- David Boykin’s Soul Sessions in Chicago every Sunday from 2:00-5:00 at the Arts Incubator on 55th and Garfield (at Green Line),
- MacArthur Genius Grant-winning photographer Carrie Mae Weems and her current solo exhibit at the Guggenheim in New York City,
- Current reprise of Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun starring Denzel Washington on Broadway (and as he plays Walter Lee Younger he lives in Harlem, where I saw him at Minton’s Playhouse and he graciously hugged/wished me one of the best happy birthdays I’ve ever had!),
- My two favorite American Idols/young rockers in training/future stars Jena Irene and Caleb Johnson…
