Conversation For Adults

Gina P. is everywhere there is sun in Cleveland, which as it turns out is mostly at Cleveland Flea, better dinner parties, and hipster bars. She comes by the loft and we talk about being Italian, my robot cats, pet sitting - hustle, scam, or both? - her love/lust of Jewish nerds, and my public radio (non-)fame.

DJ Swamp is the Marilyn Manson of turntablism and DJ culture, and his incredible show takes him all around the world. Swamp came by the loft and talked about his years of bitter struggle, making his own big break as a (fake) hip-hop news reporter, why he turned down a gig with Eminem, street-sweeping, classic DJ equipment, playing the Grammy Awards, and why successful people always leave Cleveland.

Marc Face is the owner and operator of Everything By Face, maybe the hottest hair and nail salon in Cleveland. Like me, he's been known to wear a wrap skirt in the summer. I invite him to the loft to talk about the hustle in Cleveland, Kent State, club parties, and how he ended up giving pedicures for a living. He knows my ex, so we talked about HER feet for lolz. My oldest son is here, and he wants ANOTHER cat. Also, Marc and I have a "watch battle" - his toy Apple Watch vs. my Citizen Eco-Drive. Guess who wins.
