Now that I’ve reached Gold status on my Starbucks member card you can pretty much assume any blog entry about a coffee shop happened at a Starbucks. Apparently my desire to fight the man is neutralized by free refills. I still hit up mom and pops on the weekends or...

My shows in India are going well (There’s a sentence I never thought I’d hear myself say.) Where I’m from people don’t brave Indian food much less troop over to Bangalore. I owe it all to stand-up comedy and the Brits, of course, for making sure the entire...

I just touched down, well abut an hour ago, in Bangalore India. Here’s what ran through my head during my cab ride from the airport to the hotel. I’m in f@&kin India! Thank God I didn’t have to walk to the hotel (not referring to the distance) Those pack of stray...

A guy walked up to the taco truck line I was standing in and announced to everyone in the queue that he had DVDs and Deodorant for sale. Hustler says what? DVDs are a mainstay of street sales. Whenever I go home to New York my mom will pop in a movie that is...

Smack dab in between Los Angeles and San Francisco, off route 101, lies a beautiful town called San Luis Obispo (SLO). It’s the kind of place that, as soon as you get there you start figuring out ways to stay forever. Maybe cash in on your 401K or see if the local...
