Kid Cudi @ the TLA

another Wired show .. this is probably the 5th or 6th of the summer .. which is a lot compared to when i first started working there, we didnt have any really. not such a big fan of Cudi ... he reminds me of another Lupe - in which i cant really cant down with lol. BUT 2 things.

1. years ago, when i was like a freshman at college, i took a trip to new york and i met this guy - he was on the street selling his mixtape ( yeah i know my rule about rappers, but this was before everything i know now. trust me, if this happened within the last year i woulda walked by like i never knew him lol ) and so i gave him my number and we always stayed in contact. i saw him the next year when i was back in new york and he came to philly to see me, although that wasnt as much of a good visit as the ones to new york lol. but then we had a falling out , and recently we had gotten back in contact with each other. yesterday he text me that he was coming to philly and i told him i had to work. he said he was going to be recording so i should come see him when i got done ... the minute i go to the TLA last night , i saw him lol. such a good surprise and it was good seeing him. its been years. apparently he is real good friends with Cudi and travels with him and all that. and of course, i had to take my favorite type picture ...

yeah i know .. he had on Ones. i didnt think they did that anymore . BUT . he was cute all in the same. funny thing is - earlier that day i tweet'd that the sexxiest thing a dude can wear is dark blue jeans, a white t, and a yankee fitted ... and thats what he had on! i could have done without the Forces .. but i let it slide lol.

ok .. now

2. before the show, out back there was a mom and little boy - probably no older then like 13 .. were waiting and waiting for him to show up - i mean they waited a LONG ass time. during the show, they were STILL standing out there and i think the venue's security noticed and brought them in so they could stand backstage and watch. one of Cudi's people saw the little boy and started talking to him and the MINUTE Cudi came off stage, his homie went up to him and must have gave him the talk-to and Cudi went right over to the boy and took pictures and talked to him and his mom and chilled with them for a sec. i really liked that. im not a big fan of his music - but as a person i really respect that. a lot of artists that i have met dont pay any of the fans mind - they come, they perform, and they bounce. but not him - and i really admire that. so for that i give him a lot of props. and this little boy was SO excited - he could not stop smiling. so sweet : )

here some pics from the venue .. it was super dark and being backstage and taking pics shooting out didnt really work out that well .. but you get the drift. LOL
