Putting in Work at The City Market

This past Thursday, I volunteered for the final City Market of the year.  The city market was started back in the spring and runs through the summer into early fall.  It's usually held from 5-9:00PM in the downtown railyard (now converted into a paid parking lot).  There are a lot of vendors and local businesses that sign up to advertise and sell their brand.  Another part of the market of course... is FOOD.  There are catering companies and restaurants that come out and provide tapas side samplers and drinks. The currency for the food market is tickets and they cost $3 a pop. 

Eku Ojobi! A Very Nigerian Birthday

I was invited to the birthday party of the mother of a former coworker.  Here's the kicker, it's a Nigerian party. I hear so much about international parties and weddings and now I finally get to experience another one.  I attended a Somali reception back in December and enjoyed it so I knew I was definitely going to take full advantage.
