Common at Mixx

Hip hop recording artist Common came to Mixx on Friday. After mingling with an intimate audience for a listening session of his new cd, he came down from the third floor to the first and got down with several classic Common hits. The crowd was feeling the vibe and Common looked like he was enjoying himself, performing from the elevated sitting area and rocking his black leather jacket. He definitely gave a good 5- or 6-song set, starting with "Go!" and "The People," and highlighting the new ablum's first single "Universal Mind Control."

After the performance and a few more drinks - which we're a little weaker than I like - we hit up Lucy Blue's pizza window on 12th & Walnut (open late for all the hungry drunks!). If you haven't taken advantage of this late-night pizza czar, it's a Cincy must-have.
