Last night I had the distinguished honor of performing comedy and emceeing a fundraising event for Le Gente Sports League which is an organization that offers a full spectrum of sports activities for kids in the Pueblo, CO area. It's an amazing organization and last night the keynote speaker was none other than Cheech Marin (of Cheech and Chong fame - as well as TV, film, animation and many other accomplishments.)
What a great evening - and what a great guy!
It caused me to think how we "non-celebs" always seem so surprised whenever we meet someone who is famous and simply assume they are not nice people! Why is that? Maybe it's because we know, deep down, that if we were not careful, we could be jerks if we ever became famous! Who knows. But it was a pleasure to meet Cheech and hear him speak about the positive influences that Latinos have had on the entertainment industry.
It was a great night and I'm very grateful to have been a part of the gala!
