Art, Beats + Lyrics - Atlanta 2008

Sights galore at this revolutionary presentation of art sponsored by Jack Daniels. Call me Ol' Skool, but I didn't even know there was a Gentleman Jack spin-off. It was smooth alright. So was the cocktail made with it, Chambord, cranberry juice, and a splash of champagne.

Artist Maurice Evans and DJ Nabs were spotted among the many beautiful people in the house including former L.A. Sentinel writer turned Spelman PR pro Angela Johnson, trend spotter Kebo, yoga stylist Sheryl Brown, and Jasz of the venerable Ear Wax brand.

These ears were bent quite a few times about how much the historic record store is missed since leaving their midtown location in the ATL. The prevalent thought among the consensus was that there was no longer a place that you could go to and get plugged in. Ear Wax should have the status reserved for other local treasures like the APEX museum and the Hammonds House. You simply cannot talk about anyone in the Atlanta music scene that didn't walk in the door - and out a little wiser. (Images - VPress)
