," a feature-length film showing at the fest. st. nick wrote in, saying:

    I am extremely excited to announce the World Premiere of "THE F WORD" at the Tribeca Film Festival!

    “The F Word,” director Jed Weintrob’s second feature film, is a fiction/documentary hybrid about Joe Pace, a radio talk show host whose program, “The F Word,” is being shut down by the F.C.C. after racking up over $1 million in unpaid indecency fines.  On his last day on the air, which coincides with the last day of the Republican National Convention, Joe sets off to broadcast his own one-man march through Manhattan.

    The F Word


    Combining fictional scenes set among actual protests with documentary footage of people Joe meets along the way, Weintrob weaves together a seamless narrative.  It’s often impossible to tell the difference between fiction and reality.

    The F Word is a true, guerilla-style indie (non-profit, $6,000 budget: blood, sweat and tears), offering an innovative political portrait of 21st century New York City and the current threat to free speech in America.

    The film will screen THREE TIMES during the festival and there will be a Q&A with the director, producers and cast after each screening:

    - Tuesday, April 26th at 9:00pm at the Pace Schimmel Center
    - Thursday, April 28th at 3:15pm at the Regal Battery Park Screen #1
    - Saturday, April 30th at 1:30pm at the Regal Battery Park Screen #7

    Tickets are now on sale and can be purchased online.

second up is brother roberto, whose film "Alchemy" is also showing at the fest. wrote in roberto:

    It is my pleasure to invite you to the world premiere of Black Sand Pictures' second feature film, "Alchemy", at the 2005 TriBeCa Film Festival on Monday April 25. The screening begins at 7pm sharp and will be followed by a party at the Mocca Lounge (78-82 Reade St.) hosted by Effen Vodka.

    Alchemy


    Tickets to the screening can be bought online at the Tribeca Film Festival website. There are two other screenings later in the week but I encourage you to come celebrate with us on premiere night.

word up, my brothers! nice to have such talent in the family...

Samantha's The New Liza

Sam

visions of zuba at the live soup brewery danced through my head as conrad and i hit the independent this past weekend to catch samantha stollenwerck and her band the ritual.

sam throws down a groovy blend of funky jamband pop that she herself describes as "Cali Soul."

here's a little footage from the evening:

always a treat to catch an emerging artist who is chalked full of youthful exuberance. sam's got a ton of style and charisma and is just starting to stir up a lot of local media attention.

keep an ear out for this one. her sound's as sweet as tulepo honey...
