THE HOODLUM PREACHER Week 4/24/2006
Well...So far, so good. We`ve just completed one of the booksignings for "The Hoodlum Preacher". It went really well. We have one in about a few hours, so I`ll have more to tell you later I suppose. Right now, I`ve just been working like crazy to get all this stuff done in time. Give me a few days, and I`ll tell you all about it. Gotta figure out how to get people out to Fenton, MO. And I have about 2 hours to figure it out:) ------------------------------------------
Weekend On Broadway... 4/8/2006
Ok...My weekend was much more interesting than I told you before. I just didn`t feel like typing:) So me, my brother, and his girlfriend drives to New York this weekend to see a Broadway play ("The Color Purple"). We parked in Harlem, to save a few dollars:) Then we caught the Subway to the Times Square area. We got off on 42nd street. The play was on 53rd, and started in like 5 minutes. So we`re running through the cold rain...Weaving our way through the crowd. My brother`s girlfriend (Courtney) twists her ankle, but she never says anything until a few blocks, when we turn around and see she`s all far behind. So we finally get to 53rd and Broadway, fashionably late...Walk in to meet two other people that Courtney`s family gave the tickets to. They were waiting for usin thelobby area. It was a light skinned guy, and a light skinned girl. They were in their 30`s. We were soaking wet, and cold...The girl was like, ya`ll ran from 42nd st.??? We were like, yeah...She was like, me too:) Then we look at the guy, and he`s dry as a bone, and he shook my hand, and his hands are all room-temperature and what-not. I`m thinking...How you gone not give the girl a ride??? But...I didn`t wanna get all up in his bidness. Plus, I probably would have done the same thing...Just depends on how far away she lived:) But anyway...So I was like, you must`ve been here for a while, since you all dry. He was like, nah...I just parked across the street. It`s expensive, but...You can`t beat the convenience. I was like, wtf??? Who pays for convenience in NYC? He must be rich!!! So anyway, we finds our seat. The seats were nice. Right on the front row of like a Mezzanine area. Courtney was like...He looks familiar. Then in intermission, the guy goes to the bathroom, and the girls all nervous like...How do I look? I didn`t get a chance to straighten myself up from the 11 block run in the rain. We were like...You look good. Why??? Is this a blind date or something? She was like...Yeah...Something like that. So, now I`m more interested in their situation. I`m trying to read their body languages, cause...I have nothin better to do:) So the guy get`s back, and starts talking to me and my brother, as opposed to talking to the girl. The girl is talking to Courtney. So I get`s right to the point. So...What do you do? I heard you directed films... He was like, nah...I`m anactor. So I said, what have you done? Then he starts naming all these movies. He said that he was the black guy in Dodge Ball. I was like...I don`t really remember that movie. Then says he was in "Curb Your Enthusiasm". And I`m thinking, ain`t no black people on that show besides Wanda. Then he says he was on a few episodes as Wanda`s boyfriend, "Crazy Eyes Killah" (Season 3, Chris Williams). Then it all clicked..."That was you!!!". So we all laughed. I wasall loud, "That was my joint!!!":) Actually,I thought he did a great job of exploiting the hip-hop culture and stereotyping black folks, but...I didn`t say that. Instead, I was like, yo...You nailed your scenes (That`s my lil phrase), cause I`m not a hater :) But for real...His episodes were funny. So intermission was over, and we watched the rest of the movie. After it was over, they went to dinner, and we headed to Harlem to get some good Jamaican food. If you ever in Harlem....135th and Fredrick Douglas got the fire Jamaican food, please believe it!!! We ate, and headed back to Philly. Another one for the books!!!

Weekly Update 4/3/2006
Ok...The kitchen is painted...The living room is painted. I`ll keep you posted later. I`ll also have pics real soon.
------------------------------------------------------------ ---
What`s good? It`s getting a lil warmer outside these days, so I actually enjoy living in Philly. Philly is cool because...This is where all my favorite artists are from. Makes me feel like a little bit more creative, I guess. Still getting used to the different people and different cultures. Definately different from St. Louis, and even further south. Once I get used to the idea of living in a brownstone, with a small yard, and my house touching my neighbors...I`m fine:) I like all the artwork on the sides of the buildings up here.
