Touche

For whatever reason, I was unable to upload any images to Blogger last night or this morning. Right now, 10pm, is the first chance I've had to try again since this morning. The mixed media image above is called "Boogie Session" and is inspired by the 1970s television series, What's Happening!!, as well as Cooley High, the film that preceded it.

Anyway, the weekend went well. The surprise birthday party for Brandon that several of us had planned ended up backfiring when Brandon came home to his apartment an hour early. Fortunately, the only people there were Paige, Brent and myself. It was pretty obvious what was going on, what with all the food and music. Since we weren't expecting any guests for another fifteen minutes, I came up with the idea of hiding Brandon in his bedroom. I insisted that "somebody is going to be surprised tonight. Even if it's not the guest of honor."

As guests began to arrive, Brandon sat in his bathroom, with the door locked, drinking from a can of Hamm's. The plan was that we were going to all stand in the living room, facing the front door, with our backs conveniently to Brandon's bedroom. The new plan, however, was that instead of Brandon walking in through his front door to the surpise of several of his closest friends waiting for him, he would come out of his bedroom to the shock of those very people.

I told Brandon I would turn on his current favorite song--"Slick As Snails" by Robert Pollard, and that would be his cue to enter.

He did.

And the people were surprised.

And then we bumped Wu Tang all night.
