To get your weekend started right, I leave you this week with parts 3 and 4 of the New Balance series of shorts about Beatbox Kitchen owner Raph Rashid ( see part 1 and 2 here ).If you only have time to watch only one thing, let it be one of these videos. I've been a longtime fan of the Beatbox Kitchen, for both it's aesthetic and gastro-ideals. So to see the personal philosophies of the one behind it is a real treat. I find myself nodding enthusiastically about near everything Raph says--from making sure he looks after his family first, to 'just getting on' with the tedious tasks because they must be done as much as the fun ones' to taking pause for a cup of coffee. Good coffee. 

Part 3 provides insight into the realism of a life with a family and a burgeoning business. It's admirable howRaph strives to keep it real on both counts.  

Part 4 takes us to the Taco Truck's first encounter with the <a href="http://www.boogie.net.au/">Boogie Festival</a>*, shows us a bit behind the scenes of Raph's follow up book to his 2005 release <a href="http://www.northsiderecords.com.au/?p=211">Behind the Beat</a>, and reaffirms that you have only one shot to make a classic. Whatever it is that you are working on. 

Enjoy and have a great weekend!
