new york state of mind part 3
last saturday night, okayplayers von pea and spec boogie were slated to perform at the knitting factory. so we got ourselves on the press list and shot the show.
after their performance, we're wandering the club with cyren young and we hear that jean grae is in the building. jean grae is an okayplayer artist who has been on our hit list for months. naturally, we fanned out to try to find her.
a few moments pass before we run back into cyren young who had a tip that jean was in the green room.
we make our way through some of the other performers and their hangers on then spot a young woman sitting on a couch. she's got the right complexion, the right build and what looks like the right hairstyle. so we approach.
cyren young extends his hand and asks if she'd like to do an interview for the flick.
as she shakes his hand, we finally get a good view of her and realize that...it's...not...jean...grae.
whoops.
by that time it was too late, so we were fortunate that the woman in question was an aspiring musician who visits okayplayer and was willing to do an interview. she actually had some interesting things to say about the site. though we're pretty sure she didn't realize our mistake. she was also kind enough to b.s. with us for a little while after we completed the interview.
we didn't get jean grae. but we didn't look like complete fools either. that would happen later that same evening.
