We here at PUNK GLOBE wanna wish you all a very Happy VD... What is February 14th without a good case of VD... I love the month of February mainly because it is festive and fun!! KATHY GRIFFIN did not fail us! She did say Fuck in a very funny way New Years Eve on CNN with ANDERSON COOPER..... Check it out below...

SHARLA CARTNER found her house in Melbourne and is ready to RAWK!!! We here in Southern California have been having horrible, rain, thunder & lightning, hail, snow and tornado's.. In other words it has been wet and cold. And SHARLA is dealing with the hot weather in Australia.. And faulty Air Conditioners... There is sadness to report I recently learned about the passing of my pal EVIE BIBO who passed in late November. She worked for years at The Soap Plant... Check out our tribute to her.. Singer TEDDY PENDERGRASS, Author J.D. SALINGER, JAMES MITCHELL best known as PALMER COURTLAND on All My Children, Trapper John / Bonanza Star PERNELL ROBERTS , Actresses JEAN SIMMONS and JENNIFER JONES all recently passed way.. Former Golden Girl RUE MCLANAHAN had a stroke after she had a Heart Bypass.. However she is slowly recovering.. . BEBE BUELL has been donating her time to a private group of people who flying supplies to the Earthquake Victims in Haiti.. A group of wealthy people on the East Coast have decided to take matters into their own hands and to get emergency supplies direct to the Earthquake Victims.. BEBE wanted to go down and help with the Animal Rescue but was unable to travel at this point because of the overabundance of volunteers..The Telethon for Haiti has garnered over 70 Billion Dollars... It was great to see everyone rally together for the cause I saw REESE WITHERSPOON and so many others manning the phones.. KATHY PECK and JESSICA DICKSON were in Anaheim for The NAMM Convention representing H.E.A.R. JENINE DE SHAZER and GINGER COYOTE were KATHY'S guests for the event.. We went two days the first and last days... On the first day we saw of course KATHY PECK and JESSICA DICKSON along with meeting DAVID GRAY from FUTURE SONICS.. We went into the Hall and almost immediately ran into ROSIE and her pal from Hawaii... ROSIE who recently worked on The Peoples Choice Awards invited us to a party later that night at The Hilton... We did see her later but we never made it to that party.. We starting cruising the booths and soon saw JORMA KAUKONEN who I have not seen in ages.. We chatted about the late NYNA CRAWFORD and when she sang "WHITE RABBIT" when JORMA went to see SMASHED WEEKEND play on Haight Street.. And of course we spoke about fellow SMASHED WEEKEND / HOT TUNA member MICHAEL FALZARANO and his lovely wife CLAUDIA.... MICHAEL has been playing for quite some time now with THE NEW RIDERS OF THE PURPLE SAGE... JENINE and I then met the wonderful Mother of STANLEY CLARK'S Drummer who was wearing a great pair of Glitter Glasses and had Purple hair.. She told us that she was from Detroit and caused quite a stir when she went to church.. They just don't know that Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!! Of course I only begged her to get WILDER!!! She was standing front and center in support of her son.. We also met her husband who also was very friendly and very proud of his son.. We saw RICKY ROCKET of POISON who was working the room.. YOKO ONO, HERBIE HANCOCK, ERICA LISS and JOHN THE BAKER were also there.. In the Lobby I ran into GIRLSCHOOL who fuckin' rule.. So nice and friendly... They gave me a CD for NAMM with LEMMY playing with them.. After the show we all went back to the MARRIOTT HOTEL where I ran into the wonderful JACK NICKLIN who works at the Marriott Hotel and was a true Saint helping JESSICA and KATHY with so many things.. In fact JACK made it easier for us all... BRIAN BELL who woks with HERBIE HANCOCK had invited Kathy and us a to a dinner at one of the many Restaurants in the Hotel. There was food galore and lots of wine... .. All of the Guests were wonderful. There was about ten people at the table.. His brother CLIFFORD BELL was a delight and I enjoyed taking with SANDRA BERNHARD'S musical collaborator MITCH KAPLAN... At the party lot of the people were asking about JOSIE COTTON'S "MANEATERS" Video.... So here it is....

After dinner we went out by the pool and hung out meeting all sorts of fun people.. Lots of people who worked in the business and bands that were playing and attending NAMM... JESSICA DICKSON introduced us to the people who oversee the biggest trade convention in Europe that is very similar to NAMM in Germany.. They seemed like very nice people... On Saturday JOSIE COTTON , LUIGI and I were going to go to NAMM and take in the convention along with going to a few parties but JOSIE relapsed with that horrible flu bug so we had to cancel. But I got a call that night from JENINE saying she would like to go on Sunday which was the last day.... Because of the rain and other mishaps we wee a bit late arriving to Anaheim but we got to see MASON DENNY, STACY TUTTLE, DARIUS, TIM TUTTLE, ANDREW TUTTLE, JORDAN TUTTLE, BERTON AVERIE of THE KNACK , CHERIE CURRIE, PRESCOTT NILES & RON WHITAKER'S Photographer friend and last bit not least.... The legendary BOOTSY COLLINS.. He was so friendly and warm.. I told him about PUNK GLOBE and I hope he will do an interview with us.. We went back to The Marriott where we again saw the always superb JACK NICKLIN who treated us to cocktails while KATHY got us dinner.. It was pouring down rain and NAMM was winding down... Alas we jumped into JENINE'S car and were off in the rain soaked weather back to Hollywood.. After KATHY and JESSICA checked into their Hotel in Hollywood and we then went to the Burgundy Room ending the night at The Spotlight drinking Buttery Nipples.. On our way back to the hotel we ran into ERIC and APPLE at L.A. TATTOO..Both of these guys are so funny and cool... APPLE has ink all over his body... On Monday we went to Thai Town where we visited the fabulous FAROH. He surprised us with a couple more revelations about himself. That he is a Champion Bowler and served in the Military in Thailand and fought in Combat!!! All this besides being a Buddhist Monk, An Award Winning Hair Stylist, Champion Kick Boxer, Professional Thai Dancer in a Troupe that performs at Thai events all over. And last but certainly not least has the honor of being Miss Thailand.. Wow- FAROH has a resume that most of us can only dream of ... That is why he is so very special.. We had dinner at the Thai BBQ. The food was so delicious... We stopped to check out Out Of The Closet and we saw FAROH again on his way to Ralph's.. We were blessed twice ! We then went by WILCOX TATTOO so KATHY &  JESSICA could meet TAKASHI and TWISTED.. We gave TAKA some leftovers of the Thai food... Later that night we stopped by KUNG PAO KITTY'S to hangout with the wonderful AMY KELLY... The next night we had a fucking fun Dinner Party at EL COMPADRE on Sunset Blvd across the street from The Guitar Center.. Around 8:15 things started jumping when GINGER COYOTE, JOSIE COTTON, MIGNON (Who played with Peaches), LUIGI, KATHY PECK, STEVIE LINSLEY, JESSICA DICKSON, MASON DENNY, Actor JONATHAN GRIES, MOLLY SCHIOT (Paper Magazine) , KIM and a quick visit from Model /Actor ERIC Z (who was off to Sundance the next morning) got the joint rawking.. We all had a great time and then JESSICA, KATHY, MIGNON, KIM and myself went to The Burgundy Room where we ran into GENE LOUIS who had just gotten back from a tour of the UK with his band BULLETS AND OCTANE... We then decided to go see what was happening at The Velvet Margarita... BIG DADDY CARLOS was not in but we did see his Wife and the bartender SHORTY....

RUBY BLACKSTOCK and BETH who she works with were recent visitors to LA to see PEE WEE HERMAN...We went to see CARLOS GUITARLESS who was playing at The Hollywood Studio Bar and Grill at Gower Gulch.. CARLOS had us laughing so hard... Then we went to The Spotlight for Karaoke and we saw ALEXIS ARQUETTE do her special rendition of "White Rabbit" which brought the house down.. Then RUBY sang " This Crazy Little Thing Called Love" which got a hearty applause..... Them we were off to The Burgundy Room where we ran into DANIEL DELEON whom RUBY had not seen since he lived in the Bay Area.. I guess that has been 18 years ... She was so happy to see him.. RUBY designed these wild and wonderful Leopard Capes to go see PEWEE..Between them and my pink boots we got alot of attention.... The Show brought back original cast member LYNNE MARIE STEWART (MISS YVONNE) along with PEE WEE. JOHN MOODY was the original MAILMAN MIKE in the original stage production.... JOSH MEYERS from Mad TV was the Fireman who had the huge hose in the Playgirl Centerfold... Another Mad TV Alumni PHIL LAMAR was COWBOY CURTIS.... In this Production JESSE GARCIA aka "SERGIO" was talking about wanting to audition for "Dance Your Ass Off" and of course one of the dances he does is The PEE WEE to "Tequila" the crowd went wild..... Every time someone said the word FUN on stage .. It was the cue word for the audience to yell and scream.. A blast was had by all....Former Debutante LAURA MILLIGAN was in the Balcony but we did not see each other as she split right after the show ended... ... RUBY and BETH had tickets that they had bought for the show at The Music Box so they were invited to a meet and greet with PEE WEE after the show.. I however was not so lucky ... I had noticed a VIP Party happening downstairs so I found out that it was a Pre- Grammy Party at THE CONGA ROOM. A nice sized lounge which is co owned by Actor JIMMY SMITS..... Luckily I was able to find a fun guy who had a plus one and got in as his guest to get into the VIP area with the much appreciated purple wristband. I was able to get free drinks and mingle with the crowd.. I took photo's with CHRIS DAUGHTRY from AMERICAN IDOL...He was really sweet and very nice.. I had been chatting with REBECCA WILSON on the phone so she did a rap for him... It was lots of fun and I got some Swag from LIPSTICK BAIL BONDS which included Hot Pink Handcuffs... It was about 11:30 PM so I went upstairs to check on the Meet and Greet and it had just ended.. So we went into Hollywood and ended the night at The Mediterranean Restaurant for a late dinner... MIKE & YVONNE FRANKO also went to check out PEE WEE at The Club Nokia and loved the show.. They wanna go again.. I remember seeing PEE WEE on 227 dancing The Pee Wee with JACKEE......It has also been fun being in touch again with RICK E MOTO who originally played with THE PUSH-UPS in the late 70's..
