EVENTS: NO1SDONEITRIGHT’S KID ‘N’ PLAY
Tuesday, August 5, 2008
Despite the threatening clouds looming in the sky, a mass of benevolent party-goers gathered for Kid ‘N’ Play: A Block Party Blowout, sponsored by No1sDoneItRight, an event planning service that serves the community with its earnings.
The event was a fundraiser for New York’s New Design High School on the Lower East Side, which faces severe budget cuts for the upcoming school year. The block party took us back to our days of innocence as kids with face-painting, double dutch, ICEEs and, of course, great music.
Turntablists Kev Sakoda and DJ Treats blessed us with oldies but goodies. Those tearing up the stage included J. Cole, a new comer with a sick flow, and preppy swag; Loj, of N.E.G; and Jade, who brought the show to a close with her brand of dance/acoustic pop.
Check out more pics of a Saturday well spent below the cut. Kudos N1DIR!

They don’t have stuff like that in L.A. I’m so jealous. It looks like it was a lot of safe trouble free fun.

That’s what i’m talkin’ ’bout!!! So much Positivity in the atmosphere If the drug dealers, hookers, pimps and prostitutes stay away, Parents stand up in their place and children remember to stay in their place…..This world would be a better Place!
Remember when you knew who the neighbor drug dealer was, but you knew bette rthan to be around him or caught with him bc you knew what would happen if your mama saw you with that person or the dealer would give you money to stay in school and be something better than him?
Remember when you knew who the pimps and hoes were, but you only knew them if you were out past the street lights?
Remember when you would try to be in all up in adults convo and they would say, “Stop minin’ grown folks bidness and stay in a child’s place?”
Those were the times when It took a village to raise a child……..But hey, maybe that that’s just My Rememberance
