An evening in Seattle of local and nationwide performing artists were joined with a 2 on 2 bboy battle the first evening of November. I was excited for the event, held at the majestic Paramount Theater for many reasons. One of them being that not only was there a huge $10,000 prize for the winning crew in the battle, but because this event meant something big for the hip-hop community in Seattle.
The Massive Monkees were able to bring together not only the bboys and bgirls, but people of all ages and backgrounds who care about culture and arts. The show opened with a speech by Mayor Greg Nickels, who has been a strong supportor of the Massive Monkees and all performing arts in Seattle for many years.
Tt was a delight for me to be backstage in the hallways of the Paramount, joking and laughing in the camaraderie of the talent. It was a gathering of not only some of the most talented individuals in the business, but definitely some of the funnest! I had a blast, on and off stage, before, during, and after taking pictures.
