Afro Punk is cool I went back in 2013. The Afro-Bohemians come out in full-force or perhaps those that just want to be seen as Afro-Bohemians. And yes 99% of the chicks there have natural hair. Anyone with a weave will feel self conscious. :heh:
All of the white people that I saw had black friends. I remember there was a white couple in dashiki's :wtf: I guess white people always think they have to dress to a theme. :yeshrug:However, they were with a black couple so I wondered why they black couple didn't say anything to them :why: Anyway I don't see white people taking this over until maybe a couple years from now.
I wonder what the turnout will be like since this is the first year they are charging, and $50 at that. They should've at least started out at $10-$20. It's crazy to go from free to $50.

Not surprised that you was there.

It sounds like your kind of place.

Feels like they're trying to make it more "safe", appearance-wise and block out the average dudes from the block who don't really go for the acts or to purchase anything. They just go to smoke and bag chicks. Best believe those dudes ain't paying that $50 cover.

On a positive note....it feels good to be surrounded by black people from the ratchets to tge professionals lol.

Love seeing black businesses....i had to walk out of several convenience deli stores that werent black ownes.


Word for my nyc peeps turn 1/3 of these churches, liquor stores and hair stores into groceries or o ther useful businesses that community need
Oh! You're a tourist.

NYC takes getting used to (3-5 years) -- esply if you have never lived in a big, DIVERSE metropolis before.

My emotions during my first walk through Harlem in 2012 reminded me of the feeling I had when I first walked above ground from the London subway in Trafalgar Square in 2004. I was finally "there," and "there" was very different than anywhere else I had been previously.
