Scotty came up from Hollywood and I came down from Corvallis. We met up with our dear friends, Casey and Lauren, so watch a screening of an original hip-hop play written by Casey, Jon, Ian and their friend. <br /><br />It was AMAZING! It was a brilliant blend of gospel meets rap, with muted earth tones splashed with vibrant red. Everything about this play (technically a "reading") was beautiful, even the ugly, creepy, and scary parts. <br /><br />I wish you could have all been there to see it. And I truly hope opportunity comes knocking and it gets picked up by a producing company or something. <br /><br />Scotty went back down to Hollywood for (hopefully) just a few more days. In the meantime, Case and Lauren are in town, so give them a shout out and/or buy them a beer (they are truly deprived in CA with a lack of 1) good coffee and 2)good micro brews!<br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from Crystal's iPhone<br />scotty and crystalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08324215837066802171noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329847.post-34242252643961942702010-04-23T12:43:00.000-07:002010-04-23T12:44:32.610-07:00Wow, bach nah!A little something from our boys in Malika.

I am thankful and excited for whatever life has for us. As you may know our dear friends Casey and Lauren moved to Hollywood to follow their dreams of music and photography. The plan was for Scotty to go with them and stick around for a month or so to work on the recording studio that they want to build. Pretty last minute the plans changed and we ended up driving down a week after Casey and Lauren so I could see them all too and then I would fly back home.</p><p class="mobile-photo">Needless to say hanging with the crew was AMAZING. I had a blast and am already looking for cheap tickets so I can go visit again soon. The only bummer part of the whole thing is saying goodbye, even if it's only for 8 weeks or so, it still sucks. So, I left my hubby in CA along with my crazy friends and I can't wait to see them all again soon. And wouldn't you know it, I was so caught up in the weekend (it was a big weekend after all--more on that) and I only took 4 pictures.....4! So, sorry kids, but that's all you get. <img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjol6Kv8MfFl7Ic3FzXno9xHgy6EiUDJ11qzW_tuEDF5z3xK579vmf0UQ5rIERjDEGi9gYFZs1UhpFo-fLdDpR69y3R1_yq_ssXq-Z2FMt11h3hhpoDBBbOirGiIp1XO8jBVpWG/s400/P1182054-777470.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429434277259836690" /></p><p class="mobile-photo">The ONLY shot I got of all us together and naturally it's blurry.

The closest we found was AcroBoubab, a local place to do high ropes course in Boubab trees. </p><p class="mobile-photo">A HUGE shout out thanks to Brea for letting us stay at her place, it's like a resort, we LOVE IT!!!</p><p class="mobile-photo"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKof6s7HtxagzbH37gVEvsjr56qPKrnG8px7A08ig4-joBPzR1Zo8MtuoT-L-7LIDwbR_QRO4sIu1YMinId5DK3I7pcUXCNmGX1DxQPCJlN83kjZ8Yv9JyS_JwwcLPIRIOx9OU/s400/PB071873-723241.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401558849870166834" /></p><p class="mobile-photo">All smiles because we haven't climbed yet for the day...just wait.</p><p class="mobile-photo"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFgL6JLZKC7XQz-K4wOnb-z8k9rxoPC49CfOVbT3NWGjty7uBsyCPc_RBQwTzOs9b6cd9JcVrVvhr9CUp6hzmlEy_vaw4TPM13DpvVg1DjrsLVy5O92Hz4l1dEssy6dddo4AaN/s400/PB071874-724174.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401558851949069778" /></p><p class="mobile-photo">Really?
