Blue Form

Ever wondered what to do if you are involved in a fender bender or vehicle accident where no one but the vehicle is injured. Well, WhoUFeelin experienced it first hand, this morning while waiting on the green light at the corner of Oltrof & I-35 Northbound. Sitting in my car I was rear ended only to see the car high tailing it into another lane. Thank God! I wasn't hurt or pushed into another lane. Well, here it is the blue form http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/ftp/forms/st-2.pdf, which includes the information you will need to get from the other driver that hit you. You can call 911 to dispatch a police officer or take matters into your own hands and exchange information, go to any police station to pick up the blue form and submit it. In all, it was a very frightening experience and I am still in a bit in shock and paranoia, but I wanted WhoUFeelin readers to be aware that the blue form is your source of documentation when involved in a driver's accident.

Random Pics

Dolemic reppin S.W.A.T Productions, www.swatproductmusic.com/ a Rob G affiliate. You can find Dolemic at www.myspace.com/dolemicsultanofdaswat.
Dolemic first caught WhoUFeelin's attention with "Shooter", though some of his lyrics refer to women in a negative demeanor. Remember ladies, you set the standards, so don't be so quick to give it up. Dolemic has a unique voice, just like his swagger. The best of luck to him and his endeavours.

JT Coldfire



was playing a gig at Friends this past Sunday, while WhoUFeelin was enjoying the Pecan Street Festival. From the pictures below, JT and his band can pack a crowd. He's the next Stevie Ray Vaughn of Austin and his bassist is pretty bad ass. You're wondering why hasn't Austin embraced him more, well, it will only be a matter of time. So check JT Coldfire and his band out for yourself. They play every Sunday night at Maggie Mae's.

Ladies Go Crazy

Latin hit banger Armando Perez aka Pitbull, Mr. 305 was in the ATX this past Friday, Sept. 19, 2008 at Paradox night club as headliner for the Hot 93.3 Superstar Showcase.



With a live band set, Pitbull gave an A-list performance, giving the crowd their money's worth.
A blue eyed Cuban, Pitbull, breeds fresh air into the music charts. Often quoted as "Too Latino for HipHop, and too HipHop for Latino". As an artist, I don't think Pitbull cares to fit into a particular genre. As an A-list, performer, Pitbull, is in the industry to a make good music, sell some records, expand his audiences perception, and give the crowd their money's worth. Catching him live at the show there wasn't just one favorite, they were all favorites. Especially "Get Crazy", which most of the ladies in the building got once he entered VIP, signing autographs, blowing kisses, and taking time to take pictures.


* Farnsworth Bentley was in the city this past weekend. Though, WhoUFeelin didn't get the chance to get up close and personal; shout out to Farnsworth for visiting and partying with Austin, Texas.

Movies On the Radar


WhoUFeelin rented Cocaine Cowboys II: Hustlin with the Godmother presented by Magnolia Films. The documentary of Charles Cosby & Griselda Blanco kept it REAL. Narrated by Charles Cosby and other men in Griselda Blanco's life, it's not fair that the audience only gets a male's perspective but you can relate as a scorn woman that's been betrayed. Loyalty before royalty is definitely a code to respect. It is a story of heart ache, pride, and trickery not to be glamorized but told. If you would like to get schooled and enjoy narrations, put it on your list of movies to rent, but please be advised, keep the children in the other room. Charles holds no bar in speaking profanities and Keepin it Real. Also here is a list of two other films worthy of WhoUFeelin mention brought to viewer audiences by Magnolia Films. http://www.biggerstrongerfastermovie.com/ , and http://www.quidproquofilm.com/ , Enjoy.

Random Ridiculousness

This piece is more for venting purposes of social injustices observed while walking and attending some venues downtown this weekend. First off, can someone explain the following picture to me?
There are five bike police officers chatting, an obviously drunk man sitting on the sidewalk with handcuffs on, and three police officers mounted on horses. Hello! do you think someone out of all the police officers standing around would be able to escort the man in handcuffs away, or is it that they want to publicly humiliate him? If that was the reasoning for leaving him in plain sight while the police officers stood around and conversed, mission accomplished.

The security at Paradox night club got a little of out of line putting patrons in choke holds as a means to restrain. Do you really think cutting the air supply of an already inebriated person is going to help the situation? It might escalate into a civil litigation lawsuit when the person in the choke hold loses consciousness and possibly dies. Do you really want liability? I suggest rethinking your technique for restraint and OUTLAW the choke hold.

Meet the Greens



Reported by Hedi Zhou with News 8 Austin 9/20/08,

http://www.news8austin.com/content/top_stories/default.asp?ArID=220223

The Greens are currently staying at the Austin Convention Center as survivors of Hurricane Katrina and Ike. WhoUFeelin felt it necessary to re post this story because Mr. Green spoke the very thoughts that many often think but dare not say out of fear of sounding inhumane. Mr. Green reaffirmed that sometimes tragedy hits when you least expect and depending on how quick you are able to recover, if in fact you ever do, your relevance in social class starts to be questioned and noticed. Two weeks ago the Green's were rebuilding their lives after surviving Hurricane Katrina, now they are again rebuilding their lives here in Austin, TX.

Kudos to News 8 Austin for interviewing the Greens and as a note of reference, News 8 Austin will be covering the ACL festival this year, so tune in.

Hot 93.3 Listener Appreciation

From the lineup to the audience participation, Hot 93.3 got it crunk up at Antone's this past Thursday, Sept. 18, 2008. Paula DeAnda captured stage presence getting the party started and the ladies in the crowd to sing along with her hit single "Easy". Shout out, to her DJ, Chris.

It was a proud moment for WhoUFeelin to get the chance to shake hands and meet Glasses Malone. Haterz, by Glasses Malone stays in heavy rotation on WhoUFeelin's mp3 player, besides anticipating a collaboration with Rob G.

Glasses Malone showed lub to the ATX bringing Pimpin Pen to the stage with him and my girl, Raquel Raquel, as eye candy for the crowd. Glasses Malone is who you should be feeling the next time you call to request a song at your local radio station.

Big Gemini blew the audience away with his energy and that was after Lil Rob performed.

Baby Bash closed down the show without any disappointments. Thank you, Hot 93.3 for staging a great lineup and for allowing WhoUFeelin to be a part of that.

Common AfterParty


From Myspace busybody to 912 Red River Austin, TX, WhoUFeelin was on the scene to catch a glimpse of who was in attendance for the official Common after-party at Mohawk. Many local Dj's (Rapid Ric, Mike Swing, Chicken George), MC(Bavu Blakes, Crew 54), event promoters (BRMG), Matt Sonzala http://www.austinsurreal.com/, photographers (AList) http://www.austin360.com/ and celebrity performer, himself, Common were in attendance. It was a great party with a good turnout. Seeing friends from the past and hopefully future. Ladies were on the dance floor feeling the DJ and Common was in clear view with his crew, drink in hand and smile while he swayed to the beat of the tracks spinning by the DJ. The theme was "Keep It Local".
Mohawk located at 912 Red River is definitely a great venue for a party, www.mohawkaustin.com/events . Along WhoUFeelin's venture from Iron Cactus for some frozen margaritas priced at $7.50 a glass, WhoUFeelin found a new spot to kick it, Mail Box, right next to Spiro's. The lounge was inviting with two pool tables, a fairly large dance floor with mirrors to see yourself, a fully stocked bar, patron counters with bar stools to lean on, and most obviously, its something new to try. Mail Box is officially in business just two weeks open, check it out for yourself. Many locals forget to venture over to Red River with the congestion of the Salvation Army and homeless shelters so close by and the goth punk themed bars that align the alleys but Red River has a few well kept secret promoters that throw great parties with backyard ambiance.
