CHICAGO, (January 2005)--In B-Cole’s first movie, he showed us how funny it could be to "love a crack head" and now he’s having a get together he guarantees is just as funny.

 That's right people, Chicago’s own B-Cole, has once again written, directed, and starred in his second movie called, Get2Gether.

I’m writing this article before its release, but B-Cole promises me that it’s full of laughs. Judging from his past work on BET Comic View and in other stand up performances, I believe his word is bond. "It’s the house party for the new millennium," said Cole, a the 1990 Julian High School graduate. "The ‘House Party’ is ‘Next Friday’, but tonight there is a Get2Gether.

The movie, which debuted in Chicago on New Years’ Eve, is currently in film festivals nationwide. Get2Gether is about Derrick (B-Cole), a college student who plans a small "get together" (name Chicago people often use to describe small parties) when he discovers his parents are going out of town.

But things get chaotic when his best friend (played by Comedian Tony Roberts) invites the whole neighborhood and turns it into a block party.

The cast includes Michael Coylar, DJ Kid Capri, Tony Roberts, Simply Marvelous, Marlon Mitchell, Muhammad, Wildcat, Meechie, Tiffany J. Curtis, and Gearld McQuarter. B-Cole shot the movie in nine days with a budget under $100,000. "We shot for 12 hours each day at a home out in Hazel Crest," he said.

Most comedy fans are already familiar with B-Cole who spent eight seasons on BET’s Comic View. In fact, inspiration for his first movie, I’m in Love with a Crackhead, came from an original poem he performed on Comic View. B-Cole also made appearances in both Love Jones and Barbershop.

Both independent films are a reflection of B-Cole’s Chi-town hustler attitude. Instead of just waiting for opportunities, this product of the south side’s "Wild 100s" neighborhood made some.

"Don’t sit around and wait for something to fall in your lap, you have to push yourself. God bless the child that got his own."

B-Cole will be selling his movies everywhere he goes and he encourages you to bypass the neighborhood bootleggers. Not only does this act keep him from reaping the benefits of his hard labor, but also if you patronize the bootleggers, you won’t get his first movie "I’m in Love with a Crackhead" which is included as a bonus feature.

Besides, it’s time to show the proper amount of love for our Chicago artists who we often don’t give real love until they get the stamp from New York or Los Angeles.

2004

Written by B* COLE

We’ve come to an end of 2004

Full of scandals, deceptions and controversy galore

Beginning of the year it was calm and silent

Then a little white girl paid a visit to Kobe Bryant

she screamed rape and Lakers lost to the Pistons

Kobe’s dumb as the Chicken of the sea quote by Jessica Simpson

Lord Of The Rings has ended and so did the Matrix

Paris Hilton had a video and boy did she make tricks

Bishop Don Juan has become an icon

hanging out with celebrities like Snoop, P. Diddy and William Hung (She Bang)

They tried to push gay marriage, homophobes were annoyed

Then a white homophobic tiger attacked Siegfried and Roy

We wanted Bush out of office , that was America’s dream

But Al Sharpton had a perm and Howard Dean had to scream

Michael Moore blasted Bush with Fahrenheit 911

But we were more concerned about that white trash couple Britney and Kevin

We invaded Iraq and found Sadaam in a hole

but people were more interested in a rack shown on the Super Bowl

Justin turned against Janet about a "wardrobe malfunction"

If he’s such a "cool whiteboy", why did he cry on Punk’D then

Jay Z retired and said he will not return

Then sprayed R. Kelly in the face with mace and made his eyes burn

I wish my eyes were burned when I saw Soul Plane

That was some BULL****!!!!!

The Olympics were boring, Martha Stewart went to jail

Scott Peterson sentenced to death, see you in hell

The Olsen twins were ridiculed because Mary Kate wouldn’t eat

Oprah was praised for leaving car keys under the seat

Hello Desperate House Wives, goodbye Sex & The City

Tara Reid was in the news for exposing an awkward titty

The Red Sox win the World Series, Fantasia takes the Idol

J-Lo jumped the broom again which makes her 13th bridle

Mysterious things happened 2004 but I wanna know

How in the hell Method and Redman get a show

The Terminator is governor of the State of California

O’Reilly was caught asking his assistant "You got a vibrator on ya"

Anna Nicole was high introducing Kanye West

He should’ve performed Jesus Walks instead of Pilates and maybe he would’ve got Best (artist)

Passion Of The Christ did it for Mel

Rick James made a come back on Dave Chapelle

Jamie Foxx got busy in the movie Ray

Puffy said Vote or Die on Election Day

Milli Vanilli committed suicide in 1995

For what Ashlee Simpson did on Saturday Night Live

The Vibe Awards was violent, they think that’s what we must do

When they’re feeding us violence with Grand Theft Auto San Andreas on PS2

Jam Master J and Ol’ Dirty Bastard is gone

Macaulay Culkin is on house arrest, Home Alone

The bigger they are the harder they fall

Ask Ron Artest about the Basketball Brawl

There’s a lot more to say about 2004

But I’m walking out the door and leaving dirt on the floor

Fresh for the New Year fully revived

God Bless you and yours in 2005
