So, this is my Players Ball story, and it just so happens to coincide with the picture.
The year was 2005, the place, Las Vegas. This was to be my first Vegas Players Ball. I had the hookup to go to the
warmup party sponsored by Alternative Cash and was feeling okay by the time we headed over to the venue (which I won't mention as I don't want to spoil any contests). There was a slight delay getting in, but as I was packing 3 Players Cards, my wait was minimal.
Once inside I got the ultimate hookup, when JFK handed me and Mrs JFK each an Artists Pass. To explain what that is, there were two levels of passes available: the VIP (that everyone had) and another for the sponsors that got you up to the suites. The Artist Pass got me anywhere I wanted to go, including the artist's suites. Serious
Okay, I will be honest, I wouldn't have known these guys were anyone if I hadn't accidently figured out where I was. They just figured if I had the pass, that was
enough for them.
So, I see these two guys and I raise my camera to take their picture, when one guy stepped away, and said, "take his picture." I did.
He then asked to see it. When I showed it to him, he looks over at Yukmouth and says, "That's an album cover there."
He then asked me to take their picture together.
I had a great time.
