You know what’s funny, making jokes about it snowing in April. Really, that does not get on people’s nerves when it’s snowing…in…April.
All the same, it’s likely to be spring at some point, so let’s just move on.
Coming up tonight at Bubba’s is Soul for Change, a showcase of local hip-hop acts to benefit Camp Homeward Bound, a summer camp program for kids who live a good portion of their lives in shelters. Though the camp and campers are mostly New York-based, all the music promises to be local. Syn the Shaman, Bread & Altruistic (as The BLOB), Say Love, Drey Senior and Mike Clouds. Kristina Kentigian, the organizer of the event, will be performing with the Dream Mosaic Band.
You may know Kentigian as K-Soul, formerly of Ill Natural, a group that opened for people like Digable Planets, Ghostface, and Snoop Dogg. Kentigian is now working on a solo effort with Milled Pavement Records.
Tonight’s show starts at 9 p.m at the Sulky Lounge on Portland Street. Tickets are $6 at the door.
Also, it seems I have much to learn about the world of sharing things online. Here’s hoping creepy janitors are not taking my picture home with them after work.
While it's an important message, why do these PSA's always have to be just a little freaky?
Remember kids, stranger danger has many forms...including the Internets.
Make sure to check out the other one too. It's entitled, "Everyone Knows Your Name."
Justin is a former newspaper intern and has the scar tissue to prove
it. Justin has been a staff writer for the Portland Press Herald/Maine
Sunday Telegram since 2003, and in 2004 began writing a weekly column in the
Monday Magazine.
If he had to pick a label, the column would fall under "youth culture,"
covering everything from high school dance etiquette, dealing with college
debt, the resurgence of Roller Derby and Portland's one-of-a-kind music
scene. This of course has not stopped him from answering letters to Santa
Claus or writing about his experience riding shotgun in a drift car.
Justin is an export from the Midwest. He is a graduate of the University of
Missouri and is originally from Minnesota. He enjoys bacon, cheap beer,
redheads, Burt Reynolds jokes and wondering what the soundtrack to his life
would sound like.
When he grows up he wants to be an international art thief. Or Captain
America.
Until then he'll be bringing you dispatches about "the young people" and
what they do.
