DANCE AFRICA in and around BAM! This Weekend!

Feel that 84 degree sun? Before you leap from that digital box and squeaky office chair I wanted to remind you that Brooklyn's beloved Dance Africa festival is happening inside and outside BAM this Memorial Day weekend.



Expect good looking people, performances, crafts, an outdoor shopping bizarre and a ton of island and soul food so good, best to get on line now.

Ashland Place and Lafayette Avenue outside and inside BAM.

Below more pics from last year, don't say I didn't tell ya!

"B-Polite" (he's the tall brother in a skull mask) this was at the African street festival and it was a great weekend. Here's wishing you all the best for fun and safety this weekend of independence in America. How bout that when I driink I turn patriot....

Memorial Day Weekend 08 in and around B'klyn

Considering it took three days to do, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that it's taken a day to get to writing about what my Memorial Day in (and around) B'klyn was like. I had a very enjoyable weekend and I hope you did too. This posting will serve the dual purpose of telling my weekend story in pictures and making up for all the "Photo Wednesdays" I missed. Comments will come as time allows.
