It was good seeing you perform last night. It's been a couple months since I'd last seen you live. Don't trip on the crowd the ones that were meant to hear it got it. There were definately some inspired souls there last night. I appreciate you rocking the shirt as well. Take it easy.
thanks for hitting up the page. the whole Irrelevant thing has to deal with the fact that i keep getting passes over but the Night Was Blu track is on my album Return Of The Feel Good. It'll be out this month. i just sent check for the cover so i'll try to get duplication started next week.
On the complete opposite side of being Irrelevant, me and the avengers are hitting up LA for a show on the 28th. we need to sell 40 tickets. $22 a piece if you want to go, support, know people who'd want to go. it's so we can open for Rakim and Rhymefest. it'd be nice if you bought a ticket
