URAFIKI IS SO KODAK

WHY?
because I attended the event for the SO KODAK campaign featuring Drake, Trey Songz , Pitbull and Rihanna. Pitbull and Rihanna weren't in attendance but it was still such a wonderful night. I didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked because my camera died in the middle but ENJOY:























 Yeah, I was FRONT ROWWWW, but the media people kept getting in my way every time I tried to take a picture but its all good, plus I brought my sony camera that was about to die...never again.


and yes, THIS WAS ALL FOR FREEEE! ahh, I think that is just the icing on this wonderful cake
haha

until next time..

Finally getting back to "where ya going fridays" aka EVENTS!

A lot of people know me because of all the events that I find out about and they usually tend to be FREE, whether they are sample sales, meeting celebrites or simple art exhibits. I think its time I finally post about them on here, so that more people can know what's going on.

Berry Naice..no? ok
