No Sleep 'til Brooklyn.

I love when you have a really great night when your expectations were low or you thought it was going to be just another normal night. Well, that happened to me on Friday.

A friend I worked with back in Arkansas was visiting NYC, and invited me to come watch her DJ play at a warehouse club in Brooklyn. Not going to lie, Brooklyn scares me. I just don't think I'm "hipster" enough to be hanging out in Williamsburg. But Friday, I felt pretty hip.

We got to the club and somehow cheated the line {didn't expect a line either} and walked into a pretty intense Moroccan music set. Not my normal style but I can dig it.

I assumed the rest of the show was going to have this same trance-y, Moroccan feel. Boy, was I wrong. Next walked out a petite girl dressed in leather sweatpants and six inch pumps...and did she drop the beat? Yes. She starts rapping, and the girl has got some rap game. Being from the "dirty" south I can appreciate rap.

Even though I had class at 9AM the next morning, we stayed out dancing 'til about 3:30AM. Then we scoped out a crowded little pizza joint and found a stoop to enjoy our slice. Turns out people are very friendly at 3:30AM when they are searching for food. We made some friends but I finally had to call it quits so I could go home and get {some} sleep.

I am obsessed with this song right now. 

Give it a listen and you will love it just as much.

Best and Worst of the Grammy's

I was overall satisfied with the outcome of the Grammy's. I enjoyed the award show while stuffing my face with Japanese takeout. This automatically gave me the right to judge every performance, clothing option, and award winner. So here's to the best, and let's just hope the worst reevaluate a few things before their next public appearance. 

BEST

 Two words: Adele and snot. She absolutely rocks, and the fact that she announced her snot on stage makes her even better. She definitely deserved every award she received.

Jennifer Hudson's tribute to Whitney Houston. Beautiful, and I know Ms. Houston is very pleased. 

Bon Iver for the win. Very rarely does an indie up-and-coming artist win so it was great to see him get best new artist. Plus, his very awkward speech was icing on the cake. 

Glen Campbell tribute. After all he is dealing with, I love that he can still appear on stage without a care in the world.  

WORST

Taylor Swift's dress. I mean Taylor Swift in general is bad, but she could have at least worn a evening gown. Instead she wore her grandmother's moo moo. 

Katy Perry's hair. And the fact her new song is a desperate outreach to ex-hubby, Russell Brand.

Nicki Minaj's entire performance. I don't really know what happened, but I think she managed to piss of a bunch of Catholics. 

The fact that Florence + the Machine was not nominated for  a single word, or was asked to perform. They are phenomenal!!!
