I JUST MOVED HERE

& that explains why I have no furniture.

PARTY PEOPLE IN THE PLACE TO BE

Coming on the mic is Eazy Motherfucking BBD.

Dre is on the beat. Yella’s on the drum. So listen up close as we rip shit up.

Sorry.I just moved to Substack and I’m already playing that rap shit on blast.

And I don’t even have any furniture.

Over the past few years, many of you have been laughing at me via my Mestizo newsletter on Mailchimp. What started as funny promotional quips and quacks morphed into tracking the tragedy that is my stand-up comedy pursuit.

You’ll remember I had a goal of making five thousand dollars my first year.

My comic friends scoffed. I scoffed back…but with more scoff. A year later, I cried.Then they laughed till they cried.

Then we all laughed.

But I’m still crying.

What a life.

At any rate, after much deliberation, I’ve concluded Substack is a better platform for cultivating a community around comedy, culture, commentary, COMMERCE and Los Angeles.

It allows for public comments. It’s more personable than other social platforms. & I can go deeper with analysis and shit talking… but mostly shit talking.

So this is that.

And because I didn’t want to sleep directly on the floor my first night, this post is my attempt to throw a Temu egyptian cotton 5000 thread count sheet down.

But more is coming.

While I’ve enjoyed a career of more than two decades as a writer (in TV and marketing and rap and poetry and graffiti), I know there’s more ahead and I’m humbled that you’d join me.

& I’m not alone.

Don’t worry, they’re not spending the night but some of my friends are on Substack and I’m looking forward to our shared experience on this platform.
