The moon doing its thing tonight in downtown DC

It's so white in DC, goddamn

Unhealed people be out here dating like they not the problem.

The Tasting Salon will be opening to the public soon inside the Waldorf Astoria in DC. I got to taste some fine whisky (and whiskey) tonight. #whisky #whiskey

Thank you

I can't believe I get paid to eat and drink at spots that my little journalist salary would laugh at for free (well not exactly. I still gotta write about it)

Walking into the Waldorf Astoria playing Westside Gunn feels right.

I'm having a good Black ass day

I'm at ala, a Mediterranean spot in DuPont Circle in DC. The bar manager recognized me as a journalist & paid my entire tab. I never want them to do that because I can write it off on work days but that was nice. Woman is from Turkey, actually. What a dope day so far. I'm off to a whiskey tasting.

Good. Now I can stop buying bullsh*t hoodies and stop hiding my fire ones.

you know ball

I was there at that joint, bro!

I wish I could hear the entire Midnight Marauders album from A Tribe Called Quest for the first time again.

I can't stop playing Earl Sweatshirt's "CRISCO"

Anything by Parliament-Funkadelic reminds me of my parents because they were funk/soul musicians too.
