Went and saw a friends band, No Country, play last night at the Hotel Cafe. It was for sure a good time. Drank some beers, hung out with some people I don’t get to see very often and met Pat my new homeless buddy who just got out of prison. I asked Pat if I could take his picture for a dollar and he said you can take two pictures for two dollars so you can get both sides of my sign. Then he said I know where these are gonna go they’re gonna go on the internets. Sure enough Pat was right and one of the happiest guys I have ever met.

The only thing we are wondering is if multiple people are going in there and buying them or if this guy in the video below is just buying them all up. And we thought we were Kobe fans.

43 year old rapper Keith Elam (aka) Guru co-founder of Gangstarr died Monday night due to cancer complications. “According to [producer] Solar, Guru suffered from the malicious illness for over a year and after numerous special treatments under the supervision of medical specialists failed, the legendary MC succumbed to the disease.
