patience and patrice

Finally the day has come.
Tasha and I officially got approved for the ultimate apartment. I spent the whole weekend moving in and was blessed with good old friends and great new friends helping me pack, load, and un-pack. It's very exciting, and it took me so long to get to this point (i started looking for the perfect joint before I left for Singapore in May), that I truly feel I've gained a sh*tload of patience. What's more, I've been packed up for some time now, living on a bare minimum, and as a result my photography has suffered as memory cards and rolls of film are packed away awaiting their new home. This blog feels so boring without some photos.

In other news, saw Patrice Rushen last night, playing the keys alongside Christian McBride at Yoshi's. It was an incredible show/set, the entire performance was improvised with a DJ on percussion (sans-drummer). At one point they produced a jazz interpretation of So Fresh, So Clean by Outkast, followed by Michael Jackson and everything in between. The night was enjoyed with the best cast and crew to match the music. Good friends, good music, good food - ya can't ask for much more.
