Village Slum/Mel D. Cole

everything has been boring to me as of late

31 March 2009, 18.42 | Posted in mel d cole | 66 comments »

From art, to music, to fashion…it all has been BLAH since the start of 2009.
And don’t get me started on the party scene in NYC. This year has been the year of lame parties and the same oh same oh.

I have not shot a party since I have been back from Japan minus the Dante’s Fried Chicken joint which I really didn’t shoot. I was more about the performances than anything.

Where the fuck are the good shows?!!!

It’s time for things to become more exciting. This economy should not fuck everything up. People need to start being more creative with money and find ways to still have fun!

I am telling you now, my next event/party/jumpie will be one of the most memorable events EVER!

I will be back on the streets starting tonight, so say what up!

The Cheki Project-Coming Soon!

The Cheki Project-Coming Soon!

So, I decided to do a lil project soon with all of the instant film I have been taking at shows and what not.
I think I am going to scan shit this week.

Plus I am scanning in some concert stuff from a while back before I knew I wanted to be a shooter.
( Not sure if I told you that or not??)

I am hungry as fuck, I am thinking either I go for a 2-3$ fish sandwich at Mickey D’s or just eat at The Roots show. But that shit is not until 12 and It’s going to take me about a hour to get there :(

Oh yeah I did some more film stuff over the weekend.

Fun With Film

Fun With Film

In other news, I have been laying very on the low downs. After Japan I had to catch up on some sleep plus NYC was on a recovery week. I coulda went to the Ed Banger x MOD jumpie tonight but I felt like staying in and doing some work and watch the Wacknest which was pretty fucking WACK!

I just had a Buffalo/Garlic Chicken patty… dont ask. Well fuck it, ask. That shit was banging! I had it on white bread. That store brand type. Shit was falling apart and what not. I wish I had some American cheese to go on tha bad boy but its all good. I guess this is where I am suppose to put the pic of the sammach….but guess what FUCK YOU, I don’t have one :) I ate it and didn’t think to take a pi of my fucking food so you can see it.

Damn That was a lil harsh but oh well, yall fools know the deal I don’t give a fuck but I do.

One of these days I am going to scan some pics from about 10 years ago, way before I knew I wanted to put the use my middle initial in my name. My boy Ron
Artist
has a scanner and its on!

My dog is way cooler then yours btw
Dutchess

The part I wrote below was before this…so yeah

Oh I see the connection. I was talking about my new hat that they blessed me with, I also got some fresh tees and a hoodie.

Shits are fresh. it was much needed as it fucking snowed today!

Would put up a pic but I am dumb high as these dudes have been burning it down with me since I met up with them.

Shouts to June btw, he hooked me up with Yuskue who is a real cool ass cat.

He took me to this mall out here that only had chick shops for mostly younger 24 and below chicks. Some really good looking ladies were spending up they rent checks up in that bad boy.

Its rage time, later kids!
