yaaah, mon!

i went to go see pato banton and the now generation band in berkeley because this guy from my high school plays guitar in the band. the last time i saw dan was about 12 years ago but he hasn't changed at all. well, except for his long dreads, full beard and the fact that he's in this band. sitting backstage was a trip since the whole reggae scene is new to me. talk about a movie-like experience! i was a random girl on the couch, pipe being passed around, people swigging a bottle of rum, guys with dreadlocks, someone playing the piano while another freestyles some reggae...and EVERYONE drinking red stripe.
