The creative cool kids ruled the weekend and saved it from complete cricket action with the December edition of the First Friday Gallery walk and get down after party at Parks. I didn’t know what to expect because the last couple of months have been empty boots over that way, but I stopped through anyway essentially out of desperation for a decent kicking it report for the weekend. I’m so glad I did because I got every single bit of my life from every angle. I don’t even know where to start. I came in on the tail end of a modest burlesque show (I know it’s an oxymoron, but it’s true). Then the folks got to twerking, breakdancing and vibing – and then Corey Black – who I was shocked to see at the tables in the first place – had the nerve to play “Wipe Me Down.” It was so lit that I couldn’t do justice explaining. Folks were doing every kind of breakdown you could think of – even what looked to be a “Hip-Hop Abs” combination. One thing you can’t do to these millennials is put them in a box –because they will shock you every doggone time. They got it in to Boosie like they were from the heart of Louisiana. I thought that Byron (best known for his big smile and bedazzled jackets) was going to need a hip and shoulder replacement the way he was throwing down. I had a great time. I ran into Black Spade in a camouflage kimono (not kidding), Jacqueline Craig and her Teyana Taylor style post-baby bounce back, Brooklyn Kingsboro and plenty of others while I was there. Can’t wait to see what they have crackin’ for the New Year.
