CMJ Music Documentary After Parties
During CMJ I shot two after parties for music documentary screenings at Mondrian SoHo’s club Mr. H. On Wednesday I shot the a after party for “Fix: The Ministry Movie” and on Thursday I did the afters for “Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels Of A Tribe Called Quest”. I was a huge fan of Ministry when I was like 12 and a big Tribe fan for a long damn time. I am pretty sure I own like 7 of their albums.
On Wednesday Paul Barker from Ministry was going to DJ but he was missing some gear or something so that didn’t happen. He still hung out and I got to say what’s up and take some pictures. On Thursday Questlove DJ’d and Beats, Rhymes & Life director Michael Rapaport showed up. Pharrell Williams who was interviewed in the documentary was also hanging out. I think I have now run into Pharrell three times in the last 10 months and this is the first time he let me take his picture. I am a pretty big fan of both Pharrell and Michael Rapaport. Pharrell’s from my home state of VA and Rapaport has a fucking Bad Brains tattoo which I tried to get a picture of but he had it covered with makeup for work.
Both parties were fun and everyone washed down the good hangs with free Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum and everything was right with the world. Keep up the PMA y’all.
