When I say FUNK, you say DOOBIE! FUNK! DOOBIE!

Well, surprise surprise!

When I headed to the concert of Funkdoobiest at the Party Center before a bit more then a month I thought I’ll finally have some dope hip hop photos, be cool and OG, and stuff, you know… To my great luck I found myself in the middle of over 1 000 people crowd and NO photo area or anything likely to become one… After stubbornly doing my best to get my lenses to the stage and meanwhile getting myself into trouble several times calling unpleasant names guys way too big for me to call them even their own name, I finally ended up almost touching the damn stage… but not in a tangibly different situation. Damn.

Friendly elbow pokes followed by in the competition with some local wannabe rap stars for a better view, accompanied by love dancefloor confessions of the “Move, bitch!” type and fire sparks in the eyes. The situation beyond any doubt was to say that obviously photographers are people of no higher view rights or any journalistic privileges besides their media function. Disappointing. Indeed. So moi said to herself that she will NOT beg anyone to cover a stupEd, retardEd event involving some pseudo rap superstars who believe they are the center of the universe since they support Funkdoobiest and do everything they can with their over 100 key geee personal weight to block her view, especially when she knew them and thought they are her friends from quite before they started doing small gigs here and there… by chance…

As you can see I didn’t took it at all personal, :D, but somehow I just did not push the shutter even one single time after that thought that eve. :)

Here I should say that promoters from Re-act did the best to make their next event, the gig of Necro flawless after the little unexpected crowd fail on 1st of October and that in spite of it Funkdoobiest gave their audience a powerful and stylish performance. Love and respect to both parties! :)

And the surprise, surprise thing at the end of this heartbreaking story, is that today by chance I found out that I actually DO have several pix from that night! Happy time and here they go:
