The flashing of cameras was blinding as we walked through The DL, making our way towards the Wu-Tang inspired art event that Nicole had booked us for. It was our first official press appearance after the Roach TV / NOE TV Launch Party, and we were both eager to make our mark. The dim lighting inside the venue gave an air of mystery to the colorful artwork that surrounded us. Each piece was an interpretation of the Wu-Tang Clan’s music, and the creative energy was palpable. As we made our way through the crowd, we were greeted by the smell of alcohol in the air. The bar was busy, and people were lining up for drinks. It was a scene straight out of a movie, with people dressed in their finest attire, all mingling and networking with one another. Nicole and I grabbed a couple of drinks and began to take photos of the artwork, trying to capture the essence of each piece. As I stood there, surrounded by such creativity, it was a reminder that I was on the right path, and that all of the hard work and sacrifices that I had made were starting to pay off. As the night wore on, the crowd began to thin out, and Nicole and I found ourselves deep in conversation with some of the artists. We talked about the inspiration behind their work, the Wu-Tang Clan, and the creative process. It was inspiring to hear about the passion that drove these artists to create, and it made me even more determined to push forward with my own creative endeavors. But with my personal life in shambles, it was extremely difficult to keep a poker face on, as just across the Williamsburg Bridge was Brenna, who surely would be a dominant thought on my mind.
