Isaac Hayes's concert

every day is a party day... every day there's something different to do! except for going shopping, that's a routine...

last thursday there were the spanish mile (food, wine, music from spain, on the broadway, in soho) and the Isaac Hayes's free concert in prospect park, brooklyn ... do you know him?

I didn't know him before, but we decided to go there, because a lot of people said to us he's a soul and r&b legend.
it was right! the concert was really amazing and the park was so full!!!! we really had fun!

I was with my classmates: Yuki and Nori from Japan, Sora from Korea, Iuliana from Russia and other...
