Summer 2008 Begins

Odunde 2008
June 8th

As always with Odunde our New Year's celebration began with a procession to the river in praise to Oshun. To us the spiritual and community connectedness consumates the reasons for this festival's existence. One minor hiccup, or major depending on your perspective, was the late arrival of KRS-1. As the ehadliner for this year's entertainment, KRS-1 was not allowed to perform, due to arriving almost an hour late. with only minutes left the city began to shut down the festival, thus curtailing any performance. Needless to say, many Odunde attendees were dissappointed. Due to the professionalism of founder, Lois Fernandez and daughter Oshunbumni the festival the crowd remained calm and concluded without a hitch.

Wall Street Fashion Show
June 1st

We also had the pleasure of attending a fashion show at Wall Street, which is located in West Philly. The Wall Street complex is impressive in that it has two large buildings and a vast open air venue suitable for concerts and vending. Second World Production and Simply Netfah presented the two best lines in our "biased" opinion.
