and the Beat goes on...

Wednesday was The Beats Expo...a hip hop event at a local college campus...

We were invited.

To perform.

Performances always make me hellanervous...but...I try to keep it together long enough so I won't barf on stage....

We arrived there early..about 2 hours before our stage time..to chill out, feel the crowd...etc. etc...

Lots of friendly familiar faces, like DJ Predator, who had just had his lip pierced and was carrying a bottle of mouthwash all day long..and it was the star of many of our pictures...

We also had the opportunity to meet DJ Lou Demo...a very well known turntablist...who I managed to grab some cool videos of...

He was so humble and so nice and sooo down to earth..even with all his accomplishments..that me and True immediatlely fell in love....

We exchanged numbers and promised to hook up in the nearby future...

So...as I was sitting there waiting for True to finish his DJ set...yes..he got a chance to play..which wasn't in the plans..but I was glad he did...cause he wanted to do so, very badly...

I was sitting with a friend..when...

you-know-who

showed up.

The Friend.

but she showed like incognito...cause when I looked up she was already next to True...

She glanced over..saw me and went to say "Hi".

I was polite said hi..and proceeded to keep talking to my pals..

She sat on the floor, asked me a question about some of the performers of the event...I answered and that was that.

If ya' thought I'd be hanging out with ya...ya' dead wrong.

So after True's gig..we were on....

We rocked it!!
So bad it wasn't even funny...but bad as in good...

We performed during lunch time, so there was lots of folks in the hallway...
People nodded..lifted up hands...cheered and sang with us...

It was awesome...
It was even more awesome seeing our Pastor and friends there supporting..

Need I say, that The Friend was there with a blank expression..and later I saw her reading a magazine through our show...

hmmm? I wonder where her support went..

After our show..she dissapeared...

And several people approached us to congratulate us and invite us to other activities and churches...

It was great when True said: We are not Christian Rappers, we are Christians who are in the Hip Hop scene...

It was so great....

And after that we stayed and chilled with the people...our friends..had some snacks and left to pick up Miss C...

But our day didn't end there...we went to church for a Business Conference they were having and eventually called it a day around midnight when we were snacking on our Snack wraps and coke...

It was Good.

Real Good.

Our days our booked all next week. We are going to several churches to perform for the youth and bring our message of life, hope and God to them....

I feel really blessed to be a part of this all and even though the weekend is gonna be hard....it's all well worth it...

Saturday we'll be attending a Conference sponsored by the Alianza de Autismo en Puerto Rico, about ABA and Sensory Integration. That is all day, then we head out to celebrate True's Birthday...he's having a big bash.

Sunday after church, True got invited to play at a store in Old San Juan....

So it's gonna be hectic..but it's gonna be great to start this journey with the people I love and share it with you guys..

Ok.
I'm sappy.
I'll stop.

Enjoy the pics...
