I was unable to dodge a round of photos much to my dismay (I wasn't having a good hair day) but who's gonna argue with Big Syke when he demands that you to get in the picture? Big Syke's new album "Big Syke Daddy" is in stores now.

The CaliComm 2001 Tour stopped through Seattle on Monday night at the Showbox Theater for a wall-to-wall-packed-in-no-elbow-room-hands-in-the-air crowd.

The Pharcyde took the stage with their band for an energetic set, followed by a rousing performance by the 'Cyde and Souls Of Mischief for a taste of their new Mighty Pythons project.
