Haiti Service Project: NBA All-Star Game & Jay-Z Tour Stop Tickets
In light of the tragic earthquake and resulting and ongoing devastation in Haiti, I’ve decided to give up my personal tickets for the 2010 NBA All-Star game and tickets to the Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 tour stop in Houston to help raise money.
I’ve created the website TicketsForHaiti.com, which will host the relief effort. The site is linked to two separate eBay auctions for each set of tickets. Proceeds from the two sets of tickets will be donated to two of the various relief organizations.
The All-Star game package includes two tickets to the game on February 14th at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, hotel accommodations, motor-coach transportation to the game, stadium tour, photo opportunities and NBA souvenirs. The Jay-Z package includes two tickets to the Blueprint 3 tour stop on February 22nd at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.
Package details and other specifics can be found at TicketsForHaiti.com.

On The Go: B.O.B. aka Bobby Ray
I recently had the opportunity to photo document B.O.B. (aka Bobby Ray) while on his Austin tour stop with Asher Roth, Kid Cud. Normally for a project like this, I would include more behind the scene images, however B.O.B.’s set was so energetic I had to share extra performance images.
I have witnessed a number of B.O.B.’s shows and while each one has been impressive, they keep getting better. One word I would use to accurately describe a performance is passionate.

I recently had to opportunity to take part in the 2009 South by South West music festival. SXSW is one of the largest music festivals in the world. Thousands of artists, groups and supporters of various music types migrate to Austin each spring to take part. The Hip-Hop aspect of the 2009 festival was the largest its ever been. Below is a link to photo documentation of some of the Hip-Hop happenings that took place as seen by myself.
Featured artists for this project include Bun B, B.O.B. aka Bobby Ray, Mistah Fab, Big Boi, Janell Monae, Balance and Asher Roth.

B.O.B. aka Bobby Ray Rocked SXSW 2009 Showcase
B.O.B. aka Bobby Ray was in town a few weeks ago for SXSW. He performed a total of six times throughout the week. Below you can watch his main SXSW Showcase at the Austin Music Hall. I had the opportunity to meet B.O.B. and his team a while back and immediately became a fan of what they are doing. As you can see in the video, he isn’t lacking passion.
Be sure to also check out his drummer “Alien”, in the footage. Another talented individual.
