come together

so last night was our benefit show for our fallen homie/artist andrew "krazy" vidal, thrown by KOT productions and the rings of fire family.

the turnout was awesome! almost everyone i invited personlly showed up, all the musicians rocked, even yours truly got a chance to rock the mic while my boy albert and his newly formed collaboration of ill ass artists took the limelight.

shit was ill son! shao on the cuts,beto on the electric drum set, victor on the strings, alex on the keys and yours truly (hope4) on the mic.
we kicked some live drum n bass and hip hop/trip hop. straight held it down yo!

everything was going great, music was off the chain, raffel tix were being sold, kats were painting and everyone was having a good time. nebs and i were just talking about how happy we were with the turnout and then all of a sudden some BS broke out!

apparently someone (no name dropping) poured beer on another persons painting. TOTALLY disrespected him and his artwork. not only that but he disrespected the whole show!
the homies decided to leave to avoid more drama which sucked because they were the main providers of music and mark from lotus tribe and i were gonna rock a jam session with alberts band again.

all i can say is karma's a bitch because everything fell apart for that dudes homie who was supposed to perform.
the dj took all his equipment and fade dogg was left with no one to play his cd.
i guess that what happens when your homies like to knock off. it ruins everything for you and everyone else.

but its all good cuz we raised over $1000 for krazy's son and everyone left pretty much a happy camper ;)

the person who knocked off apologized and owned up for his chilidish actions but it still doesn't make it right.
i squashed it cuz i see the kat on a daily basis but i will never forget what he did.

i mean, the artists weren't out there demanding respect but i think any artist who is willing to drop all their barriers and allow people to spectate and critisize them while they work DESERVES respect. end of story.
