Fresh Prince ....

"Now this is the story...all about how... i became the Prince of a town called Bel Air..."

Do you remember the Fresh Prince and Jazzy Jeff (sing it with me summer... summer... summertime... lalalalala) - well i saw an older version of the kid who used to get thrown out of the house by Dr Banks. I know, we're going back in time here. But how could i miss the opportunity to see him in the flesh.

We ended up in Canvas (Kings X) on Sunday night - we were lucky it was pouring down with rain and cold. I had never been to the Canvas, but as my work colleague mentionned today "isn't it dodgy up there?". Well this is Kings X after all - however up and coming it may be.

The Canvas has four rooms house, hip hop, soul and techno. To be honest, I only saw two. The techno one (ie. the entrance) and the hip hop one. Don't get me wrong, I like hip hop but like everything, in small doses. I managed to stick around , bumping my head up and down for a good three hours before Mr JJ made an appearance. And to be honest, he was the master. He mixed great tunes, Nirvana, Michael Jackson with odd (and crankin') stuff. But it worked. He got everyone going. Alas, by 2 am by feet were killing me, a drunken blond was trying to start a fight and an out-of-place BcBg type got pissed off because he left his glass with me and was surprised when i threw it (delicately) on the floor. So i called it quits and trodded off home in the rain.

A sweet affair, nonetheless. Big up to Big Dj JJ - you da man.
