THURSDAY HAPZ: Good Times in the SBC :)

This time last week I was preparing to see KEVON EDMONDS live at the Bijou.

I know I never wrote about the event, but trust that it was classy ... and KEVON sang his heart out (and looked quite dapper while doing it).

I wasn't one of the long line of ladies grabbing at him, feeling him up or dying to take a pic (I've long lost my sense of being starstruck) ... but I was quite impressed with the event.

Save for the blown fuses (post-show) that shut the DJ down, it was a great look for the Bijou. (I'll post pics later)




FLASHING FORWARD TO TONIGHT ... It's actually a THURSDAY with something to do!!!

DURING THE DAY --- The State Fair opens today (at 10 am) and will run through Nov. 8th! Althought the rides are nice .... I look forward to the fair for the FOOD ... a turkey leg, corn dog and funnel cake ... Please and thank you!!!! :)

ALSO TONIGHT ....

It's the opening night for Mahogany Ensemble Theatre's production of CROWNS.

CROWNS is a spirit-filled tribute of the faith and fashion of African American women and their love of hats. This popular musical peers into the lives of five women and one young girl as it celebrates family, faith, love, loss, and finding one's true identity.

CROWNS will only be shown Thursday and Friday at 7:30 each night. Tickets are; $15 for adults, $10 for Seniors/Students, and $5 for Youth (12-under). And Yes, HATS are allowed! :)
