SFNY • PLANIT BROOKLYN
SFNY Q&A with hosts PlanIt Brooklyn (Sallome & Ashley)
When was the last time you were in SF/NY? Why were you there and what did you do?
S The last time I was in SF I went to Alcatraz for the Native Sunrise Ceremony during Thanksgiving.
A The last time I was in SF was end of Dec 2009/beginning of 2010. I usually go back around that time to celebrate my birthday, the holidays and bring in the New Year with my family. I did everything - went to all my favorite restaurants, visited the Brooklyn Circus store, checked out the renovated museums, hiked Muir Woods, made 7am conference calls with people back east and spent some time by the beach.
People in SF often think about moving to NY. People in NY often think about moving to SF. Why?
S People think about living on opposite coasts for very different reasons. SF for school (Stanford, UC Berkeley), work (Silicon Valley or community/youth organizing) or peace - city life with forests & oceans close by.
A First and foremost, its a city by the bay. SF thrives with culture, diversity and sustainable living. Not only does it have the best chefs in the nations (which means 4 to 5 star restaurants), the best Chinatown in the country...and an eco-friendly mentality, but also has the best burritos and taco trucks too!
SFNY is happening in the fall in NY. In your opinion, what's the perfect track for this time and place?
S Blitz The Ambassador "Remembering The Future"
A Marlena Shaw "California Soul"
It's the beginning of the party, name a song you would play…it's the height of the party, name a song you would play.
S An upbeat track by Goapele or Foreign Exchange...Jay-Z's remake of "Blow the Whistle"
A A Tribe Called Quest "Can I Kick It?"...Bell Biv Devoe "Poison"
What are you looking forward to this Fall?
S Besides SFNY?!... To shed unproductive habits and behavior, as the trees do.
A Besides watching the seasons change, I look forward to Fall-ing in love with my life all over again - the people, the projects, the prayers.
