NAS the rap guy

I have a relatively surprising life.

Friday night I went to drink with my new best friend and some of her friends. That rapper NAS, as in the worldwide famous rap guy, was in Brisbane. We ended up getting on the door, which is awesome because tickets were $100+. They came to pick me up when Straker gets a phone call from his friend that listed us on the door, saying that 'NAS is demanding a heater, he won't go on stage until someone brings him a heater'.

We're like 'shit. Where the fuck do you get a heater from at 9 o'clock on a Friday?'. New best friend has one lying about at her place, so we go to collect it and rush to take it to NAS, who by the way, for a 'gangsta' shouldn't need a heater in Brisbane on an October night. Its like 25 degrees out. So we rush to take NAS the heater and drive down the one way road that Tivoli is on. Bring Nas the heater (who is surrounded by a gaggle of real life hoes and stretch hummers) and return to the car, who new best friend is now driving the wrong way down a one way street. So, she makes the turn, thats one situation rectified. We're halfway back when we get a call from the tour manager 'Dude, this is a fan.'

So, we pretty much let NAS down.

In conclusion, I have been really good at meeting rappers lately. With Phrase and Drapht and those other rappers from Sounds of Spring. Unintentional groupie friend.
