Last week a group of 30 Pixadores stormed the Choque Cultural Gallery in protest against the “marketing, institutionalization and domestication of Street Art” by the galleries and media. Paintings by Gerald Laing, Speto, Titi Freak and others were tagged by the Pixadores.

You know, it's kinda funny... alot of people TALK about doing things and how much they do this and that for our city, but what do they really do? I've seen pix of "our artists" and "our djs", (our meaning Houston's) in other cities partying it up and NONE of them in Houston helping with Ike relief... funny. Anyways, Got to talk with the Mayor and got to see my city come together like we're soo good at doin'.

This is footage from a phone call from Trae on Monday of this week. Aot of places weren't getting the help they needed and there are still some areas as of today that need help bad. Instead of waiting for FEMA/City to go to the areas that need the POD's, Trae wanted to get to them first. We linked up with Tiffany from Councilman Peter Brown's office and the phone calls start from there.

Here's some of that behind the scenes footage of how people make POWER PLAYS to help their city. I LOVE HOUSTON!


A Call to Help Houston from Crisco Kidd on Vimeo.


As of today, we are volunteering at a designated spot daily (Mon-Community of Faith, Tues-TSU, Wed-St. Agnes Church and today-Sharpstown Mall). We didn't know which way to help at first... A.) to do more volunteering w/FEMA PODs or B.) to help w/ debris removal from Senior's homes. We deciding to help with efforts already under way to stay more focused and organized. One highlight of all tis was when i interviewed Alberto Pillot from FEMA. About 15 minutes after, Tiffany called me and said we need PODS in Alief, 1960, and more on the Southwest. I ran down the hall, got Mr. Pillot and asked him to help us get PODS in these locations. He took my sticky tab and made the calls on the spot. A BIG THANK YOU TO HIM!

So far, Trae and ABN have done an outstanding job, Cristal Bubblin, Blaze and Party 93.3 have shown up to several POD locations and helped with efforts, Tiffany has kept me updated and in the loop with all info and now that I have my power back, I will be out at Sharpstown after I write this Blog.

Here's some pix of Trae REALLY puttin' on for his city... alot of these rappers and djs ain't doin NOTHING but taking credit for it.
