T&F Day
This year the events i'm doing are the 100m ,400m, 800m, and also the long jump, i dropped the 1500 last minute...
Anyways yeah i'm timings for this year (not all my best) are: 100m: 13.8, 400: 1:05, 800: 2:40, all my running events are pretty good for a 14 year old freshmen, but my long jump is measly 3.6 metres! Meh
Also i'm representing my "region" (kinda like houses) for the 4x100m relay. Today in our first practice we got 55 seconds which is pretty bad. Hopefully we'll improve it tomorrow!

Roots 2nd annual picnic
http://www.okayplayer.com/rootspicnic/
Aight okay to keep along with this whole "rap hip hop concert" theme, i have just found the lineup for the 2nd annual Roots picnic. This year it features Public Enemy, Asher Roth, Black Keys, Tv on the Radio, Antibalas, Kid Cudi and more. This years lineup doesn't really impress me, i guess the only real point of going would be to see The Roots or Public Enemy, also having Kid Cudi is also another good way of attracting more people.

Lasts years lineup was pretty solid overall too, Gnarls Barkley, The Cool Kids, Jazzy Jeff, Sharon Jones and more etc. If you guys are in Philly around early June go check it out!

Rock The Bells 2009
http://guerillaunion.com/ scroll down for the poster.
At first glance i thought it would be weaker than last years lineup
http://consequenceofsound.net/2008/04/22/rock-the-bells-reveals-2008-lineup/
with artists like Nas, A Tribe Called Quest, Mos Def, De La Soul, Ghostface, Immortal Technique, Murs, Dead Prez, Raekwon etc. last years hosts were B-Real, Supernatural and Scratch
A lineup like that is pretty damn hard to beat, but thats when i checked out the 2009 lineup, Nas, The Roots, Common, Big Boi, KRS-One, Damian Marley, Talib Kweli, RZA, Raekwon, and of course... K'Naan! Anyways this years host are pretty spectacular too: Pete Rock, Murs, Supernatural...and KRS-One!
Anyways check it out guys! Hopefully Rock The Bells 09 will come to a city near you! Unfortunately for me however, i haven't heard of any other Rap concerts down in Beijing, China so i guess i'll just have to watch the concert online or download a video of it.
Peace.
