RAW FAM: 5/31/2018 Quill here once again with another entry in the life and times of Tyquill! This time we are revisiting my LA trip of summer 18!
With the 10th Anniversary of RAW Artist I just wanted to take the time to dedicate this blog to the underground arts organization. This past summer I got the chance to experience my 1st RAW Hollywood show! Me and the homie Moses arrived at the show a few hours after we touched down.
Upon arrival I was in amazed by the venue, The Boulevard3 on sunset boulevard lived up to its Hollywood hype for sure! From the beautiful door, woman, who let us in on the RAW friends and family list to the awe inspired ambiance of the showcase everything about the RAW Hollywood show lived up to its hype!
I attended the event with the intention of meeting some RAW Bigs in person, which I've always wanted to do since I started showcasing with the company. So I felt even more at ease when I ran into the guy who Discovered and introduced me to the company...Rasaq! It had to have been about 3 years since the last time I saw my RAW mentor! So the reunion was a joyous one! After catching up I then set out to meet the RAW Boss Lady Herself! Mrs. Heidi Luerra!
After spotting her from across the venue I casually approached Heidi and her husband Mr. Matthew Klahorst! Upon meeting the power couple I was greeted with a genuinely warm reception! Which made me at ease because for some reason I always felt that meeting Heidi she would be as cool as she was right then and there! After cooling with the RAW Bigs for awhile, we enjoyed the rest of the show and called it quits to get ready for part to of our RAW Weekend!
Next stop RAW film festival at the Bootleg Theatre! There I got a chance to reconnect with my Business idol Heidi in a much more quiet setting to converse more about the film and fine arts! I also met the home-based RAW LA staff who were also as dope as I imagined!
Rasaq, Big Spot Brandon Scott and some others just to name a few were holding things down exactly how I perceived them! After catching my 1st RAW Hollywood show, my 1st RAW film festival, and getting to finally meet my Business and Fine arts Idol Heidi Luerra! My LA trip was an experience I won't soon forget!
Congratulation on 10 years of success, and God blessing Heidi and Matt on their new lives together!
Keep killing it, Boss Lady! You Rock!
Sincerely, Tyquill Williams
