Last night was BALKAN BEAT BOX!!!!
It was an incredible concert.
I went to E! to meet up with Yaniv, then we walked over to the El Rey, to meet up with Gal and Sharon. We got there and the only problem of the night occurred. The "bouncers" are working there on a really wonderful program, they're mentally challenged adults checking IDs if you want a "drink band". Well, I left mine at home (for some crazy stupid reason) and these guys are TOUGH! So, needless to say, I didn't get a drink band and I looked like the only 19 year old in the place, but it's fine with me. Yaniv got me a drink, and I was undercover sista' while I drank that, but that was one concert I WAS NOT GETTING KICKED OUT OF for "underage" drinking.
So, then the opening band came on. They're called Deleon, out of New York. They're really great for an opening band. I say that with all the respect, they're just not as polished yet as BBB, but still, they're good, so it's a good sign.
Anyway, so between sets, Yaniv made an observation that not many people at the concert were Israeli, and that it seemed odd, only because every other concert of theirs has mostly been filled with Israelis (but not they're getting bigger so I understand why there are "others" there) So I asked the two girls next to me how they heard about BBB, I asked "are you Israeli?"
"No" they said "we're Serbian". "SHUT UP, SO AM I!!" I screamed. We were all instant best friends. They invited me to Serb Fest in San Diego and told me about all the dance groups in LA that I should join. Well, it was just so nice.
Here are some visual candies for you. More to come (from a real camera haha)
