August,1980
Dear Lázaro,
I'm doing a TV show! Okay it's for Public Access cable but it's still TV. And I'm on every week. You'll never guess what I'm playing? A
This show is taped in back of an antique store in
Everybody in the cast gives a hundred dollars a week to
The color on the cameras isn’t balanced properly so when you switch from one to the other the color changes too.
There's this big guy named Slovak who looks like Herman
I mean out here it's totally cool. I've seen guys walking holding hands down the street. And I mean guys! Not the velour and paisley crowd stepping out of
Then there's this woman, Megan, who acts like she just had a Spanish Fly martini with an oyster chaser. She just doesn't stop. She grabs and gropes every guy on the set. And she's always talking about her husband, Dudley.
I thought she was lying about the husband. You know how Maria Porcari used to invent a boyfriend in The Tombs whenever she wanted to scare away any guy who was getting too hot and heavy for her? But she didn't act like she was entered in the Xaviera Hollander marathon either.
Anyway, I met Megan's husband. He came to do the show also. Skinny, wimpy blond guy. And she didn't stop doing anything. She even did things in front of him. I hate to sound provincial but you know back home that kind of behavior would have gotten you a lot of wailing old ladies at Dimitri’s Funeral Parlor.
Well after a night's shoot,
I figured they would all be so stoned that they wouldn't notice that the reefer never touched my mouth.
All I kept thinking about was that I couldn't put anything in my mouth that had been in all those other mouths before.
How gross! That's unhealthy too, right?
