On October 17, Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus returned to the Funky Brunch—an excellent happening that happens every Sunday at Mama Roux, a New Orleans-themed restaurant located in the heart of Newbergh, New York, with the mighty Hudson River visible just down Broadway. The food is gooood at Mama Roux, so if you live within a 20-hour drive, you may want to make the scene!!

The Funky Brunch is hosted by our pal DJ Pete Pop. He’s got a basement full of great records and he knows how to play them. Apparently it is rare that Pete Pop has a guest DJ with him at the Funky Brunch. A couple of weeks ago he had our friend DJ Elevator Operator. It was a gas to see him working the Funky Brunch crowd. However, Pete Pop usually works alone—which is fine, but he enjoys diggin’ what other DJs are putting down. With that in mind, he had Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus work a little overtime.

At the end of the event, the chef laid out some food for the employees to partake. Mr. Pop and the Phast One did so with glee. We don’t think we can tell you what we had because they all had French names that we quickly forgot, but the food was goooood!!
