I am more than likely going to be covering this event for Richmond Worldwide Underground, so after Sunday I'll write a detailed post on how it was. If ya' don't know about Harriet's Alter Ego's Check out her site.

AM Radio has parterned with Scion to create LOCATION, an interactive art installation in a four story Baltimore townhome. The residence has been completley revamped with original paintings and sculptures by area artist. LOCATION will host a weeks worth of events with a revolving door of DJ's and performers.

Wreckfest

Wreckfest's closing party in the Tiffany Gallery of the Arlington Arts Center is going to be a day and night long event filled with a fashion show, live graffiti installations and panel discussions about graffiti art and the influence of Hip Hop Culture. Jobyl A. Boone, one of the co-curators from the Smithsonian’s Recognize exhibit will be speaking on the panel. If you read this here blog then you already know how I feel about the Recognize exhibit, but in any case, I still think the closing night of Wreckfest is going to be dope.

De La Soul and 9th Wonder

De La Soul will be performing with 9th Wonder at MCCXXIII (1223). Even though the choice of venue is odd to say the least, this show should still be amazing. It's been awhile since De La Soul performed in DC, so this is definitely a treat. The only downside is that Thursday is MCCXXIII's 18 and over night, so be prepared to party with folks that probably don't truly remember who the hell De La Soul is. To be honest 1223 isn't one of my favorite spots in town, let's face it; it sucks and is pretty pretentious most nights, but it's worth the ride for De La Soul!

MCCXXIII is at 1223 Connecticut Ave.
Doors open at 8:30pm
This event is free with a pass/ticket.

Laced

The guys over at Laced are doing it again, this with live sneaker installation by SDTV, live art by Greg the Color Slinger, and fashions by Bliki Clothing.

It's going down Thursday, March 20, 2008 at the Cue Bar
