a pair of tributes
o boy has it been a while or what?
i made a pilgrimage to the homeland (new jersey) to surprise my mother for her birthday and the stay was simply lovely. it was a brief visit and it was spent mostly in a collection of pools while surrounded by my sisters or other monroe folk.
upon my return to san francisco, i was starting to feel a bit under the weather with only a few days remaining before some monroe folk came to see me for a week. around the time that i started to feel at my worst, i was also hosting for the Neighborhood Empowerment Network with my Team at a Craigslist Foundation function.
behold, the power of painkillers.
later that day i had picked up my friends and started a delightful week long exploration throughout the city. it was great to the see them and i'm glad they had a wonderful time, but i just wish i was not going through a crohn's disease inflammation because i was quite a mess.
i've been in bed pretty much throughout the past month resting to ensure a speedy recovery, but in the meantime two wonderful friends of mine made me a delightful video that brought a tear to my eye.
now that i am beginning to feel better, i decided to make them a thank you video for all to enjoy. i am quite in love with those two ladies, and so i had to make a film that i could love almost as equally.
what came out was a video that makes me think of everyone important to me. mission accomplished.
my first film - "la vie en san francisco"
enjoy

a second coming!
el guincho came back to san francisco and he was soooo good! eric joined me and i warned him that i would be obnoxious and crazed and dancey. he was ok with it.
needless to say pablo once again blew me away.
at one point in the set he was like, "this is my second time in san francisco. did anyone see me at the..."
"the independent!" i shouted.
"yes yes! when was that?" he said with a chuckle because i probably looked so dumbfounded that he heard me.
"october 2008ish and your english has gotten sooo much better!" at this point i realized that i either sounded like a stalker or culturally rude.
until he said, "right! nice!"
all was good in the world.
and the show was incredible.
this is where i stood.
i was too busy dancing to film properly. ill leave it up to these other kids.
enjoy!
adore y la lealtad
oh and here's the encore when everyone got really into it. and yes, you can see me in this one.
