Word As Bond
Nice, Herbert. Really nice. Way to go! Awesome, dude. Awesome.

I'm so sorry about this week's belated Holler. I know, I know. Pick up the pace, Herbert! C'mon ... hussle, Herbert! Keep it movin', Herbert! Let's go, Herbert! You're makin' us all late, Herbert! Herbert!! 14 minutes for a mile?? You gotta do better than that, Herbert! Get off me, Herbert! No, Herbert! What are you doing, Herbert? Ew, Herbert! I just wanna be friends!!! Jack Of All Trades, Master Of None! Jack Of All Trades, Master Of None!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh! (Whew ... breathe ... it's okay. In through the nose, out through the mouth. In through the nose, out through the mouth.)

Okay. I'm good now. Sorry about that. Just a little episode. Nothing serious. Really. Anyways, my excuse is that I was in Chicago, celebrating 4th of July with wifey and her family, and I was held in the airport for 12 hours no joke. It really sucked. Bunch of little babies crying, and big babies having to take a pee every freaking 5 seconds, and someone almost had a heart attack, and these other two ladies were escorted off for being drunk, and this one girl got on the wrong flight and had to be taken back to the terminal, and it was ... as Marc Smooth just called me the other day ... "De-dun, de dun." Which apparently means stupid.

Anyways, Chicago is a very pretty city indeed. We went to some wack, money spot called "Narcisse" (appropriately) where everybody jocked us because we sat in VIP. They played the kind of House music everyone in the Hamptons loves--you know, no soul, no real instruments, just big build-ups and flashing lights and some 80s lyrics thrown in to make 'em go crazy after they snort their stuff. Gives a new meaning to the anachronym BPM (Bumps Per Minute). They should've done a big Frankie Knuckles tribute--I hear Chicago set August 28th as Frankie Knuckles Day or something, plus they named a street after him. Unless the folks at King Street were kidding.

Say ... that would be something, wouldn't it? Getting a street named after you? Hi, I'm DJ Herbert. I live at 28 DJ Herbert Drive ... in DJ Herbertville, in the newly annexed state of DJ Herbert. I live with my wife and two sons ... DJ ... and Herbert. Yeah, that works. For real though, they need to name a street after me here in NYC already. It's about time. I'm not asking for much, you know. Just a little street somewhere, one of those little Lanes in the West Village or something like that. Or maybe they can change Avenue of the Americas to ... Avenue of the Herberts. Yeah. That's not asking for much. Or maybe "Freedom is the Most Amazing Party of Our Times" ... Square. Actually, that wouldn't be as good as "Freedom, Every Friday Night at Starfoods, 64 East 1st Street between 1st and 2nd Avenues" Square.

Yes. That'll do. I'll call Bloomberg.

Speaking of Freedom, last week was crazy. At first, it was nervous. It was almost midnight, and it wasn't lookin too good as far as numbers were concerned. It was July 4th, and everyone said everybody was away, and most of the clubs and bars in town were taking a hit. Then 12:30 in the AM rolled around. 280 people all came at once and ripped the roof off the sucker and we ended with Womack and Womack's "Baby I'm Scared of You" and at 4:15 in the AM, people threw us a round of applause. I almost cried. Freedom is the best party, like, ever, you know? Like, oh my God. It's so f-ing cool! This Friday, I feel like playing a crap load of Prince, so be warned. Beware. I really might just end the night with a little "Purple Rain," unless Cosi sneaks in "Darling Nicki." Then we're all in trouble.

Peace, love, good health, life and light,
