National NIght out- LIttle Tokyo knows how to throw a party

What a night last night!!! It was family reunion time once again. Many newbies to downtown don't understand how long I have lived in Downtown Los Angeles and how far my relationships reach . They seem to think that just because I live in skid row I don't have friends all over downtown. These are friends that will always be my friends no matter how ill the new folks opening up shop downtown treat me.

For instance, below, are photos of a great friend of mine and a great friend of the councilwoman Jan Perry. Frances Hashimoto who sells Mochi. Almost every shot I have from last night's National Night out with others was taken with her .

Check it out.

The party was great . Whoever put this party on knew what they were doing. I ran into all of the bloggers there. I met whitedude for the first time _DSC6616 (Large) He looks like he doesn't have a problem getting dates. We talked about the asian beauties that surrounded us that evening. They were everywhere.

I was lucky in getting this photo of this doggie before it's owner realized it was putting on a free show.DSC07170 (Large)


Towards the end of the National Night out I did some crooning . I hadn't sang in public for a long time. I don't like doing it because for some reason women fall in love with my voice and sure enough theseDSC07236 (Large) Australian and New Zealand tourists wanted me to sing some more after singing a Willie Nelson song to the beautiful traffic cop ladies that were there.

Ha ha- Dgarzilla, you're the "lady killer"! I just wanted to hang with you a little as all the ladies were flocking around, expecially when you were singing- Willie would have been proud!

Thanks for introducing me to some cool folks. Anytime you want a "wing man" let me know...

For my dear friend Richard Feagin - Sifu Richard Feagin

For some odd reason when I heard news that my childhood friend was killed in a car accident I thought of another friend we used to get together with and sing this song and others. We were all a bunch of christian rednecks. Didn't drink , smoke, use drugs and searching for wives and not whoring around. Richard Feagin introduced me to the world of anime. HE went on to beome a master karate instructor. Who would have thought. He was a close friend that helped me work out lot's of questions I had in puberty. Girls and all that. Kept us out of trouble to be two guys who were waiting for the right girl to marry. HE leaves two young children and a beautiful wife. None of the renditions of this song on the internet even come close to the ozark type of twang we used. I can still sing like that. Raised on that Southern Baptist Gospel Music. I will give alist of my favorites. We used the banjo a lot. This is not my home On the wings of a dove- this is the version I remember growing u...

Gordon Turner does make it to skid row on this election day. He was at San Julian Park passing out flyers and speaking to voters. Some voters got excited and asked for handfuls of flyers to begin to pass out to voters on the Nickel.  Someone had passed out flyers last night , apparently, because there were already flyers all over skid row when he arrived.

To those who think that Marijuana has never killed anyone

Update: once again marijuana used by sexual deviants to assault young teenagers who skipped school. When officers arrived, the men were gone, he said. "It looks like this house was not lived in," Taylor said. The girls told police they met the men at the Paseo Colorado mall on Colorado Boulevard, where they were playing hooky from school, he said. The men then invited the girls to the Idaho Street house, he added. Once there, the men brought out alcohol and marijuana and gave it to the 14-year-olds before sexually assaulting them, he said. Marijuana is addictive and it is also plain fun for many young people . John Wayne Gacy used MArijuana to lure young men into his home Jeffrey Dahmer used marijuana to lure young men he killed into his home Jaime Green, who lives at the Southern Hotel operated by SRO HOusing Corporation, uses his medical marijauna to lure young males to his room to molest them...and he is a registered sex offender that has to register e...
