Whatta Weekend!

Thursday night the guys at the radio show took me to dinner. Very nice of them. The dinner itself is a riot. I had a Colossal Burger, Fries, a drink and a cheesecake. That burger was fucking huge. Check out ze fotolog. I called it a Murderburger because they serve it to you with this obscenely huge knife. Definetely appeals to my inner serial killer. Anyway we dined in a Twilight Zone so to speak. Lots of cool, witty and very funny banter between us including references to tossing the salad in the salad bar, getting your coffee's cream via a handjob or by a machine, and fingering methods. Anyway the service was good but check this out. The beer mugs are deceptively light so in case you wanna grab your bear mug and go into pirate or viking drinking mode hardy har har, you might end up spilling someone else. Thank God no one had an accident. Then the punchline is that the drinking cups for the sodas, et. al. are heavy as fuck. We were like, WTF? and laughed at those contradictions. I think the highlight of the evening was we're in the middle of this restaurant full of diners and families with their kids having dinner. HBO's on the telly and the movie ends and Real Sex begins. The employees left the show on for a good 10 minutes before Cheo screams: "Hey! Change the channel! Can't you see there are families in here?" Our whole party laughed so loud. Gawd. Pepe gave me this cool t-shirt to wear and we had fun cranking the Judas Priest boxed set on his car afterwards. Crank it up to 11 Nigel! Best birthday dinner EVER!

Friday was my first day of training and it went down smoothly. The Skatalites were being interviewed for the midday radio show and it was an honor to see them there. Carmelo took me out to dinner and we had steaks, because we could. It was fun. Carmelo's a smart witty man. He has some cool projects that I want to take part of. Later in the evening thanks to good ole Revkunin, we hit the show and it was a blast. Huge line to enter but we talked and chatted with some people for a bit. La Fundacion and Skatalites rocked the house. The club was packed and the second floor was the unnoficial ganja smoking station for those who partaked with the herb. Personally, I didn't partake but I found really amusing that the club security instead of busting the kids who smoked pot downstairs they hinted that they should go upstairs instead. It was good to hang out with Vero, Bea, Eze, Pepe, Blood, Kenny, Matura, Nina, Victor, Louk, Micro-bio, Mariana and the Rev. Doreen Schaeffer didn't come because she flew to Jamaica to attend Coxsonne Dodd's funeral, but all in all, it was a great show. Sorry Satrina, Doreen didn't show up so I couldn't get you a picture. Missed the Preurbano anniversary show because I went to see the Skatalites. Sorry people!

Saturday at the radio show it was a really good show despite an unexpected bump on the road. We pulled it off and another good show done. Pepe's set in the second hour killed. He should be out there spinning. Anais and Guili came to visit along with Mari and friends. Angelito and I were a riot on the way to the show. He's such a sweetheart. We had a blast after the show joking, having fun and the guys went out for drinks, but I headed home to catch some Z's.

All in all, a good week.
