△9 » here is the ‘vinyl potluck’ science: there is a sign up sheet by the turntables when you walk in… bring records & sign up if you wanna play. now, here is the math: 9 records at aprox 2min each is a 18-20min set, allowing 3 folks an hour. Nueve is from 7-11p that’s about a 9-12 person record potluck rotation (we usually always go over haha) see you there!

Pink Dot Mission – Wu Tang Reference – Love*

++supreme (k)New Years Eve memory*
blueberry flowers perfumed our walk...
reunited over pink dot...

appreciating the moment
and those who shared it,
loving the gift and the plan...
every single morsel of it...
So much beauty in the struggle!
WE STAY WOKE*
+photos coming soon....

***The Lyrics that inspired missions accomplished... 

Wu-Tang Reunited:

(Verse Three: RZA)
"Yo, yo, The Riddler, funny bone tickler,
freak Caligula
Bigger dick sex enigma
pistol fertilize your stigma
Stinkbox, order from pink dot
MC's get stuck on ink blots
as I plug to the sinkbox
Wu-Tang Incorp.
take your brain on spacewalk
Talk strange like Bjork,
great hero Jim Thorpe
How can I put it?
Life is like video footage
Hard to edit, directors,
that never understood it..."
