Thank you so much to Nation over at Wmdeez Blog for sending over download links for the Vh1 Classic Albums: Reasonable Doubt show. Its funny because Nation mentioned that the links were for folks who actually have lives so they’re not glued to Ch.19 on a weekend…..lol!

Well, normally, my ideal life would be exactly that…sitting in front of my TV catching up on my DVR list. I finally got to watch the Top Chef finale (go Asian-Americans!…oops, late spoiler alert). But I still havent watched my 30-Rock season opener! (Dont tell me anything!)

Last night, I participated in the annual Project-by-Project Foodtasting Benefit, where all these amazing fancy restaurants in the city get together and set up booths and serve food all night, and folks auction off things like a private dinner for 12 with a celebrity chef, etc…And then various Asian-American celebs (like Iron Chef Morimoto!!, and Top Chef 1 runner-up Lee Anne Wong, and Alan Muroaka from Sesame Street : ), and my girl Sandra Endo from NY1) and pseudo-celebs like me, pair up with the chefs and sort of pretend to cook, lol…Its an amazing event, the food is insane, and all the money goes to important charities.

And tonite, I’ve got one of my college bff’s in town because her little brother Gabe somehow blew up in front of our eyes as the band leader of this group called Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings. I always knew he had his group, but I had no idea they were so huge. They played all the music for Any Winehouse’s album, Back to Black. (and some say, the Wino bit their style) They recorded with Bob Dylan for his new remake album. And tonite they’re doing a sold-out record release concert at the Apollo!?! Go Gabe!

Oh and I almost forgot….here’s what you actually care about…the links for the Reasonable Doubt show, lol….
