YUME

Starting Thursday we had one of the most eventful weekends in the HISTORY of YUME (hmmmm, I might be exagerating that one, but it was pretty damn eventful). It all started with THE CLASS REUNION, which has deffinitley been an event that has organically progressed quite nicely over the past few months. We can't wait until August, when we ROCK THE BLOCK!

Then on to our July 4th, which was filled with good BBQ and a relaxed day.

Saturday July 5th, was off the hook. YUME utilized one of its community partnerships to take over 20 young Crown Heights Skate Boarders to the AFRO-PUNK Skate Park. The only thing that could possibly compete with that fulfillment was to see our favorite AT ALIEN grace the stage, none other than the illustrious MS. JANELE MONAE.

And we might have failed to mention our special guest throughout the weekend,but some things are best left to the imagination.

Big shouts to the LIVE WIRE, MOS DEF, MONE DIVINE, , JANELE MONAE, PRINT, J, and everyone else that helped to make this weekend so momentous. It is certainly one for the history books. Can't wait ti bust loose in the FALL. SHEESH!

So as usual you know YUME loves good music, and our friends from the ATL have brought us some new stuff. PROTON, who incidentally will be performing this SUNDAY at GENERATION D, have just dropped a new joint for all to hear! Make sure you check it out and don't forget to come through thus SUNDAY it's gonna be off the hook. This joitn is crazy!

THE BEAUTIFUL STRUGGLE CONTINUES...

Or at least you should be, THE AFRO-PUNK FESTIVAL kicks off this SATURDAY JULY 5TH, 2008! And who else would BROOKLYN have join the festival and help open it up than our favorite AT ALIEN Janele Monae. We'll aslo be hanging with the youth learning how to kick flip, coast, and all the other amazing tricks at THE AFRO - PUNK Skate Park. Boy we can't wait! We hope to see you there.
