Tuesday at Rehearsal
Private location

Familiar Faces
When I arrived, again everyone was in the parking lot - Donnell, Doc (sitting on his bass case), Jacques, Mike, Duane Face, and Smoke (I think). Donnell played the CD of Saturday's performance - playing the parts where Doug E. Fresh performed. He said that Doug E Fresh meant to sit back and chill. "I prostituted myself to get him to perform. I acted as if he is my baby daddy." Halima walked up with her tea in a jar. Mike said, "That's a concoction." She said it was a miracle whip jar that she put the tea bag with water in the jar and let it sit in the sun. Donnell started to tell a story about how James Funk invited Mike to dance at his house. Mike stopped him, saying "Everyone's heard that story, Funk cracked on everyone except" he named a few names, one of them Mark Lawson, who arrived immediately after Mike said his name. BJ then arrived and then Nephew and Dwayne. Then DP arrived with his sons and we went inside - they woke up Stomp who was sleeping in his car.

They talked about Sunday's performance as we walked in. They were impressed with Publicity's vocal harmony. Doc especially said their transitions were perfect. They were impressed enough that James was there - I've never seen him a rehearsal before.

However, before everyone could set up, Donnell called them into a meeting. I waited around for a bit. Scotty Beats came by to drop off the CD of the live recording. After Dwayne and BJ walked out of the meeting, I left.
