Wu Tang's GZA Played Chess With Fans And Packed the House in Deep Ellum.
At 5 p.m. Friday, people lounged around The Weed Spot in Deep Ellum, waiting for their chance to meet GZA, aka"The Genius," one of the original founding members of Wu-Tang Clan.
The meet-and-greet, where GZA would be playing chess with fans, was supposed to be at 5, but it was pushed back until 6. The fans didn't really seem to mind. It gave the event's emcee time to come up with ideas for a shirt raffle and a sing-along game in which the song would get cut off and the participant would have to keep singing. The latter was suggested, but didn't end up happening.
GZA ended up playing three matches of chess, and won all three. There were 5-minute timers set for each match, and it was beyond rad to see both players take the game so seriously and in a state of ultimate concentration. GZA's brow furrowed as his opponents made tricky moves, but ended up overpowering them and finishing the games swiftly and with finesse.The VIP party moved next door after it became uncomfortably hot in the store.
