8 Mile
First off I want to apologize for not putting this blog up sooner. I just want to emphasize that it was one hell of a night! So, onwards...
Take the scene from the movie 8 mile when Eminem (B-Rabbit) crushes his opponent in the last freestyle battle of the movie and the crowd is going mayhem. And, that's what the scenery looked like at last nights' Shine Party featuring Damjn & Ivy Leegue held over at the notorious 111 Minna Gallery in downtown SF hosted by none other, Boogie Events Co. The turnout was immense and the spectacle was incredible! The performance showcased by not only Damjn, but also the Ivy Leegue demonstrated that none of these dudes are going anywhere for awhile. Let me provide you with a little bit of a visual if you missed out on the opportunity to enjoy a fun and eventful evening with all of us who were in attendance. The gallery was at max capacity once again and the crowd spilled out on the sidewalk and the streets during numerous occasions; Damjn & the Ivy Leegue both took front and center stage (yes, there was a stage) at approximately 12:30 am just after Erk the Jerk and the Renegades (B-boy crew) ignited the crowd. Ivy Leegue (Outbreak & Skuba) kicked off their first track 'My Swagger is On' -- which queued the runway models to display Damjn's hot and trendy streetwear pieces -- which was the case throughout their entire performance. If you scanned and observed the crowd, it was evident that the people were embracing the harsh and lyrical bangin', head-bobbin' beats and tracks of the Ivy Leegue. Not to mention the garments that the models were rockin'. Further, to add more excitement to the already hyped up crowd, free shirts were thrown out. Lastly, there were occasions where it felt like the paparazzi's were in the building from all of the camera lights going off constantly.
To end the night, a few of us ended up back over at Leah's to finalize the night.
All in all, it was another memorable and exciting night for all of us. Great job Boogie Events Co., Ivy Leegue and Damjn! And, of course a huge 'THANK YOU' to all the B&F supporters that came through and represented with their attire and stickers! It truly means a lot to us! Right on for Cultured Roots representin' as well. Oh, and to the guy (sorry I forgot your name) that tapped me on the shoulder and asked if I was Jon/Jonathan from B&F and who mentioned he's an avid reader of my blog. 'Thank you' for reading and being interested!

Quick story: This dude was honored (guy in the foreground with B&F sticker). So, this gentlemen approached Sharon and Leah because he admired the B&F hat and gear that they were rockin' so he asked if he could have one of their belts in exchange for his. And, out of generosity Sharon gave him her belt. So, guy that now has Sharon's B&F belt...I hope you're a proud and satisfied man!
JMoe and Outbreak of the Ivy Leegue
Street teamster Bear and the partners
That's right...Byters get dumped into the SF BAY! I'm sure some of you who watched 'America's Best Dance Crew' on MTV last season remember this shirt represented by 'Supreme Soul.'
Our B&F family members always down to support
The after party sometime after 3am
Everyone lining up to see the aftershow...see next pic
Don't be a Bastard!...we still love you, Leah
Will looking on as Sheryl comforts the begging 'I'll never drink again,' Leah
