BAMcafe

Went to check out a show at the BAMcafe tonight with Brandon and Aunt Diane. I was definitely impressed by the space-- it's large, has a nice vibe and a diverse crowd. The music itself was just alright. We went to see a guy named Blitz Ambassador, a Ghanaian-American hip-hop artist. The samples of his latest album sounded pretty cool when we listened to them the night before, but somehow the live performance didn't seem to do him justice. We're blaming our ambivalence on what seemed to be a poor sound system. The cupcakes were perhaps the highlight of the evening. They came from Everything Frosted, a bakery on Mosco St. in Chinatown. They have a lot of your traditional flavors like red velvet and chocolate, but also some Asian-inspired flavors such as green tea, red bean, and taro. They were quite good--a nice dense cake and a light frosting, and it was just sweet enough without being too sweet. Yum!
