Costa Rica, Here I Come.

Goodbye Cruel World.

After almost five straight months on the road, I am disappearing to Costa Rica until the middle of January. If I haven't returned your calls or emails, it was because I was busy as fuck. Now it's because I am in the jungle. Please try again later.

I've had more than enough to update you with in the last few months. Austin was a blast and Tampa was semi-eventful, even if not all good. Alaska was the usual blowout with excessive nudity but the drugs just don't take as well when you're head is a mess of distractions and obligations.

I am hosting the new Girls Gone Wild video, should be out early 2004. Ridiculous and surreal, it seemed like a good story while we were filming it but now when I have time to write about it, it all seems like a hazy blur of tits and drunken insults. Same goes for the Ginger Lynn retirement party.

So I am off to Costa Rica. Hopefully I'll come back with a good story. Until then, I will leave with with some pics of the last few months of the recklessness I loosely refer to as a career.

Make sure you sign the mailing list. It may be the only way you'll know if I'll be coming around your neck of the dirt, especially if you live near Tampa. There'll be plenty of weird shit happening in 2004.

Oh, and buy my shit. Thanks.

Cancelled Shows

The Kodak Theater show on Dec 13th has been cancelled. We believe it is due to Sean Rouse's unpopularity with the ladies. All apologies.

Speaking of cancelled shows, quite possibly the funniest news story ever, from Salon.com

Fans in Sierra Leone riot when dwarf comedians don't show By Clarence Roy-Macaulay Dec. 6, 2003 | FREETOWN, Sierra Leone (AP) -- Thousands of fans rioted at Sierra Leone’s national stadium Saturday when authorities substituted two local dwarf comedians for a widely anticipated out-of-town midget duo. Police arrested 30 people, amid damage and dozens of injuries. Daylong radio ads had whipped up excitement and ticket sales for Friday night’s scheduled performance by the two Nigerian entertainers, Aki and Paw Paw. The Nigerian performers failed to show by early morning. Organizers put the two local dwarf comedians on the stage instead. Fans rioted, throwing projectiles and smashing windows, light fixtures and hundreds of chairs. Witnesses said police fired tear gas. Authorities said 30 people were arrested, including eight who allegedly had tried to steal the stadium’s seats. Dozens of show-goers were reported injured in the melee. Saturday, blood splattered parts of the stadium. Acting President Solomon Berewa, filling in while President Ahmed Tejan Kabbah is at a Commonwealth summit in Nigeria, toured the riot site Saturday and condemned the violence. Sierra Leone’s National Stadium was built as a gift from China. The stadium was under repairs for damage from the West African nation’s devastating 10-year rebellion, ended in January 2002.
