More News from PHLI...

Kell and Becca,

I learned yesterday from Dave
Jeff that this year's PHLI Block Party has been canceled due to the sale of
Harper Court, and the city's concerns about the Block Party's size given the
amount of violence in the city this year. He was trying to get it at
Kenwood, but the local school council shared the city's concerns and said
no. Dave talks about it all in this interview that we did yesterday.



Here are the details straight from RubyHornet.com

For three years the PHLI Block Party has been a seminal event of summer time in the Windy City. Each July people of all races, ages, and neighborhoods have gathered in Hyde Park's Harper Court for a day of music, food, and fashion. With a performance history boasting the likes of Rhymefest, Peedi Crak, GLC, Kanye West, Keith Murray, and Just Blaze, this year's PHLI Block party was the most anticipated to date. However, due to neighborhood politics, a sale of Harper Court, and the violence seen in Chicago this year, the PHLI Party has been left with nowhere to go, and has been canceled, much to the disappointment of Dave Jeff and people throughout the city.

Dave Jeff broke the news to RubyHornet first, and tells the whole story in this interview with Roosevelt Treasurechest. Dave also speaks on PHLI's future home given the University of Chicago's plans for Harper Court, as well as the full spectrum of the PHLI Brand.

and here's the words right from Dave Jeff himself.
