What a great night..  We went to the Digital Underground show at the Shelter.  I was a huge fan of them when I was in high school.  Someone mentioned they were playing here yesterday and there was never a question that we were not going.  Mike Rich and his partner spun old school hiphop for a couple hours before the show and did a great job.  Then their DJ came out to warm up the crowd and he was amazing.  Just sick.  The main original guys were still there, MoneyB and ShockG.  Tupac started with the Digital Underground way back when.  The show was awesome, they played all my old favorties except for Underwater Rhymes (more on that later.) 

After the show I snuck everyone upstairs to meet the band (everyone always thinks I am a security guard or bouncer, and I have learned to go with it to get in places I am not supposed to be.)  I went to pay our tab and left Amber and Scottie, being two hot women, to find out where the afterparty was.  They did, and we ended up hanging out with the band until the wee hours.  The guys were awesome.  We talked about the group and music, SHock and I sang a little of Underwater Rhymes..  With lines like 'Hypothetical, political, lyrical, miracle whip..  It's like butta, my rhymes are legit' how can you not love it?  They are from Oakland and we shared our pain of being Raiders fans. 

They are playing in Durango tonight and then Breck on Monday.  I hink I am going to try andmake the Breck show to hang out with them some more.  I just love it when your childhood heroes are as cool as you thought they were.
