It's Official...

The "guaranteed to be the hottest concert since The Velvet Rope Tour" is back and closer than ever! Before, The Roots (yes sir) were makin' pit stops in Florida 5 hours away from my front door step. Now they're as close as 45 minutes away!!! BUT WAIT, THEREEESS MORE!!! That's not even the best part. They're coming with none other than "all you gotta do is say yes" Floetry. BUT WAIT, THEREEESS MORE!!! THAT'S still not even the best part. Okay, okay, the best part is...(drumroll please)...the concert is only $15. (crowd says "no way"). YES WAY! This has to be the best deal since, well since Ruby Tuesday's started sellin' double shots of Patron Silver for $5 (crossin' my fingers that it's not just a South Beach thing). Guess times have changed, 4 years ago the cheapest ticket in town was $85 for mediocre seats at a Janet concert. Combined with payin' $2.67 (yes the price has gone up once again...shouts out to G.W.) for a gallon of gas, $15 for two hot groups is a steal. I might just donate the other $30 they should be charging for tickets to some small non-profit organization in their honor. Yes they are "coming to break us off". Florida ain't ready!

All those Spelmanites and Morehouse Men have enjoyed my list thus far, however, I'd like to make an addendum to the "Oh how I miss..."

...the bunny hop.

...hearing t-shirt and panties at the end of every Market Friday.

...songs made more popular through probate shows ("Gator Boots").

(sorry if you were expecting more)

This article was forwarded to me through my one real connection to the AU, the Spelman yahoo server. Pretty good read for those in that "twenty's something" phase. Gave me some words of inspiration, hope it brings you some too. Doesn't hurt that it's written by an Alumna either.

Carry on...
