KEEPIN' IT
REAL:
After more than a year investigating the nicks and crannies of
Los Angeles nightlife, Charles has become quite a connoisseur
(pronounced con-why-sir) of what "The City" has to
offer. From his home in Ridgely Gardens, Charles sends us sporadic
snippets of savvy city snapshots, which should make at least
some of you chuckle somewhat. Please forage at your leisure:
ONE PATH BY WHICH
TO EXIT: 3/27/01
Coco MacCheesepuff tosses
us a rather droll bone--a rewrite of a song that most red-blooded
Americans should know quite well. He successfully extricates any
blues and rock 'n roll from the song and replaces it with a sardonic
tone. Go to ONE
PATH BY WHICH TO EXIT!!
COY THREE-PEATS:
3/25/01
Charles sweeps this year's
Oscar poll for the third year in a row. Check out the extensive
media coverage on this unprecedented event. COY
THREE-PEATS!!
CRY FOR HELP: 07/16/00
Charles sends out a cry
for help to rescue him from the relentless onslaught of music
that he is exposed to on a daily basis at his job at a hot L.A.
Internet company. CRY FOR HELP
DAN ROCKETT BAND: 06/23/00
Charles witnesses a
West Coast appearance of one of New England's finest gravelly-voiced
funk/folk/rocksters, Dan Rockett. ROCKETT

LETTERS TO A LANDLORD
Here are some letters from Choochie's confrontation wih his landlord
immediately prior to taking up residence with yours truly and
C-Dog Dorment, in our "San Francisco" years. They chronologically
detail how an apparently well-adjusted, even-tempered person
slowly starts losing his patience and faith in common human decency.
The third letter is by far the most amusing.

RANDOM
PICTURES
Here are some random shots sent to me by an unknown source (actually,
an unpronouncable source: pindeldyboz), which I
think shed some light on his unique personality.

For some added entertainment, here are a couple pictures from
Choochie's most recent excursion into the desert to Joshua Tree
(we've edited out photos of him munching on locusts.
