The N.E.R.D Show at Wayne State was sick.
It was a free show ..so people were just piling in by the dozens.. Craziness!
People, people, people..
G.O.O.D Music Artist Big Sean also performed..
I wasn’t dancin’ too much that day but you know me..
I can smell a circle from a mile away.. A couple cats were gettin’ on the Good Foot..
I never took a whole lot of time out to learn Krumping.. so I love seeing people krump.
I respect it.. it’s a powerful dance, and some people get pretty creative.. Props!
As N.E.R.D hit the stage everybody went nuts..
And before you knew it.. the crowd surfers were everywhere..
..and when I say everywhere I mean mostly on the ground. Even after Pharrell’s heartfelt speech about all of the crowd surfers being as safe as possible. Everybody Nose that once you’re in the air, you’re in the hands of the people.. Oh well, it’s all in good fun.. and no one ended up getting hurt..
..Well, no one except my glasses..
which ended up getting destroyed in the midst of the crowd.
To have so many people hang on to everything you do..
..to stand at the edge of the stage and serenade the crowd.
Has to be an amazing feeling!
I love when good things happen in lil’ Michigan.

I know at least a few people were wondering what was in the box..
It was my Kisai Denshoku Watch..
There are 12 bars that light up in 3 different instances..Once for the hours, and twice for the minutes. Yeah, I know it sounds weird, it’s a bit hard to explain..perhaps I’ll just put it in the next video.
I had a couple of people ask me, “.. why didn’t I just get a G-Shock?”
Well, the answer to that is simple. I think there’s a huge difference between being fashionable, and being trendy.
Being Trendy consists of:
- Having the newest, coolest, most well known/expensive gear
- Wearing cool brands because they’re considered cool brands
- Rockin’ shit just like everybody else..
On the contrary, being Fashionable is more so:
- Wearing the brands that you like, popular or not..
- Combining elements from various styles
- Finding shit that people aren’t really doing yet, and makin’ it sweet..
I’d rather hear: “Oh wow, what’s that?”
than
“Oh cool, is that a G-Shock? Check mine out too..”
