Technorati: May 7th

Adrenaline and sweat! Dropped into one of my favorite little hole-n-the-wall dance clubs last night and just went off! There was this wild DJ in there spinnin' the sickest techno/rap mix I've ever heard in my life! These local guys kept coming in off the street to rap along with, and the whole place just went nuts. Fun, fun, fun. "Stress Management"

. Heard from a professor who teaches addiction studies over at L.A City College- Glendale. He said that they are really impressed with my book, Drugs, Kids and Crime and think they want to include it in their syllabus as a required supplemental text for their classes!

Meeting today with the Director of Covenant House Youth Rescue in Hollywood. He's been reviewing my book for weeks and asked for a meeting to discuss using the book in their efforts to stop youth drug abuse. Such a big problem in this area.

DK&C is now on sale at Skylight Books at 1818 N.Vermont Ave. in L.A

The day begins

A wonderful compliment to want to use your book in the syllabus as required reading! Your right you are sprinkled with luck (winks). Actually I believe it's due to a lot of hard work and sweat. Sounds like you had a huge stress reliever dancing the other night. (Hugs) Indigo

Yeh, I almost never dance, but this night I just needed to really unwind.

Landing a contract at the college would really help right now. This business is double tough to make it in and expensive to run. Right now I'm winding up for a drug abuse prevention seminar at one of the High Schools. They don't have the money to pay me, but I feel I have to do it anyway.

I want to give a copy of my book to every kid in that room, so I'm going out to the community for support to pay for the books. I need to sell another 70 so get the word out!
