NEXT WEEKEND - OCEAN'S LA XMAS GALA

This WILL BE the formal event of the year 2008...it always is.  And it gets bigger and better every year.  So get your suit and your date game up fellas, and ladies get your classy gowns and dresses and complement it with sum fly heels and get your ass on out to this event.  Pre-Sale tix and event details are available here, and you should do that because last year we sold out.  I should have some on me from this weekend until next Saturday...so if you need them, holla fast folks.

Proceeds go to CLIMB Inc to fund various programs to for inner city youth.  These programs include basketball camps, mentorship programs, a performing arts program and more upcoming programs.  CLIMB is a non-profit organization created by Ken Billups III.  My company sponsors this event every year, so support me, Mr. Billups and the youth.  21+

THE BLOOD THEY SHED - LOCAL SPOTLIGHT

This won't be the local spotlight in the normal sense of me having a small interview to turn into a post...but this is more of a post paying ode to a great individual talent right out of Los Angeles.  Aaron White I've know probably since 1995 or 1996 just from various intermingling social circles.  I saw him at talent shows, dances, SAT Prep courses, etc...and over time we saw each other at various things from house warmings, bday parties, community outreach events, etc...I know he had been heavy in the arts and had a show that traveled to various parts of the US.  The show actually started right in my backyard: LEIMERT PARK.  And I missed these shows...and I still kick myself in the @$$ for it.  Well the show garnered much critical acclaim, rave reviews and more.  So when I came across this youtube clip at Mr. Billups' spot...I had to repost here.  Some of the Eazee Street audience should recognize this talented individual.  If you want more info or would like to contact Aaron click here.

On that Community Tip...Voter Registration Fraud

While we're on the subject of young people making a difference in the community...I spotted 2 of colleagues of mine being interviewd on KTLA in regards to voter registration, the big campaign, and voter registration fraud? Crazy times...but check out my boys Mario Singleton & Ken Billups (who's event I missed yesterday and I didn't get a chance to post, forgive me Mr. Billups). I owe you a Local Spotlight sir. I've been busy but your hard work doesn't go unnoticed here.
