CASE
DISMISSED!
Not Guilty! That was the plea and on April
14th, Evil E. was dismissed of all charges in Bronx
County Criminal Court. Now, what about CrazyKelvin?
Well it went like this:
The court time was set for 9:30am, so I
got on the Long Island train at 7:17am. Everything was
going pretty good. Evil E. called me and told me that
I should get off at Jamaica Station and meet up with
him so we could travel together. I told him that I already
paid the fare to take me to Pennsylvania Station in
Manhattan, so we will have to meet up in the Bronx.
When I got to Penn Station, I took the E Train and planned
to get off at Lexington/51st Station so I can transfer
to a 4 Train. Just one more stop before I get to where
I'm supposed to transfer, the train conductor person
comes on the public address system and says that this
E train will NOT be stopping at Lexington/51st station
between the hours of 7:30am and 9:30am.
WHAT!??!?!?!?!?! That's when I need to be there!!!!!
So I had to get off one stop early and think how am
I going to find my way around to the 4 Train. After
getting lost on the system and going around in circles,
I finally got to a 4 Train an hour later. By the time
I reached the courthouse, it was about 9:30am. There
was this huge
line up of people waiting to pass the security
check. You think that this was the airport or something.
So after 20 minutes in line, I get through security
and then ask the first court officer I see where courtroom
"AR2" is located. He then says,
"Oh, that court is on the other
side of the street..."
WHAT?!?!?!?!?!??! Noooooooooooooo!!!
I wasted all that time and I was at the wrong court
house?!?! Ohmygosh... I'm soooo finished!!! There might
already be a warrant for my arrest now since I didn't
even make it to court!!
So I run across the street and go to where
the next courthouse is. I see that there is even a bigger
line outside of people waiting to get in!! So I get
in line. I have no choice. 25 minutes later, I finally
get in. After going past the security check, I ask the
court officer what are my realistic chances for making
a 9:30am court time? He tells me in a robotic tone of
voice:
"I understand that the judge
cannot see everyone today, so please go to room M-28
to reschedule."
Reschedule?!?! For what??!? I don't wanna
come back! If the judge can see me today, I'll wait!
So I go directly to my assigned courtroom of "AR2".
When I get there, I see there is this huge line of people
outside. Amongst the huge line, I see Eric! He was there
waiting all the time too to get in. He tells me to hand
my D.A.T. (Desk Appearance Ticket) to the court officer
at the front of the line. I go and do that. The time
is ticking away. I have never seen such an unorganised
court system in my life! They schedule like 100 people
to be at court for a 9:30am appointment!! Of course
only a percentage of people will be seen today... and
what about the others who took off work or something
to be here? They will have to reschedule for another
court date. I met a lady in line who has rescheduled
like 4 times and has never seen a judge yet!
Even when I was living in Miami and went
to traffic court, if you had a case, your name was assigned
to a particular time. Much more organised than the crap
up here in New York. So the court officer calls out
Eric's name. Him and I have the same case number, so
I try to go in the same time. The court officer keeps
me from going in with him and he sees the judge alone.
I knew that if I didn't see the judge now, they were
gonna make me reschedule for another time. I wanted
to avoid the extra paperwork and taxpayers time/money
if I just see the judge NOW. They didn't want to hear
it. Eventually, a court officer returned my DAT and
told me to go to room M-28 and reschedule my court date.
I waited for Eric outside to tell him that
I won't be in court today, when he came out, he told
me that the judge dismissed the case! Well, his case.
I still have to see a judge because they are trying
us seperately. Next court date, May 5! Keep posted for
the story....
cK Makes Appearance In Miami
One of the main reasons that I haven't updated
as frequently as I could have been, was because I was
back in Florida visiting family and surprising my friend,
Liza on her birthday.
It was really great to see the whole Miami Family once
again. (Kevin, Chris, Jolene, Sarah, Marlon, Linette,
Brian, Ali) Everytime I come back, its just crazy! So
much partying, so many clubs to go to... ahhhh.... its
nice being young.
Well, that wasn't the case for Liza as we all held a
surprise birthday party for her at Club
Deep in South Beach. She turned 22.
We partied the night away and then more. Needless to
say, her breath was taken away when she saw me. She
had no idea there was going to be a party for her, and
that cK would be there! It was definitely one of those
moments.
The next day was supposed to be a beach
day for me. I didn't get to do that because the entire
day it rained in Miami. That really messed up my plans.
So I had to wait for the night for any fun. In the evening
I took out Liza for a birthday dinner at one of my favourite
places to eat in Miami. Its at the Marriott Hotel on
Biscayne Bay. I used to take everyone that visited me
to there. Very subtle, and reserved. I met my friend,
Yoly who works there. She was the first
person I met when I came there and is the reason I have
come back ever since.
Before we left, I asked for some dessert.
Possibly an ice cream for Liza. Yoly went the extra
mile and got a huge banana split sundae with a candle
in it. The entire restaurant sang Happy Birthday to
Liza. It was sooo cool and I can't thank the staff at
the Biscayne Bay Marriott enough.
After eating, I took Liza to my old building
where there is a Jazz Lounge at the bottom called "Sax
On the Beach". It's a great place to chill out.
So Liza and I had some drinks, and met this lady named,
Randi. She obviously had some drinks
before us and was very captivated by my hair. She wouldn't
stop pulling it and touching it. She was asking if Liza
and I were models or something, but we denied it. Well,
Randi told me that she'd take my resume and see if she
could find me a job at her company. We left later and
headed out to the South Beach strip.
I took Liza to a very low-key place called
TANTRA.
Its a hidden club on Pennsylvania Avenue. I paid $20
to get in, but if I knew I was coming there before, I would have gotten reservations
and spent like $5. Oh well. We got in there and immediately
asked the bartender if he had HPNOTIQ. They said they
didn't. So we had to settle for Hennessey and Coke.
I didn't want it, but oh well...
Liza and I grooved to the the trance music
they played as a live electronic drummer accompanied
the mesmorizing vibes. The club was getting empty so
Liza and I decided to hop to another club. We walked
up the very busy Washington Avenue and stumbled across
a place called KRAVE.
The time was like 3am. I asked the bouncer what time
was the club closing and how much to get in? In his
dark sunglasses he told me that the club closes at 4:45am
and its $20 for ladies and $30 for gentlemen. I looked
and Liza and said that its pointless to pay $50 for
one hour and a half of dancing. So just as we were about
to leave, another guy from behind him rushes to us and
gives us 2 free tickets to go in. That was REAL cool.
So we got in. The place was banging! DJ KHALEED was
playing live! It was mostly hip hop/rnb playing in there
as we again persisted for HPNOTIQ. The bar said they
didn't have it. So I asked the bar dude, "What can I
get like it?" He told me to wait while he conjured something
up. So 3 minutes later, he gives me 2 orange looking
drinks. I taste it and it was almost close to the HPNOTIQ
flavour! It was good! I asked him what was the drink
called? He told me it was called a "Montgomery
Muthaf***er".
Shortly after dancing a little, the night
drew to a close... I had a blast with Liza and hope
that I made her birthday special.
