Atlanta and Thanksgiving

I’m headed to Atlanta for the annual thanksgiving get-together. This is the first time I am visiting the area for the infamous Thanksgiving party. In addition, baby girl and I get to see family residing out there. Traveling during the thanksgiving festivities is an arduous task ergo the fact that I never bothered to travel anywhere before. This year however I’d like to taste someone else’s cooking. Don’t get me wrong, baby girl and the ladies do put together quite the thanksgiving dinner. I just bring nachos, a few drinks and do what I’m told. I suggested one Thanksgiving that we deep-fry the turkey; I am officially a fire hazard in our house now. I don’t like turkey anyway, despite several tries I am yet to acquire a taste for the bird. I am interested in seeing how much stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy my boy K can actually stuff in his frame. The boy has an appetite second to none. For the unfamiliar folks, thanksgiving is one of the few holidays where pretty much everything stops;well everything apart from 711’s(convenient stores) and cop stations.
We have been promised entertainment galore in Atlanta. I usually lower my expectations at these types of events having been to some in other parts of the country. Some promoters have become so unbelievably egotistic and lazy that quality of work to them comes second to how much money they can make at these gatherings. We are beginning to see a break from the usual event with a host of new entrants to the scene. Despite all these, ATL-iens should consider themselves lucky to have classy and professional promoters such as 2Kat who are experienced at hosting such large gatherings. The duo of Daisy and June have worked tirelessly to try and revamp the entertainment scene and bring out some great ideas in conjunction with Kenyaniyetu and other event planners. Secondly the talented duo of Take Over Deejays has put together their lineup of Kenyan Artist and DJs, such as Pinye, Styles and up and comers from around. I’m excited that JuaCali is here, he is quite an act. All in all, it should be a pretty interesting 5 days out in Atlanta. I’ll recap soon as we get back. Happy Thanksgiving y’all.

Happy Thanksgiving. Hope you’ll enjoy enough to make you want to do another mix. Ya kufunga mwaka basi. Si that mugithi mix we have been talking about, am?
Bomseh, I’m at a loss. Either the music evades me, ama I just have bad luck. I’ll get w/the groove squad to see what we can come up with. For the time being, for sick mixes check out www.groove-squad.com
