Black Thought II

As I was leaving the office on Wednesday, I was expressing to a co-worker my anger about it only being Wednesday.

"Ugh, tomorrow is only Thursday. It's not even payday on Friday...I have nothing to look forward to."

Boy was I ever wrong.

It started with a luncheon for Wendy Williams...

...it ended with meeting and standing next to Jay-Z at The Roots listening party.

In between was an in-person interview with ?uestlove.

And how did you spend your Thursday?

My day started with a luncheon that was to announce Wendy's new partnership with Alize.

And of course any event that deals with Alize, you know there is free liquor involved.

I make it a habit of not drinking but I said what the hell and drank anyways.

1 1/2 cocktails later I'm talking to my co-worker and realizing that I might be a little buzzed.

And it's only 2PM.

I got a chance to meet Wendy who is huge in person. I knew she was tall and I know I'm short but I felt like I was eyelevel with her breasts.

We finally stumbled are collective tipsy asses back to the office at 3PM - giving new meaning to taking a three hour lunch break.

I knew I had too much to drink when I started working and I totally made a mistake on one of the pages I was working on.

To the point where I had to tell myself back away from the keyboard and find something else to do until I got my mind right.

?uestlove from The Roots stopped by the office at around 7PM as he was on his way to a listening party for their new album 'Game Theory.'

If you aren't familiar with ?uestlove, he's a musical genius and the greatest drummer player I have ever seen in person.

Besides that, you really can't dislike anyone who rocks an oversized afro like he does.

Easily the most intelligent rapper I have talked to yet, the interview went well (I'll post the audio soon) and he was pretty open about the group's relationship with Geffen and working for Jay.

Last but not least, the listening party for The Roots.

When I asked ?uest about the album, he used the word "dark"

After listening to it, I can see why he used the word.

If your a big Roots fan, I couldn't even think of an album to compare it to.

It would be the equivalent of Common's Electric Circus album in terms of a certain level of seriousness.

But there is no radio single or anything that could come close to getting airtime on MTV so it will be interesting to see how Def Jam promotes it...

So what turned out to be just another Thursday turned into one of those memorable days....

If only Friday is half as good as today...
