I dunno about Genius, but thanks Steve! 

I'm honestly not even sure where to begin, as I'm still kind of awestruck and obviously not the best writer. 

A couple of nights ago I had the pleasure of being introduced to Marky Ramone through my friend Karen, who grew up with him.

I have to say it's always rad (and rare) when you meet one of your childhood/teenage heroes and they turn out to be as cool as you would have imagined them to be.   

One of the most down to earth cats, I've had the pleasure of meeting and chopping it up with in all my years. 

Old School Brooklyn through and through!

He even gave me some of his killer Marinara Sauce! 

Also had the honor of setting Marky up with several pairs of PF Flyers as he said he'd worn them as a kid growing up in Brooklyn and was stoked to be rocking them again.   (Yeah.. This is going somewhere.... Keep an ear to streets and an eye on the web.) 

Later in the evening, I got to hear some of my favortie DJ's and closest friends, Mikey Ratt, Juliancito and Migs spin Killer tunes and then listen to Marky KILL IT with a ripping selection. 

Thank you Karen and Gary! And congratulations Mick for 10 years of running the best damn bar in all of SD! TOWER BAR!

(Marky said "it reminded him of CB's back in the day". Thats one hell of a compliment.) 

And thanks Marky for being one of the coolest Brooklyn cats left on the planet. 

HOLY SHIT! I get to DJ with Marky Ramone!
