Thankful Thursday - special writer's edition

Slowly recuperating ... It's Still Thursday & I'm STILL Thankful;-) During previous Thankful weeks I listed:

184) This is future - but I'm still hyped & glad to experience Anticipation for it: Going to a FLY V.I.P. party tonight being hosted by one of my former class-mates who I haven't seen in AGES! It's SOOO exclusive the invite says no cameras allowed;-). I'm really looking forward to the REUNION in this setting!

185) More Anticipation: I'm excited that I'm going to return to the ATL for 2nd time this summer on Friday after work for the NBCC! My first time at the NBCC;-).

141) I'm INVITED TO SHARE my Writing at a MUSEUM!!

Below are images & VERY brief updates about those events:


Last Thursday evening my good friend, DKM (along with her man) & I enjoyed the festivities at Wesley Snipes' birthday party where I mixed & mingled with a rack of celebs - including a Brother I met thru our own Eb the Celeb;-). I talked to Brother Haki Madhubuti who blessed me with a copy of his newest book. I can proudly say I had a SOBER Blast in an OPEN BAR/TOP SHELF party!! Okay, so the fact that I was driving AND had to work the next day were my greatest incentives;-). Still, I had a FUNKY GOOD time! It was great reconnecting with other alum & long-time friends, too! Thanx L.D. for the invite and we'll all have to hook up again, J.R.!

After work the next day = Friday I took the subway then the bus to the airport & headed to the ATL for the NBCC. Upon arrival I immediately joined Sistahs Miz & BklynGirl at the bar, of course;-). I must say - we DID the THANG & Sistah Miz was on FIYAH!!


I'm too tired to write much, so Click Here to Read BklynGirl's post about the event. Click Here to Read Miz's post about it!

U know I couldn't visit the ATL a second time in the same summer without stopping thru Raw Dawg's Biz & Party Spot!



Flew back to NYC on Tuesday and got it in gear for my Wednesday Bronx Museum Reading. Was so excited that my Bronx crew of sistahs-support group came out. BrooklynGirl made that hike up north & guess who came out the woodwork? THAT JOHNSON BOY! This sistah could NOT have ASKED The Creator for a more wonderful group of folk to share the evening and a lovely repast with after the signing.
