Boondocks' goes Bootleg on Youtube

Although fans eagerly await confirmation announcements of Season 3 of hit Cartoon Network series The Boondocks, creator Aaron McGruder announced that he would be offering fan content this week.

Titled "BoondocksBootle gs," the comic strip-turned-TV hit is offering fan favorites in a new online medium. The sketches, starring Boondocks favorites like John "Granddad" Witherspoon, Gary Anthony "Uncle Ruckus" Williams and Carl "Thugnificent" Jones, features the same hilariously profane, yet insightful comedy that McGruder is infamous for.

"So much happens between seasons that we can't comment on because the production schedule of the show is so long," explains McGruder in a press release. "These online sketches are a lot like The Boondocks comic strip in that it allows me to be topical again, which is always a lot of fun."

Q-Tip 2K Sports Bounce Tour Nov. 19 Dallas, TX

So I went to the Q-Tip concert last night and it was overall a good show. It started a little late and the 1st two acts The Knux and The Cool Kids were OK.... Now to Q-Tip, he had a 4 piece band a DJ. DJ Scratch for all of his 5-7mins put it DOWN. He did 3 tricks in those few minutes that were CRAZY! DJ Scratch is the MAN! His set was crazy, you have to get out to see him. One of my friends said he was worth the price of the ticket.(of course he's a DJ too). The keyboard player is a member of one of my favorite New York bands HEAvy. Since Q-Tip hadn't performed in Dallas in over 10 years you would have thought the show would have sold out, but it didn't. One of the reasons: The show was on the same night as a free T Mobile event at the Ghost Bar with Lil Jon as the guest DJ. You know we're in the South and FREE equaled Lil Jon.

Q-Tip started the night out with We Fight/We Love off his new album "The Renaissance" and it was off to the races with songs off the album into a tribute to J Dilla and some of the ATCQ classics. The crowd was semi-energized but you can't blame them, they were mostly all under the age of 25 which means they missed out on a lot of the of ATCQ past hits and what they represent. He ended his set with an extended version of "Getting Up". I think the Q-Tip and the band are still working out the kinks so whoever is on the last stop of this tour will get the best of Q-Tip's comeback. If you are in Austin and Houston these will be his next stops tonight and Friday. Oh yeah he didn't perform "Breath & Stop" a downer!

Will Smith hits Dallas for "Seven Pounds" Premiere and Food Bank

Will Smith hit Dallas last night to promote his new movie "Seven Pounds" and food drive for a Dallas area food bank. He presented them with a $4000 check to help with Thanksgiving dinners. It was great event for his fans, some of whom were there all day to get a good spot on the red carpet. K104, KRNB, Dalllas Stars, Tom Joyner and wife, TD Jakes and the Texas Rangers were the other celebrities in attendance. It was pretty good turnout for a cold Tuesday night. Oh I also saw Marsha from Bridezilla who was very nice much different from how she was portrayed on TV, I actually touched her and didn't get my head handed to me. She smiled and took my greeting with grace.

New Gaming Trends for iPhone & XBOX LIVE

iPhone Games: iPhone has a gaming application Topple. A mix between classic games Jenga and Tetris, Topple challenges gamers to stack and balance a family of mischievous and dimorphic shapes using multi-touch controls to slide and rotate them into position. You will also find us tilting our iPhones in intense concentration while playing another one of our favorite new applications, Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D, an adrenaline-pumping kart racing game that requires you to engage your inner speed racer as you navigate your way through various tracks and terrains, all the while battling countless opponents.



Xbox LIVE Community Games Channel: On November 19th, Xbox LIVE will launch its highly anticipated new forum for indie gamers, Community Games Channel. Allowing independent developers and DIY game designers alike to take their Xbox 360 creations public within a community space, the platform is similar to what YouTube is for filmmakers or MySpace is for musicians. Already gaining significant buzz in the gaming industry for its innovative content and seemingly endless potential, we have heard a lot of chatter surrounding UK puzzle game, Word Soup. Currently available (and quickly gaining a cult following) at pubs in the UK, the addictive and simplistic single or multiplayer word hunt game will be making its debut outside of UK pubs on the Community Games Channel

Eko-Lab

Eko-Lab
This eco-friendly collaborative label includes six designers whose designs are grounded in sustainability and community. Utilizing organic fibers, such as hemp, cotton and linen, and natural dyes, the Eko-Lab designers create a variety of sculptural looks by using the fabric like paper, folding and gathering, cutting and twisting, braiding and crocheting to make items that stray pretty far from what most think of as green garments. Their focus on community has sprouted an in-the-works project which will soon offer access to a NY-based fair-made facility where interested creatives can come to learn about crafting, dying, and screen printing.
