I miss life before COVID, especially attending live events. I’ll never forget how excited I was before our second Tekken 7 tournament “Fight Night: Round 2” which took place at Capital City Film Festival. We’d taken over the Lansing Public Media Center for the event, turning the venue into a gaming spectacle with smoke, an array of lights, a live DJ, and live performances. Hip Hop artists Ckyttles and HighTyde were on to perform their hit single “Flex”.
I invite Hood Illustrated Magazine publisher KC to all our events. He has an incredibly busy schedule, so I always ask him with no pressure or expectation. It’s more important to me for him to know he’s always welcomed. While in the Media Center lobby with HighTyde and Ckyttlez, the 3 of us set to shoot pictures with the CCFF banner, KC walked in. Excited to see him, he was quickly pulled into a picture. |THIS.
