Medicine for Melancholy



A Kevin Epps event... This was real nice. Screened Medicine for Melancholy, the writer/director Barry Jenkins answered questions after the movie, Then a panel came out to speak about the "Exodus" of African Americans from San Francisco. This ran all the way until they literally had to leave because of time... The audience wanted more and this discussion went extremely well with the movie. I was glad I made it out to see this screening because I almost did not make it.




Big Snopp Dogg at the FILLMORE



SFBFF had a chance to check out Snoop at the FILLMORE. I am always happy to see Snoop keep going. To come from where he did, doing what he did, and making a job out of it. He figured it out and grew up... You do not hear of Snoop doing anything (minus weed) or getting in any trouble anymore. He is just coasting and trying to stay busy (working). Good Job!!! I also like that his niche is just being cool... You can not beat that. Anyway he brought Daz and Kurrupt with him so they could do some of the classics. It was not a bad show and he is definitely a professional... all though he did start on time... he was about fifteen minutes late (wonder why:) -Thank you Greg "Dread"... good looking out



everyday is a work day....

Checking out venues and working on program schedules with funding and marketing simmering on the back burner. We could use some help, but we are moving ahead at full steam and it will come together...Keep SFBFF in your prayers!! and on your tentative calendars.

Peace

I was not going here but passed it on my way to the Brava. It had a nice sign that really stuck out... even in the day. It was closed but I could see someone sleeping inside. Not a bum or anything but maybe a worker. I only saw a pillow propped up inside on what looked like a pallet. But this is all an assumption of course. I wanted to check it out but maybe my next visit they will be open or I will make an appointment.
