February. Where Did It Go?

Where did I go?

I had to check my calendar. I didn't realize how much I did. And I'm sure I'm going to forget something, but here's a recap:

• 2/1 - Golden State Poetry Slam with @nercity to set up a table for "Oakland Girl". It was a good night for me!
• 2/4 - I went to visit with my biz partner before she took off to LA for 3 weeks. We went out to a Mardi Gras themed house party in Walnut Creek to see some of the homies after.
• 2/5 - I had my son's elementary school auction which was hosted by Chuy Gomez! Fun times and great food!
• 2/6 - Super Bowl Sunday I party hopped. Had my son and my girl's daughter, we went from Emeryville to Newark right after the halftime show.
• Conference Calls
• 2/11 - Picked up a rental car and hit the 5 South to La La Land... I had an amazing amazing amazing time. Grammy Weekend. Hot Parties. Great Music and Quality Time.
• Valentine's Day. A friend of mine saved it for me. I drove back from LA that day and had no plans. He bought me some chocolates and a teddy bear from Walgreen's. Pizza and a RedBox movie. :)
• All Star Weekend while everyone was in LA, I have no idea what I did in Oakland. Don't remember!
• This past weekend I went to a reception hosted by Mayor Jean Quan at the African American Library, then shot over to the Warriors game. Big Warrior loss but I had a great time! Spent Saturday with my business partner catching up on projects, then went out with my girl who is home from Atlanta for the week. I'd tell you about our adventure but then I'd have to merk you!
• 2/27 - My book club Booktini met for our Semi-Annual co-ed meeting and that was a colorful discussion, to say the least! There ended up being about 20 of us in the lounge at the Uptown apartments, trying to keep the volume down so as not to disturb the neighbors...Later that night, my girl and I went to the city to catch Ryan Leslie at Ruby Skye. GREAT SHOW! He took forever to get on stage but once he showed up I loved every second. I'm a HUGE fan of his music. He's one of the great producers of our time.

Tonight, Monday 2/28, I have tix to see Common and Cookie Johnson at the Casquelorde Center but I don't think I'm going to make it! I'm pooped! Slept three hours last night. (That's not enough.)
