Ho ho fro yo

 

A big welcome to all the new subscribers that discovered me this month in Oakland Magazine AND Alameda Magazine.

You picked a great week to subscribe because, you aren’t going to believe this, Santa Claus sent me a video message! I know, right? I was blown away too.

Thanks for being here, everyone. It means a lot to me.

p.s. If anyone asks, like SANTA (hellooo), I wear size 9 1/2 (41). You’ll understand when you see the crazy shoes I’ve featured below.

This video on how to make a “secret” monitor by stripping the polarizing filter off has made the rounds, but it was new to me. Honestly, I didn’t believe it was a real thing you could do but I was wrong.

You got your Santa shoes.
You better get your sleigh
Because there ain’t no time to lose.”–Nancy Sinatra sang a Christmas version of “These Boots are Made for Walking” on The Dean Martin Christmas Show, 1967

“The Green Door sign hangs ominously above the Stockton tunnel in SF. I always assumed this place was the inspiration for Behind the Green Door, an eyes-wide-shut style classic porno flick… But as I look around the net for confirmation, I’m not finding any correlation between the two. Huh.” — Doc Pop
