The Mole Report: From Cuba, with Love....

Greetings....I am the Mole!

Sounds like the beginning of a James Bond flick you thought you might have missed on TNT's 007 week.....But not to worry, it's just how I spent that last couple of weeks with the family after "The Eyes" have temporarily shut, but rumored to be opening yet again for a tour beginning next year....But that is yet another adventure. For now, here is my report on our own little communist friends that ALSO reside in North America!

I've got to admit that my knowledge of Cuba and the Cuban people had been limited to repeated viewings of The Godfather Pt. 2, Scarface, and I Love Lucy reruns...But after spending time there, I come away with a new found respect for the people and the island (yes, I admit, I wasn't even sure it was an island 10 days ago!)..... I'm not sure if I'm ready to suit up in Army Green fatigues and sit along side the legends of Fidel and Che, but I am growing a beard and brought back some Cuban Cigars and plan on giving them a try with the guys while we plan the a new revolution of the Cat Club......we'll see what happens after the cigars.....

The Cubans dance amazingly, yet are not allowed in the same clubs as the tourists....sort of like Footloose (and you thought Patrick Swazey and Cuba had nothing in common!) The Cuban people are surprisingly optimistic even though they have basically been "sent up to their room without dinner by their parents" for over 40 years....You really DO feel like you've stepped into a bit of a time warp....Cubans drive no car that was built before 1959, but that's okay, because they have all the coolest 50's American Classics! Ironic? Yes!....Plus, the fashion, colors, weather and basic good nature of the people make you feel like you are on the set of a Michael Jackson music video (not a Michael Jackson private video....bummer.....)

Soooooo....that's a little of how I've been staying busy during the break in The Eyes of Alice Cooper tour...but not to say that's it's just been global traveling, eating, and experimenting with facial hair......no...... that is just been about all there is to say.....Dammit! Say something!.....

Oh yeah, we've been busy bustin' our asses to get the Roxie77 CD completed and ready by the beginning of early 2004. The dream of watching the Hilton/Olsen sister 4-way and having Roxie77 out by Dec.25th is just a little bit more then I think any of us could handle, so trust me.....we'll get the Roxie77 out to you ASAP and you'll have to keep combing the Internet for the Hilton/Olsen Photoshop miracle.

Also, in other AC news, major congrats going out to the Godfather of Glam for getting his well deserved Hollywood Star in December....you know that's a photo op I can't miss......And by the way, I really hope to see some of you out there at the Christmas Pudding that Cheryl Cooper and Alice put on with the Solid rock foundation in Arizona this coming Dec. 19th I believe it is......

And what about you local yokels, or anyone one visiting lovely La-La Land sometime in the next month....feeling lonely? Well, come and get just a bit more lonelier at the Cat Club on any given Thursday where the Usual Suspects are playing the Usual Set List but having an Unusually good time (Usually at your expense!)......

So I've filled up my quota of using the word "Usual"....and basically tapped my late night brain out and must now go watch a Jenna Jameson "self-help" video to take a step back and reflect on what the hell I just wrote!...

In the meantime, have the best Holiday Season and thanks for all the emails and kind words and over all support in a time when even though my football team sucks and it would take more then a Beautiful Mind to figure out how to mathematically get into the playoffs, I'm happy as hell to watch the game with Lennon, win or lose, 'cause life's good....and sometimes it takes going to another place to experience their world and what they have and don't have to really appreciate everything you've got right here at home!....

Peace, Love, and The Olsen Twins,

Roxie...
