Lava 1 & 2's Extravaganza Graf Art Exhibit
For everybody who thought graffiti started in the early 80's, Lava AKA StraightMan is here to set the records straight, man. LAVA 1&2 (he claimed 2 so no one else could - don't even think about the URL, cause he got that too) started writing in 1970 when we wasn't taking care of business as Supreme Commander of all Captains of the Black Spades in the borough of Manhattan or creating the first Hip Hop Flyers with PHASE 2. The Black Spades went on to become Zulu Nation and Graf blew up in the 80's but a whole generation of pioneers stayed in the shadows. LAVA'a Extravaganza gives a who's who of 70's writers a chance to shine.
Lava 1 & 2 will present a multimedia presentation and short biographical film in conjunction with an art exhibit.
Special Guests: SONIC, REE, PRIZ, DOSE, INK76, CRANE, STAN, BAMA, CORNBREAD, NIC 707, CLYDE, KET, STAYHIGH149, SEN-ONE, TRACY168, MIKE171, SJK, RIFF170, FLINT707, BOM5, COCO144, JAMESTOP, SPAR, FDT56, & SELO456.
Hosted by "STRAIGHTMAN"

Brainchild of Michael Holman, this was the pilot for a television program that showcased the four elements of Hip Hop, (Breakdancing, Graffiti, Djing and Mcing). Graffiti Rock is 23 minutes of pure old school. This program's purpose was to bring the culture into people's living rooms. It was the only episode ever filmed. It was hosted by "The Most Host" Michael Holman (who also was the show's creator) and featured DJ Jimmie Jaz on the wheels of steel. Appearing as co-hosts were Kool Moe Dee and Special K of The Treacherous Three. The show was put together in a Soul Train format and included performances from The New York City Breakers, Run DMC, Kool Moe Dee, Special K. and Freestyle diva Shannon. Graf artist "Brim" Fuentes' artwork was featured on the set.
Followed by Panel Discussion.
