- james's response to dad's email below... james lost 20 bucks at mom & dad's house; today i received this at work:
TO: the most exalted jenny gia page
FROM: joe bertia
MSG: a terrible discovery
This morning when Ramona was looking for the Californian she heard moaning coming from the dirt strip next to the driveway. It was a dirt-covered Hamilton, and when she picked him up he faintly mumbled the word "James." After she washed his face he pleaded sorrowfully that he had to get home to, a wallet? Do you know anything about this Hamilton?

- we played a gig last week at glory days in seal beach. we haven't played for a good long while (me, longer even than james!) & we both got quite tired but barnstormed through since we both are stage stompers who would rather die than give up during a show... james was powerful & when he said he'd just got out of rehab, the audience laughed. still, he told the fireman joke... because nothing's gonna make james turn normal or do what people want bc he is james the original. :) i found out he cheated on break by obtaining an energy bomb, a banana from steve, who always brings a bags of nourishment & noshes on breaks (dad, who always has controlled his food intake, is so admiring of this)... i kept asking for an energy drink but had to wait til after the show, when we drove through taco bell &, tho neither of us were stoned, got munchies of which cheech & chong surely would have approved... it was a good weekend, a solid week, & this weekend's gonna be great, too. :)
