Last weekend

So last weekend, my friend Thomas (from AOD) and I put together a huge hip hop show in downtown Sonora. The only shows this town has ever had were the same death/metal/screamo bands over and over again that always play at this little rec. place... And you also get country concerts from time to time. The town is about 95% hick - where everyone rides horses, tractors, hell even their sister.. so makes sense.

But we wanted to do something different.. We had invited artists from all over to come out. We got cats out from the bay and a number of other places to come out with us.

Everything went off with a bang. Hundreds of people turned out. We got up on stage to start off our set and everyone filled in. We got the whole place packed and everyone was jumping and moving around. It was a damn good time and alot of fun.

Everything was cool 'til some of the artists came in after us. Mr. Beanz (an artist I work with) came in to do some of his tracks, but fucked up his equipment and cd. So his cd kept skipping and repeating the same first 3 songs over again. This was really starting to piss everyone off, especially the next artists trying to perform. So we had to cut him short. He flipped out. Him and his mexican posse jumped on stage and got in our face. Beanz was on x and been drinking so it didn't help the situation either, and they all tried to start to a fight.

We settled it though and the show moved on. I'm outside chillin afterwards and find out Mr. Beanz saw his girlfriend dance with my friend Smoke (zach) for a second. He goes crazy and they all go outside and it turned into another huge fight, and knives got pulled.

Meanwhile, Sav Nation (a group from Sac) are up on stage and start a whole bunch of shit. One of the guys jump off stage and smashed a girl in the face. She dropped to the floor and started getting kicked repeatedly. As if this wasn't fucked up enough, she was pregnant. A huge brawl started. Tables and chairs were getting broken, bottles broken over people's heads, and one guy even got picked up and thrown off a railing (there's about a 20 foot drop, sharp rocks below, and a creek that's only a few inches deep.)

My brother and a few guys I had as bouncers all got into another seperate fight. They got guns pulled out on them, a whole bunch of guys got thrown downstairs, and a massive riot was going on. We had about 15 cops show up and the whole place got raided and shut down. I saw a whole bunch of people I knew on the sidewalks getting cuffed.

and that was my weekend. thanks for listening.
