Hip Hop Congress

Weekly Update o6.14.o6

NATIONAL CONFERENCE:
Join us in Boulder for our 5th Annual Hip Hop Congress National Conference. There will be workshops, performances, networking opportunities, and many good times. Hit www.hiphopcongress.com for more information. We look forward to seeing you there. If you have questions, email Shamako@hiphopcongress.com

CHICAGO CHAPTER:
Chicago will be repping hard at the Conference this year with about a dozen people heading out to Boulder from this area. Everyone is excited to attend! We have also been hard at work finalizing details with the National Hip Hop Political Convention. Everyone will probably get an update on that when we see you.

Until then, PEACE!

SEATTLE UNIVERSITY:
We ended things the right way: our 1st Annual 5 on 5 Bboy/Bgirl Competition entitled “Hit the Breaks, Bring the Steeze”!! We had approx. 400 people show up with 6 crews competing on a Sunday Afternoon. We had performances by local beatbox duo Brothas Grimm and Life the Guardian. Even with technical difficulties, the performances were dope! Best day for HipHopCongress and although we received funding from the school, this event was completely planned by us: Hip Hop Congress Seattle U Chapter. I must say it’s nice being the first chapter in the state of Washington because you can do whatever you want!! It was truly amazing watching history in the making: this is the first time Seattle University has ever had a breakdancing competition on campus, Best believe that!! Thanks for letting us finally become a chapter, and we hope to do some amazing things next year!

WILLAMETTE:
The Willamette Chapter of the Hip Hop Congress is going to have to be absent at the conference! This is not by choice, but is what has happened. I am working 60 hours a week, and my boys are either in Germany (World Cup), or Greece (spoiled Willamette kids), or broke kickin it in Seattle (Thats me and Tristan) Damn lost some money on this trip….

To let you know what we have been up to, go to http://influx.uoregon.edu/2006/ and check out the article on pg. 40. Thats how we do! Casper the Friendly White Honkey in effect!

Much love to the whole HHC crew, and I know I will see y’all next year! If not before! We may not be reppin in Boulder, but we are always doing the Congress justice in the Northwest!

Peace,
Casper The Friendly White Honkey

Peace and Love,
