My girl put me on to this awesome website called kickstarter.com. It’s a funding platform for creative projects – once a goal is decided on, the project establishes a time period in which it will try to raise necessary funds. If you like what you see you can donate money to help with the project and in return will receive benefits, products, or experiences, depending on the amount donated. The catch is ‘no money unless the goal is reached’. If the goal isn’t reached by the deadline the money goes back to the investors. This is supposed to motivate the investors and the artists to achieve the desired result. Projects range and include films, fashion, music, illustrations, writing etc. The point is to help out those you believe in and so become part of the process. So if you want to contribute or have an amazing project that is in need of more funds, this is your chance.

I know I’ve been mentioning Brooklyn a lot lately….I don’t know what it is but I’m just in that sort of mood, and I’m also thinking of moving there. With this in mind, I’d like to recommend a club called ‘Deity‘.
This spot used to be a synagogue and was turned into a classy all-in-one party house. What makes it better than the typical Manhattan club is that it’s less pretentious and not as stuffy. Upstairs they offer dinner and a unique selection of cocktails, then hit the downstairs where there’s non-stop dancing going on, dope music (DJ dummy was there last time), and an overall friendly, loose, and outgoing atmosphere.
It’s located on 368 Atlantic Avenue.

My city turned into an umbrella graveyard last night..
Unrelenting winds and rain didn’t stop us from finally leaving the usual ‘hood..
Hopping from taxi to taxi, we pretty much made a stop in every major section..
From ‘the underground’ on 107th to the ‘underbar’ on 17th (dont’ go)… to another bar, another roast..
It all melts together when you spend it with the ladies…simply fun fun fun!!!

"And to feel that the light is a rabbit-light,
In which everything is meant for you
And nothing need be explained;
Then there is nothing to think of. It comes of itself;
And east rushes west and west rushes down,
No matter. The grass is full"
