Word As Bond
My excuse is ... I was in Southern Californ-i-a, duuuude. Everything is so laid-back down there, I just figured I would make that the theme of this week's Holler. Laid-back. A.k.a. "late." Sorry about that. Anyways, I do have jet-lag and I'll be shaking off the Souther Cali sun for another few days. I couldn't even handle it. There's zero precipitation, no clouds, just sun and haze and smog and lots of guys saying "people say I kind of look like Brad Pitt." It's not the place for an over weight Russian kid to really live. I stayed in "Hollywoooooood Hollywood!", and it suuuuuuucked sucked!!!!!!!!!! It's like Jersey with Palm Trees. Wait, I said that about Houston. It's like Houston with a budding porn industry and lots of people who are too self-involved. On the flip side, it's real peaceful. Ain't a cop in sight, nobody acting up, no cars honking horns AT ALL (which was real weird--I got maybe ONE horn honk, and it was barely a honk; it was real soft, like "beep ... please"), and you won't be waiting for a green light longer than 20 seconds. Other good things include the Mexican Cafe in Old Town, San Diego, and Roscoe's. Oh my God. Roscoe's was heaven. They had to take me outta there in a stretcher. The best fried chicken and waffles ever! Ill mac and cheese, too. And the grits???? Word??

Anyways, I'm back. I missed you guys. I missed New York. Holler back. Welcome me home, yeah?

Happy Birthday to Evil D. It was last week, Monday the 24th. Sorry I missed it, but, well, you don't call me anymore, so it's your fault. If for some reason you didn't know, Evil D is a hiphop pioneer, a living legend, setting off real hiphop in the 90s with Black Moon and still killing the 1s and 2s. He's DJ Herbert's favorite #1 hiphop DJ. Plain and simple. Big shout out to DJ Wicked Wayne who held me down last Saturday at Lot 61. I hear you killt it! Killt! Thanks again, stroms! Also big thanks to Dan Cherry for the going-away gig. That was aiight!!!! And wassup to James Earl Jones. Dude calls me all the time, and I like talking to him, but every conversation ends up with a long rant about Verizon, and then I gotta cut dude short. He is getting a lil' bit old, so I hope he knows that he talks about the same thing everytime. You know I love you, James. I'll never forget the work we did together for that movie on the subway (which never went to screen).

Freedom was doper than dope and is still and every week it's crazy and people at all these OTHER parties are talking about it and every week it's simply the best thing to happen to NYC nightlife in a LONG-ass time (since Good World). If you didn't get my alert about it, it's because Hotmail's acting up. Acting stupid. Careful, Hotmail. Keep at it and you'll turn into AOL and everyone will need to look elsewhere for free email.

Last, big shout out to DJ Obah for speaking his mind. Herbert would like to, but I never got the nads to, plus I'm trying to stay as professional as possible. Me and you both got beef with the fashion industry: You with T5S who I remember back in the Giant Step weekly days when they were handing out free winter hats and all they had for a logo was a steaming cup of hot chocolate), and me with ... that ... company from the West Coast who I'll never do the honor of mentioning in this mail and inevitably give them free publicity. Unless they send me my stuff. And I'm not talking about no "box." I want--at this point--"boxes," plural! Feel me?

F.U, Scott!!

Peace, love, good health and success,

P.S.--Bye, Greg. You punk. You're so p-whipped, you gettin' dragged overseas!
P.P.S.--Let's Do This, Coltrane!!
