OK so one week out and I'm gonna start out "wif" a good one. I'm gonna leave the journey out to be documented by Alex since he was the one snapping pics, my camera was dead, all I'll say about it is A: Kansas Sucks! and B: Hitting a tractor trailer "re-tread" dead center doing 75mph at about 1:00am in the middle of Illinois will really mess up your evening...
Ok so apparently there are only 2 street festivals a year allowed in all of L.A., one being the Halloween parade in West Hollywood, and the other, which I hit up on Saturday, is Sunset Junction (27 years strong). It's a huge block party with rides, crappy carnival food, an abundance of brewski's, some of the weirdest characters you will ever come across and 3 stages of tunes... This year the highlight, for me, was Morris Day and the Time! I was genuinely excited to see the Time even though all I really knew about Morris is what I had seen on Purple Rain, but you have to admit that's enough to get excited about right there...
Anyway thanks to Snack's I finally charged up my camera and took a stroll down there to check it all out... What follows are some ok pics, and more crappy pics/vids of what I came across...
Enjoy...
Sunset was PACKED, this was for the Blonde Redheads who I had never heard of but were rather good...
Seriously just because there is a DJ, does there automatically have to be a really shitty "break'n" circle? These things should be out-lawed already!
We were all anxiously awaiting the Time on Santa Monica...
And Jonny Law was perched on the rooftops flashing his mag-lite at people...
Awwwwww Yeah!
It's called "The Bird!"
So I know the quality on this sucks and it's shakey as all hell but you have to check the entrance, the fur, 2 mirrors, the man's a pimp!
Now take a look at the choreography, this is a very very small sample, the man's still got it!
And OF COURSE:
I'm gonna go ahead and make a bold claim that this was easily one of the top 5 show's I've ever seen! These guys were funny, sounded great, got the crowd involed and were stylish as hell! Morris is a true entertainer and anyone who get's on a stage should take notes!
On a side note step your post's up "son" I've seen all these pics before, old news!
Catch ya next week although I don't know how it's gonna stand up to this week....

morris is still looking good! this is really awesome. Keep em coming barry.
i hope this provided some inspiration for you to finish the skanky floosies mix....
You saw Blonde Redhead and Morris Day in the same day! I'm jealous!
Oh, and all I really know about relationships is what I've seen on Purple Rain, but you have to admit that's enough to learn how to treat a lady.
