Make It Funky Fest

The 2^nd Make It Funky Festival presented by the Flock Shop LA was just as hoped it would be. A small festival with great musical acts, both by DJ’s and Bands, unlike the huge festivals with mediocre acts all day.
If you are in the likes of KCRW and anything other than top40 than the $ 10 entrance is very much worth it. Funk sounds from Connie Price, lyricism from Wildchild, brass horn’s blairing from The Rebirth, to all the wonderful DJ’s that play in some of the most renowned underground venues will keep you two stepping the night away (ie: Soul Sessions, The Rhythm Section, Afro Funke, and Sonado Sunday.)
The festival also had a Food Vendor Court which was filled with a couple of LA’s famous food trucks. The White Rabbit Food Truck and Spring Street BBQ kept my belly full as I walked around.
I am personally not a big vendor fan, but there were plenty of vendors with great stuff.
The live art was very entertaining while DJ’s feed the artists musical inspiration.
Overall Make It Funky is an experience that I hope Chinatown and Flock Shop continue throughout the years. It brings quality music as well as great people together to open your mind, fill your belly, and your keep your feet moving.

This event was much smaller than I anticipated. There were only a handful of vendors, and not much that I found interesting. I bought a pair of earrings on my way out, so I guess it wasn’t all bad. The artists who were painting canvases at the front were pretty cool, but we didn’t have enough time to sit around and watch them.
We spent the most time in the food truck food court. There were five or six trucks. I wished there were more, but then again, I can only eat so much, so it ended up being alright.
This would have been much better if we didn’t have to pay five bucks each to get in.
