Hood Illustrated Magazine publisher KC and I shared a table at the Afterglow Market at Rotary Park in downtown Lansing, MI, and we had a great time doing it! The two of us promoted and handed out copies of the #1 independent Hip Hop magazine while also inviting people to visit THISENT.com. We met people who enjoyed our work, and they complimented us both for our years of quality content.

When we weren’t at our table, we were enjoying all the other great business owners and their products, especially the ones we could eat and drink. We had refreshing drinks from MI Drinks Co (thanks for the recommendation, Y’z Council), delicious smoothies from Smoothie Queen, and an incredible Peruvian chicken dish from Tantay Lansing. We ended the experience by eating Pink Lemonade Cheesecake from Mr. Leslie’s Cheesecakes while listening to live music (YES!!!) by band The Corzo Effect. |THIS.
