Bombilla Returns For Another Scorcher For The End Of Summer

I Never Realized How Much Bombilla 
Was Gonna Have Such An Impact On People
People Hit Me Up About Bombilla On The Streets
People Ask Me About Bombilla On The Social Networks
And To Think All Came About
On A Drunken Night
In December 2010
In A Conversation With Eazy Uno
About Sitting Around 
On Days Our Fathers Didn't Have To Work
& Listening To All The Joints & Jams
Our Fathers Played
& How Those Days Are Embedded In Our Minds
I Do That With My Own Son To This Very Day

Bombilla Is A Labor Of Love
I Appreciate Everyone Involved

Solomon,A Camera & A Record Store




These Are Pictures My Son Snapped Up
Of One Of Our Numerous Trips To The 
Local Record Store

He's Been Around Music 
Before He Was Even Born
I Remember Handing Him An Obie Trice 12in Record
When He Was Able To Sit Up By Himself
& The First Thing He Did Was Stick It In His Mouth

On This Day 
Like Six Months Ago
I Gave Him The Camera
& Said  Him To Take Pictures Of Whatever
He Wanted To Take Pictures Of
I Was Curious To See
What He Was Gonna 
Capture

These Are Pictures My Son Snapped Up
Of A Trip 
To The Local Record Store

He Currently Loves Michael Jackson
The Hip Hop
Some Rock n Roll
As Long As It Isn't Too Loud
& Dances To The Latin Grooves

He Goes By The Name
DJ Sollie Sol The Super Sonic Samurai 
Or By Solomon
But Whatever His Name Is
He Often Brings A Smile To My Face
& I Will Love Him Unconditionally

That Funky Festival In The City They Call Long Beach

#Larry & I Pulled Into The Parking Garage
At About Noon
Paid The Attendant Ten Bucks
& Drove Up To The Second Level

The Air Conditioning Was Blarin'
We Smoked A Blunt
Checked Our Phones For Texts
Gathered Our Stuff
& Shot Out Into The Heat
I Had An Umbrella But It Really Didn't Help Much

We Arrived At The First DJ Booth
DJ Antwone From The Ghettoblaster & Mean Mr.Mustard
Were Getting Ready To Start It Up

Gazoo Shuffled Us Off To The Main Stage
Where I Proceeded To Make Myself At Home
I Recieved A Gold Wrist Band Which Allowed Me
Basically Total Access To Back Stage

I Sat Under The Tent That Provided Shade
& Just Watched The People
Surprised That After An Hour Of Smokin' A Blunt
& Being In The Sun That I Was Still Stoned

This Is What Comes To Mind If Someone Asks
Sum Up The Funk Fest..








The Heat
DJ Gazoo Going From One DJ Booth To Another
With A Clip Board (Non Stop)
DJ Antowne Cutting Up A Shirt To Make A Slipmat
People Asking #Larry Where He Got The Shirt He Was Wearing
DJ Joelskee Showin' Up & Setting Up
Ivan Nevelle's Dumpstaphunk Did An Awesome Cover Of David Bowie's "Fame"
Gallons Of Ice Cold Water That I Drank
Being A Foot Away From Dennis Coffey While He Sat In During A Cover Of
The Temptations "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone"
With Monophonics
Who Killed It Themselves
Those Cats Got Soul.!
The Brides Of Funkenstein's Guitarist Looked Like A Female Version Of Bootsy Collins
The Alley Way Between The Main Stage & The Other Stage
& How There Was This Cool Breeze Blowin Thru It
& We Chilled In The Cut Before Heading
To The Other DJ Booth
Where Danny Holloway Was Layin' Down The Vibes With 45's
Then Ralph M Took Over

By This Time I Was Completly Exhausted
Sitting On A Silver Case
My Eyes Began To Get Heavy
So Heavy I Was In That
My Head Is Falling Back
Cause My Body Wanted To Go To Sleep
& DJ Sloe Poke & Dennis Coffey
Where To Get On
But We Bounced
Jumped In To The Truck
Hit The A/C
Headed Home

Only To Wake Up
Pulling Off
At The Manchester Exit
& Seeing The Big Ol' Randy's Donut
& Thinkin'
Damn I Had A Looong Ass Day
But I Had A Blast At The Funky Festival
In The City They Call Long Beach.!

How Do You Say Mixtape In Thai.?


For Some Reason
I Stopped Eating Thai Food
And Doodling
Sometimes I'll Tell Myself It's Cause
I'm So Busy
But It Isn't Really That
It's That Indica Strain
This Heatwave & Not Having Enough
Money To Pay For Thai Food

I'd Much Rather Spend My Time
Stoned
And Spending 
Money On Records Instead




*Check Out This Thai Mix Tape I Found On Soundcloud.!
Support The DJ & Show Some Love.!

It Ain't Cool If You Ain't Got No Radio

Is it me or is it that all the streets & highways in The City of Los Angeles
seem to all be worked on at the worst possible times.
During lunch hour on Manchester Ave.
All the way in to the International Airport
In the evening when you're trying to get to that one Soup Place in Little Tokyo
Or my favorite dive bar in DTLA
The 10
The 710
The 105
The 101
Is nothing but a mass confusion of
flood Lights
safety cones
reflectors
blinking & flashing yellow lights
red & blue lights
and rumblin' heavy machinery 
Just about every highway is being reconstructed
Which is cool if you're smokin' a joint
& ain't the driver

But it definitely ain't cool if you ain't got no radio in yo whip.!

King Hipster Of The Night Time World

The music was just as musty as the place was
Of course you can hear it
But it was just background music
Everyone was plain sweaty,drunk & coked the fuck out

As I stood at the bar trying to get a drink
A couple of guys thought it to be smart & started
A little hipster mosh pit
The After Hour Hippie slash 80's New Wave chicks
Started yelling: Fuuck You.! You Fuuckin Assholes.!
And began pushing back

It was all over before it even started
The guys used the whole dilemma
To get closer to the bar & get some kind of attention from the ladies
And the ladies seem to have found
An Asshole to buy them drinks

Or was it the other way around
I cant quite remember
The lights had me disoriented
The music muffled out the sound around me
All's I know is there was alot of
Hollywood After Hour Hippie slash 80's New Wave shit going on
And some had MORE than others

Outside stood the scene
Either Texting,Bullshittin' or trying to be the coolest hipster
The World has ever known
In a lot of broken bottles & red plastic cups
And not one has a cigarette but everyone is smoking.!

Passin' On The Luck #found #penny #karma

Walking in to a gas station
Thats also slanging fried chicken & over cooked hot dogs
I find a penny facing up

As I picked up the penny
I sang the song
See A Penny
Pick It Up
All Day Long You'll Have
Good Luck
Placed it in the little pocket of my Levi's
Where I often put my change
& went about my day

Later on in the evening
After a couple blunts
& burrito
I pull in to a donut shop
For a chocolate fix

A tall homeless man holding a puppy
Comes up to me
& asks for a maple bar
& in return he'll
Fix any dents
Or scratches on the whip

At that instant
As I was buying the maple bar
another homeless dude approaches me
Wearing a dirty comforter like
Mother Mary
Puts his hand out & mumbles something that sounded like
Can I have some change

I reach in to my pockets & come up empty
Before I say
Sorry
I remembered the small pocket
& pulled out
Two quarters
A dime
& the lucky penny from earlier
& hand it to him

I sat there
ate the donut
& we all went on our separate ways

See a penny
Pick it up
Pass it on
& receive
Karma bucks.!

O.P.R.P Other Peoples Record Players

It never fails
I go out & DJ 
Someones always gonna have
An after party
& they invite me cause they wanna show me their
Record Collection

I guess you can say that
After Hour Parties at someones house
Are usually the same

Guys huddle around a table 
Littered of beer cans
And the Girls spend most of their time
gathering in a bathroom that's too small for them all
 And when they come together
Usually in the living room 
its a game of 
Who 
Can be the Cutest
Who
Can be the Coolest
And Who
Can be the Loudest

On this particular evening
This cat
Who 
I've forgotten his name
But 
Remember that he had a thick accent
Showed off his record collection
Which was cool
I'm always one to go straight thru 
The records as if I was at a record store 
It's just something I instinctively do

But this night what had me in awe 
Was his record player
It was one of those ones from 60's or 70's
That they had in school when I was a kid
   And the fact that it still worked

The party continued
But now the guys are
Arguing over what type of music to play 
On the Radio
And the Girls
Are still trying see 
Exactly how many of then can actually fit in the bathroom

Broke Out In Hives

Cause I had sex with someone in a car
So now I can't have sex in a car
So I shot her a text
That read:
I broke out in hives after we did it in the car
I must be allergic to you
She texts back
lol u r so funny

But I wasn't kidding
A Clinic Hospital Doctor
Who was in "between jobs"
Whatever the fuck that meant
Said
That when I break out in hives its cause
I'm around
Something I'm allergic too

He gave me two shots in the ass
Joked about my beard
& even suggested that I should
"Maybe Stop Smoking Cigarettes"

So I sent her another text
That read:
I'm serious
Now you owe me twenty seven dollars

She didn't reply

I hadn't seen
Or talked to her
In like two months
When one night in
Downtown L.A.
She tapped me on the shoulder
& as I was turning she said
"I thought You were allergic to me"
I replied
"I am but the police wont let me get a restraining order on you"

She laughed
& said
"You're So Funny"
& started to introduce me to her friends
Who all dressed like each other
& drank from the same
PBR Tall Can

I kinda smiled
& took the opportunity to
Excuse Myself
To go smoke some weed
Cause I was starting to feel
Itchy & Uncomfortable

Pon walking out
The DJ played
A song that was once obscure
When it dawned on me

I might just be allergic to Hipsters
& That My Clinic Hospital Doctor
Who was in "between jobs"
Might just be doing too much Oxycontin
Which could explain his
"in-between jobless"

Déjà Vu @ A Red Light

A Pretty Girl
With Obviously
A Ton Of Make Up On
Hides Behind
Big Dark Sunglasses
Waiting For The Light To Turn Green

Some Cats Sittin'
On A Twenty Inch Rimmed
Buick Regal
          Puffin' On A Blunt
          & Bumpin'
The Latest Douche Baggery Song
That Half A Block Radius Can Hear
Try To Get Her Attention
With Cat Calls & "Say Ma"s & "Hey Girl"s

She Looked Over For a Quick Minute
Gave A Little Smile
So As To Not Crack The Foundation Of Her Face
And Went Back To
Twirling Her Hair

Waits For The Light To Turn Green
And Wishes That What She has Done
To Her Face
She Could Beautify Her Whip

As The Light Turns Green
Her Car Back Fires
& Slowly
Rattles Up Commercial St.
On To Work
Where She's
1 Of The 1000 Beautiful Girls
& Not 1 Of The 3 Ugly Ones
Her Job Boasts About
