orion of peligrosa all stars @ apt, july 10 2009

day 3 of my new york city visit had me following the peligrosa boys around manhattan. our trusty guide, mr. grenade, led us to a sweet ass spot in the lower east side called welcome to the johnsons. we kicked it during happy hour for $1.75 PBR's! a great deal in a greatly expensive city. i took advantage of the locale to take some promo shots of hobo d, orión & manolo black.
after lotsa drinkin' & actin' like drunken sailors on dock leave, we hi-tailed it to the meat packin' district for orión's gig @ the a p t. dj's nguzunguzu, chief boima, geko jones & uproot andy rock'd the house for bomba estereo's after party. our homie orión definitely set it off! the nyc kids got down to some of that tejas style.

peligrosa all stars arrive in nyc july 7th, 2009

the 1st day/night in new york city was full of mad debauchary!
met up w/hobo d @ la guardia, 1 & 1/2 hours late thanks to some crazy downpour in houston. we took a bus to the closest train station, then arrived in long island city to meet manolo black & my new homeboy grenade! left our gear @ g's & he took off back to work. manolo b/hobo d/me went off to brooklyn to meet up w/orión for some dominican grub. we drank a couple of beers, the boys ate some greasy/meaty goodness, i had some greasy/veggie goodness. oh, so tasty!
we walked around throwin' up some peligrosa fliers & checkin' out some trendy/hipster hoods in brooklyn. we met up w/grenade @ k&m bar for a couple of beers, then we all roll'd to a rooftop party for a bbq/meet & greet w/some LAMC folk. we had a blast meetin' some really cool folks & enjoyin' the great view from the roof.
we went back to k&m & got more booze in us. orión & hobo d hook'd up their lappys to the sound system & played some good tunes. we got pretty shellack'd... 'nuff said.

hawt diggity! this was an EPIC night!
started out @ rabbit's on e. 6th shootin' the filmin' of sonido boombox's intro [can't show this foto set 'til the video's debut], then book'd it majorly to mohawk so i could "sneak" in w/orión & his gear, drank some brews, hung out w/the honeys from avant salon, got some shots of the openin' acts [richardhenry/orión, ms. prissy, dubb sicks & dmg$], then 2 live crew got on stage & got the big/small booty h0@s to shake it on the dance floor!

still had a lil' bit of time to check out the trouble & bass crew @ booty bar. DANG! those kids seriously bring the noize. i really wanna catch an entire set by these cats!
after hours was a must for so many great shows on the 7th/red river district. music gym did not disappoint! it was a total sweaty mess w/king louie, orión & anna love on the 1's & 2's. seems like everyone who came out to mohawk/plush/booty decided to prolong the night @ the gym.
wherever mj went, he must've been lookin' up/down on tons of kids dancin' the night away! such bittersweet night...
@ around 3:30am i somehow ;) managed to sober up enough to realize that it was time to ride home, sleep 4 hours & get to work...
just another thursday night?
