3rd Lyon Ventures - Launch Party

So proud of my friends Christina Cruz & Liliana Miranda with their newest Business Journey, 3rd Lyon Ventures. They began this project last year and both have accomplished so much in such a short time.... And this is only the beginning. I was excited to attend the San Diego Launch Party for 3rd Lyon Ventures and new partners, Webceleb.

"Amazing night introducing our new media incubator to the San Diego community! We are proud to have webceleb as our first partnered venture! Visit www.webceleb.com to discover and partner with your favorite independent artists!" Liliana Miranda

A Family Affair - Mos Def Concert

Sunday Night - 05/17/09

It was a family affair at the Mos Def Concert in San Diego at the Belly Up Tavern. My cousin Lyonel was visiting from New York and it was nice to have him staying at the house with us. Nadege and Lyonel are sister and brother if you can't tell. We had so much fun at the Mos Def Concert & Our Favorite was freestyle rapper Supernatural.... He was so entertaining and he said it best "I'm the freestyle KING!" I second that Supernatural !!!!

Madcon - I'm Beggin

What Up.... I had a great time this afternoon meeting Norways most successful Rap Duo, Madcon. Their smash hit, "Beggin" has been receiving a huge buzz all over the internet and all over the world. The Norway Duo made it quite clear that although Norway may be home, San Diego has the best weather and prettiest girls. Hey what can I say, Haha....
