(Art, where is your site meter? It looks like it disappeared).
My old barber had a shirt like that.
Santa Ana will be hoping that Thursday night.
I AM THERE. I want to find out how this little cabron got to be such a good writer at half my age or so. And he stood me up once, having promised to speak at a Healthcare For All Orange County event.
Cook. I believe you made a TELLING typo. Santa Ana will be going for Obama, es cierto!
Vern: Gracias for the kind words. Sorry for standing you up that time, but the Catholic Church beat trumps everything in my life!
I love Gustavo’s writing in the OC Weekly from the tongue in cheek “Ask a Mexican” to the reviews of out of the way restaurants to his occasional larger stories.
So Gustavo, will a pasty gringo be welcome in SA that evening or should I wait for you to come to the South Coast Plaza Borders? I mean I don’t want to get stabbed or something.
Geez, anonyms, I’ll protect you; and I’m at least as pasty.
Congrats, Gustavo! I love reading your musings.
How many pages and how much? And what is your favorite part of your book?
Give us some scraps… give us some details, man!
Oh Vern, would you?
Shoot, I missed it. I’ll definitely have to look into the book though, sounds like a pretty interesting read. Thanks for the post, keep up the good work.
