Y-Love was to host the New Shabbat Table at the JCC, but last second for the SMF Y-Love got scooped up by the Carlebach shull. In 2008 Y-Love and dj handler will be debuting a Hip Hop Tribute to Carlebach, so the seed has been sorta planted over this past Shabbat. Unfortunately the Shemspeed staff wasn;t able to make it up tothe UWS for Shabs and so we can’t give youa full acounting, but Y-Love hits the stage at a sold out Drom SMF party tomorrow night and I’m sure there will be tons of info then. (check post Five!)
