Janelle Monáe at AfroPunk in Brooklyn

"Oh my goodness, I LOVE BROOKLYN!!!"
These were the first words JM said when she got off of the stage after tearing it down at the Afropunk festival in BK. The crowd was full of energy and so appreciative of Jane's cybersoul.

In attendance were skaters, bikers, singers, painters, photogs, and artists of every shape, size, age, and color. It was like a huge pot of Afropunk Gumbo!

Brooklyn,

We'll be back very soon!

-The Wondaland Arts Society.

*special thanks to James Spooner, Afrika Bambaataa and Fab 5 Freddy for the warm reception.

We at Wondaland are inventors. We wear tuxedos everyday. We jump in pools during performances. We wear Civil War hats and rock vintage Jordans. We believe truth can be broken down with the following formula: Truth= Love x Imagination.

We believe songs are spaceships. We believe music is the weapon of the future. We believe books are stars.
We believe there are only three forms of music: good music, bad music and funk.
We have created our own state, our own republic. There is grass here. Grass sprouts from toilet seats, bookshelves, ceilings and floors. Grass makes us feel good. In this state, there are no laws, there is only music. Funk rules the spirit. And punk rules the courtrooms and marketplace. Period.

In this state, there is no food. We eat books and season them with wine and cotton candy. When you want the news, you read a comic book.

There is also Love. Sex. Wisdom. Magic and Wonder. These things add up to something new and ancient that we call WISM. WISM makes us feel good. Who needs drugs when you've got WISM?

We believe women are much smarter than men. And strive to act accordingly.

We have built several cities. We are always looking for a new city to live in. We have recently moved from Atlantis to Metropolis, a city of our own design. It's the largest city in the world, but you can only see it by closing your eyes.

We are watching Steve Jobs the way Berry Gordy watched Henry Ford. We believe in Moore's Law, in time pacing, in micro-chunking, in nanofying, in monetizing, optimizing everything, and shipping products. We're like a cross between Guy Kawasaki and James Brown.
