Cadence Weapon and Born Ruffians threw the equivalent of an intimate house party Monday night at Rhythm Room. And I was there to document it – with the inferior camera on my BlackBerry Pearl.

Hats seemed to be the theme: Cadence rocked a straw hat from New Mexico and his DJ, Weez-l, was sporting a coonskin cap. (Toto, we’re not in Edmonton any more.)

Born Ruffians were fantastic, from what I saw. Cadence and I spent part of their set discussing the NBA – specifically the Suns’ chances with Shaquille O’Neal (he thinks they’ll be OK, by the way).
