You Need More Culture In Your Life

Consider yourself truly blessed that I'm in your life. Who else but this Jaded NYer keeps you informed of all the coolest shit going on in the City we all love so much?

*****

Through February 26th, you can visit the Caribbean Cultural Center for the Marvelous Color exhibit.



This show features six of Marvel's African/African American comic book superheroes. Now, I'm not a big comic book person, but I am a fan of David Medina, fellow Dominicano, Alfred U. alum, killer DJ and artist extraordinaire, and muralist for this exhibit.

*****

Are you familiar with my favorite little British jazz/pop musician, Jamie Cullum? No? Well here are his latest singles:





Niiiiice, right? Well you're in luck because he will be in NYC all next week. And of course I'm trying to be front and center in at least one of his NYC shows. You're more than welcome to be there with me.

*****

If you like Shakespeare as much as I do, mosey on down to the Brooklyn Academy of Music to see As You Like It and The Tempest (through March 13th), both directed by Sam Mendes. Again, you are more than welcome to accompany me to any or both of these wonderful plays.

*****

Besides Jamie Cullum, I've been grooving to some Marsha Ambrosius lately. LOTS of Marsha Ambrosius. I just cannot get enough of her voice. DAMN that girl can sang. If you want to experience some REAL music in your life, head on over to Eb the Celeb's site and download Marsha's latest mixtape. You'll thank me. Trust.

*****

I've always toyed with the idea of getting all dressed up and going to the opera. I mean, I'm in NYC dammit! The opera is a MUST on every city dweller's bucket list. So I decided that sometime between March 19th and April 18th I'm going to the New York City Opera to see Madama Butterfly. Who's coming with??

*****

SAVE THE DATE: I have two successful literary readings under my belt. The weekend of March 20th will find me hosting a third. Those of you who keep apologizing for missing out have another chance to NOT incur my wrath.

I kid, I kid.

Not really.

Seriously, though, I love your support, both verbal & physical. Mark your calendars, okay? If you can't make it feel free to spread the word to your friends and family.

Know of anything else going on? I'd be really good eye candy...just saying...
