334 MOBB IS FROM MONTGOMERY, AL. They are 2 blood brothers 20 and 18 sent from the GUTTA to bring real Music to the masses. They have songs with Bone Crusher, David Banner, Sammy sam,T-Rock of 3-6 Mafia and plenty more.

These Young Men have the best rap music I have ever heard in my life, its heartfelt it brings you into there world or GUTTA as they like too call it. They rap, sing and produce each song They have.
There motto is: "If you don't hustle you don't eat" And we all know if you don't eat you dont sleep. Never in time has there been a group so versatile enough to make Club songs,Crunk songs.and real songs like "So Tired" where they express there dislikes of Bush still trying to send troops to Iraq and Groups with no talent getting deals.

" Forbidden Doors "

Submitted by Frank Ashby:

Reverend Wilkins is a snake-handling preacher, who studied Gnostic theology with an emphasis on Sophia as the Female Instructing Principle, who first entered the serpent in paradise and eventually on into our intestines once we entered profane history or linear time. He began his journey believing in a non-corporeal Christ as the epitome of the light and ended up at the mercy of a dominatrix, whose unorthodox form of initiation proved to be instrumental in bringing about his discovery of the hidden sun in the Land of the Dead.

While in San Francisco, he met a man by the name of Elvin Meyers, whose prophecy changed his life forever. On the night of a total lunar eclipse, pandemonium reigned supreme and he met his demon brother, who acted as a dark Hermes figure in taking him over to Mistress Fatima, who was also a goddess of Tantric sex magick. She realized that the preacher suffered from a messianic complex and utilized Edge Play to have him experience a 'reversal of the polarities'. Once the change was complete, she had him undergo the Eleventh Degree Working as an aspect of the Backward Way or the Way of Resurgent Atavisms as he had become a passive sodomite.

The Hamptons on the Cheap or Cheap Nudity in the Hamptons

I transplanted from Denver to Soho about 3 years ago. Like everyone that comes, they eventually end up in the Hamptons for whatever summer scene there is. Being that I just started my first job here, I couldn't finance a rental (even the share with 50 other strangers for that fact). And I just can't do the 1 day thing driving or taking a train out on Saturday to come back in the evening. I meannnn people is it really worth it!? I think that you can easily do the camping thing on an almost nothing budget. Pack your tent, sleeping bag, swimming trunks and bologna sandwich. I mean I camped with bears in Colorado, how much damage could grannies in their decked out RVs, biker gangs and over enthusiastic, wennie-roasting families do? Here are the details to getting the Hamptons done cheaply. Oh, and how about getting naked in the Hamptons cheaply also.

Parenting and a Social Life in NYC - A Guide

Submitted by Rachael C.:

I am a recent new mommy of Jessica (5 months old) and am living on the Upper East Side. Why is it every NY social life site excludes those of us that have kids? Yes, some of us are passed the dating/mating phase (phew!) and onto babystrollers, but that doesn't mean giving up going out and meeting new people. I mean I am just not satisfied with Sunday brunches at Sarabeths. Alas, I have compiled a "guide" for those working (or stay at home parents) looking to meet other NY parents while spending that precious time with their baby. Here goes...

    Strollercize - I got my sleek self back through this program and met my 2 new girlfriends Liz (mommy of Danielle) and Stephanie (David's mommy).

    Tots and Tonic at Terra 47 (organic restaurant on 12th, btw Bway and University) - get togethers the 2nd Monday of each month.  Call 212- 358-0103.

    Margarita Moms - 1-800-4-stroll - many of the same crowd from Strollercize, in fact I think you can get a discount when you mention you are part of Margarita Moms.

    Rest of list...

Black Goth Gatherings in April

A little lead in story for the following April Goth/Vampire events.

One rainy Friday evening a friend of mine called me up to have a casual drink. I believe it was a holiday weekend, needless to say we were not looking to disappoint ourselves going to the usual places since everyone was either out of town or not in the mood. So we settled for a little dark place on the Upper West Side, close to where we both lived. We cosied up in a booth and ordered a couple of drinks and didn't take much notice of the crowd since our goal was to catch up and get our buzz on. Like I said it was very dark and I wasn't wearing my glasses to do my usual scan of the place.
