MARGINAL PROPHETS WIN!!
okay..i didn’t think anyone read this blog, but my evil twin sis left a message on my answering machine telling me to post about our big win last week.
we won the 2004 california music award for outstanding rap album. we beat out HUGE rappers e-40, ice cube’s westside connection, too short, paris and aceyalone.
the event was amazing. it was held in front of oakland city hall. we shared a dressing room with metal band, tesla. lots of hair, beer and boobies.
we performed a coupla songs off our award-winning album, “bohemian rap cd” (whaddaya mean, you don’t have it yet?!!).. the oakland tribune called our set the “performance of the day”.
it was a great win and we’d like to thank everyone who voted, and everyone who got their friends and peeps to vote.

*letter of the week:
Hey Keef,
>>
>> First off, lemme just say that I really love your strip. I don’t always fully agree with you on
>>all matters (for one thing I really enjoyed ‘Kill Bill Vol. 1’) but you’re damn funny, and that’s
>>what I look for in my cartoons.
>> That having been said, I have a little news tidbit for you that you might be interested in – it
>>didn’t get any national attention, but it’s pretty interesting nonetheless. I’m an ex-student at
>>Antioch University in Yellow Springs, Ohio. This is one of those very proactive liberal arts schools
>>that have very very active minority factions – there’s a women’s center, plenty of gay rights stuff,
>>etc., etc.
>> Well, anyway, one day in early April, a small group of black students wearing white masks with
>>black circles around the eyes and mouth (the exact polar opposite of ‘minstrel’ make-up) broke up a
>>meeting of the faculty, screaming that all white people were racist a-holes who were screwing them
>>over, and that, essentially, everything bad that happened to black students on campus was all their
>>fault. This was only the start of a lot more unpleasant things of this nature. It wasn’t very nice.
>> It got worse, though. Someone leaked this story to the local media, and it got on Ohio TV. Guess
>>who saw it? The local branch of the Klu Klux Klan, who scattered racist pamphlets all over town and
>>campus, and announced their intentions to hold a big march in Yellow Springs on the seventeenth.
>> Needless to say, nobody was at all pleased about this. The mayor urged everybody to stay indoors
>>until the march was over. People were panicking. The cops put snipers on the roofs in case things
>>got out of hand.
>> Guess what happened? After all the hype and panic, about ten KKK members showed up. They marched
>>up and down main street for a little while, until they were driven off by tourists. Yep, tourists.
>>See, it turns out that Yellow Springs citizens are very obedient, and so the only people out of
>>doors were some out-of-towners who got understandably pissed by the KKK, and chased their raggedy
>>asses right out of town. Nothing has been seen of them since.
>> Anyway. Don’t know whether you’re interested in this or not – it did happen a little while ago,
>>after all – but I thought it might make a pretty funny cartoon. Racism on both sides, big drama,
>>people afraid to stick their noses out of doors, the big bad bullies march into town – and they
>>promptly get their rears kicked by some friggin’ sightseers. I thought it made for a terrific news
>>story, and was amazed that it didn’t get any national coverage. Maybe you could do something with
>>it?
