22nd and leaving the 23rd. I'll let you know once I know what's happening the 22nd. Hopefully we can finally connect this time.

I totally forgot about the Barber museum. How far from the airport is it, anyone know? That's a GREAT freakin' idea.

ganked could be an action taken against you. He would be the gankee and the thuglife wanna be's would be the gankers, getting ganked and is part of the realm of ganked and being ganked in general.

Nah if you get "ganked" that means that something has been stolen from you. As in;
" Dayum Dawg I don got ganked!!!"
"Wat fo?"
"My motherfucking kicks I jus' gripp'd"
"Aw hell-to-the-nah,fo real?"
"Werd!"
"Fuck dat ish,dawg! Git yo gatt 'n' get up wif me in 20. Weez' gon splash sum domes if we find dos niggas!!!"

You mean "kacked" or "wacked"...or even "jacked" although "jacked" can be used in place of "ganked" BUT not vise verse'. In my experience "jacked" literally translated means "fucked over" which can cover a wide spectrum of possibilities. While "kacked" or "wacked" specifically pertains to the taking of one's life. "Ganked" has almost always used to describe a larcenous occurrence.

i think i have heard it used that way but usually when i hear ganked it's in the context
"yo dawg, i just ganked this jawn from that twitchy eyed mothafucka down the way."

Yup, definitely the Barber Museum.

I liked Vulcan Park too. There's also a massive bike night that's run by a local radio station in a bowling alley parking lot, but I don't know if it's on this early in t he season.

That's the song. I like some of Lil Wayne's stuff. But he's a rapper....not an R&B artist which it sounds like he's trying to be in that song. The "wee-o-wee" shit grates on my nerves in the song. Grr... :skep:
