It has been a few weeks, but I finally got around to my Coachella Photo Essay. A few shots, that I still don’t really capture the weekend, but a post nonetheless. A hot weekend where NBA Basketball jerseys seemed to be the uniform. Enjoy.


Coachella Music And Arts Festival, Weekend 2 2012


Overhead view.


Alarm Clock…HOT!!!


The weekend boarding.


Good thing we rode on day one, before standing in long HOT lines.


AWOLNATION Frontman Aaron Bruno literally surfs the croud during a rousing rendition of their hit, “Sail.”


Yeah, that’s reading correctly…a whopping 107 Degrees…whew.


The amazing Gary Clark, Jr. performing “Things Are Changing,” instant zone-out song.


Feist during her powerful set, before Bon Iver.


SBTRKT Killing “Wildfire” with Vocals by Yukimi of Little Dragon and Drake.


Radiohead Destroying It!!!


The Beats By Dre tent, where we listened to bad Pitbulls songs, on great Dre Audio, and got AIR CONDITIONING!!!


The Do Lab, where they played LOUD Dub Step and sprayed you with waterhoses. Skipped that this year.


Everyone had the same idea, hide from sun, charge your phones.


Santigold after a late morning Sun nap.


Tupac Hologram rising to perform with Snoop.


Way to end…on Earth Day.


A beautiful sunrise, a bittersweet reminder of the weekend.


On the Road Home.

Blue Lines Blog – This Day In American History – R.I.P. Ken Hudson – First Black Ref in the National Basketball Association

I had the pleasure of meeting and befriending Ken Hudson twice during my professional career. It saddens me to lose a legend like this gentleman, and smile and remember knowing him, and how lucky I was to know him and speak with him. Thank you.

From USAToday Writer Roscoe Nance
Ken Hudson always thought he’d be a major league baseball player. But instead of becoming a slick-fielding second baseman, Hudson became a pioneering referee in the NBA as one of the league’s first two black game officials.
“I said then, ‘If this works out, a lot of people will get an opportunity,’ ” says Hudson, 63, who officiated in the NBA from 1968-72. “History has proved me right. That’s what makes me happy.”

(Intro)
Greetings, earthlings
We have now taken over your radioooo…..

(B-Real)

Goin’ straight through the hole
You ain’t got no game
I’m breakin’ ya out the frame
Coming through like a train
Looking to take over the world is my goal
With my unstoppable crew takin’ all control
You can’t get none of this, we’re runnin’ this
Well taker, earth shaker, 3 point gunnin’ this
Get out the lane, I’m comin’ through
And if you don’t wanna move then i’m comin’ right through you

(Coolio)

It’s like inch by inch and step by step
I’m closing in on your position and destruction is my mission
Though eight is not enough, your whole squad better duck
It’s like switch when I bust
Now you’re whole crew is dust
Comin’ through my area, I’ma have to bury ya
The real scream team on your scream scene
It’s like showdown on the range

Go tell me who wanna tangle with the
ghetto witch-doctor neighborhood superhero?

Chorus:

Blue Lines Blog – Love At First Sight – Blue Lines Chapter 12: Chance – Excerpt

06 Tuesday Dec 2011

Blue Hurt, Blue Lines, Blue Lines Blog, Blue Lines Chapter 12: Chance, Bridgeport, Buckhead, Bulls, California, Chance, Chapter 12, Chapter 12: Chance, Charlotte Hornets, Chicago Bulls, Christmas, Connecticut, excerpt, fiction, Gerald, Holiday, Kenneth A Suffern Jr, Kenneth Suffern Jr, Key Yemaya Walker, Keypsiia Walker, Keypsiia Yemaya Walker, Lenox Mall, Love, Main Street, Michael Jordan, Mitch Richmond, MW, N.B.A., National Basketball Association, NBA, North Carolina, Photography, Prose, Romance, Sacramento, Sacramento Kings, Scottie Pippen, Tar Heels, Trumbull Mall, UNC, UNC Chapel Hill, University Of Bridgeport, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Westfield Trumbull

This Blue Lines excerpt is from Chapter 12: Chance. The scene takes place as our protagonist Key Yemaya Walker happens upon the antagonist Blue Hurt while he writes on a bus headed to the local mall. Though Blue Lines takes place in Chapel Hill at the University of North Carolina, the real life imagery starts with her chance meeting him on the bus, which was the public transit I and friends would take from the University of Bridgeport at the Main Street stop by our dorm Bodine Hall, to Trumbull Mall, now Westfield Trumbull. The mall used in the writing process was a amalgam of Trumbull Mall in Connecticut, and Lenox Mall in Atlanta, Georgia, or Buckhead rather.
As I always state, Blue Lines, is a piece of fiction that evolved from real events, places, and people, therefore elements of this selection, as well as the entire work contain real experiences, and events of the time period in which my manuscript takes place. I’ll be honest, looking over this selection, I may not leave it up, though the work is copywritten. Please enjoy, this early Christmas present.
Blue Lines Chapter 12: Chance

    We got together, like, the first week of school and through this I have actually become accustomed to being alone. If he’s not at practice, he’s with his boys and the few times I see him, it’s always conversation about basketball or trying to get ass.”
    “And the lack thereof doesn’t do anything for you two.”
    “No,” she pursed her lips realizing that she had answered his latent question, “plus all the rumors,” she continued. “I confronted him and I know that he’s lying to me but I don’t care.”
    “It seems like you keep mentioning that he isn’t around. Do you think that it would have been different if he was there and spent more time with you?”
