Late today I received notice from Joey O that Lyrics Born would be performing at Duke Coffeehouse in just a few hours. Once I got my laundry chores done, I said “What the hell?” and was plopped into the center of the indie hip-hop vortex that is Durham. Thankfully, all of the Durmites refrained from stabbing me up long enough to enjoy the show. Lyrics Born definitely rocked the house and he seemed like a pretty chill guy (What up, Bay Area?), but the group that came on before him was smokin’. Heiruspecs reminded me a lot of the Roots and had some fly MCs. These guys were tight. I can’t wait to listen to the cds I picked up from them at the show.

Here is a picture of Joey O sayin’ “Heeeeeeeeyyyyyyy!” along with a roomful of college students. (I think I was actually the oldest person there. D’oh!)

After the show, we had an impromptu plik meetup at the Disappearing Bar. Thank goodness it didn’t disappear while we were inside.

Bottoms up from your favorite l337 IRC channel.
