May the 40/40 Force be With You... Always

Hey all you Star Wars fans out there, I have an interesting story to share. So, Friday night I was invited to a surprise birthday party for producer Just Blaze at Jay-Z's New York City 40/40 Club. Just Blaze happens to be THE most fanatical Star Wars fan I've ever met (no he doesn't wait in line for a month for the movie debuts, but he has all the figures, all the arcade size old video games, everything.) A lot of the attendees were given costumes when we got there. I got one of the Darth Vader masks, complete with heavy breathing sounds. My friend Ryan got to be the full on Storm Trooper (I was jealous), David got a Boba Fett outfit that was way to small for him, and Sickamore got to be Jar Jar Binks. Jay-Z (though not in costume) was in on the ruse. Just Blaze was suppose to go to the club for a meeting with Jay-Z, but the look on Just Blaze's face when JayZ walked him into the party room was priceless. I've never seen Just Blaze so surprised in my life. Princess Amidala threw together the whole party, and she also brought Chewbacca, Yoda, Princess Leia, and a lot of the other Star Wars cast. Oh, I also got to meet newly signed Virgin rapper "Stimuli" who's album I'll be playing and mixing on this year. A great guy with a great crew. A good time was had by all!
