DO YOU REMEMBER WATCHING TELEVISION AND YOU SEE A HURRICANE AND ON THE OUTSIDE ITS ALL CALM, BUT ON THE INSIDE THERE IS SO MANY ACTIVITIES? WELL, THAT’S WHAT THE CONVENTION CENTER IN NEW ORLEANS LOOKED LIKE TODAY. IT STARTED OUT LIKE ANOTHER DAY, BUT BY THE END IT WAS NOTHING LIKE IT. YOU CAN PICK A NUMBER AND TIMES IT BY TWO AND THAT WOULDN’T BE HALF OF THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT WAS THERE. AS, WE WERE WALKING THROUGH THE CROWDS CELEBRITIES COULD BE SPOTTED IN EVERY CORNER. WELL, WE WERE WALKING… WELL TRYING TO WALK PEOPLE WAS JUST STANDING AT A STAND STILL. IT WAS THE MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. PARADE IN MIAMI, FLORIDA. THE LINE TO SEE IDRIS ELBA WAS SO LONG THAT YOU WERENT ABLE TO WALK BY THE AREA HE WOULD BE AT. THERE WAS SO MANY PEOPLE STANDING AROUND TO SEE HIM AND IT TOOK FOREVER. HE (IDRIS) WALKED RIGHT PASSED ME AND I COULDN’T EVEN MOVE.. LOL. I JUST STOOD THERE WITH NO EMOTION ON MY FACE. I CAN’T EVEN SAY “HEY”. THE FIRST 150 PEOPLE THERE WERE ABLE TO SIT DOWN INSIDE THE BLOCKED OFF AREA. TEN OF THEM WERE ABLE TO TAKE A PICTURE WITH HIM. OH YEAH DID WE TELL YOU THAT QUEEN LATIFAH WAS THERE AGAIN? WELL, SORRY BUT SHE WAS THERE AGAIN TODAY AND SHE LOOKED FAWLESS. TOMORROW IS THE LAST DAY OF THE FESTIVAL, BUT WE WOULD KEEP YOU INFORMED.
