BABYHOLE GOT RAIDED.
I went to my show, BabyHole, today, after spending a horrible afternoon in court with my stalker, and frustratedly working on my few freelance articles on whatever my broken, obsolete computer will allow me to maybe finish (by the way, I have to hire an attorney tomorrow...any pro bono takers? For the unmedicated schizophrenic stalker case) when my show was RAIDED.
It wasn't my fault it got raided...But it really sucked. Do I get street cred at least?

You're Welcome!
The first installment of my new humorous column is up, if you'd like to read it. I'm writing for Jersey City Independent, which is what all the cool kids in town read.
You're Welcome!

Cory Booker
Last night I met Newark's mayor Cory Booker. He was my second choice. I wanted to talk to Mayor Healy, who was hanging around trying to win back the artist community. He was casually dressed, and looked one wardrobe decision away from wearing a tie-dye shirt.
I just missed Healy, so I was stuck with Cory. I was weirded out by his blue contacts and that he was hanging out at a bar in Jersey City when there was a protest in Newark after 6 people got shot over night, but he is still handsome.
"Hi Cory Booker. My name is Melissa Surach."
"Melissa Surach. That's a good name."
"It was bastardized when my family came to Ellis Island."
"What was it before?"
"Soooraaaaacheeee."
He repeated after me with an exaggerated gesture and his secret service men laughed at him.
"I have two things to ask you. First of all, say hi to Obama for me."
"Will do."
"Secondly, I run a comedy show in Jersey City."
"You know, comedians and politicians have a lot in common, we're both in front of audiences trying to make them like us."
"Except you have money and power."
We laughed.
"Are you going to hang out with Healy?" I asked.
"Yeah, we're going to the Beer Garden."
"Can you ask him about my award? He'll probably know who I am."
He mumbled something and rudely walked away, considering the raport we'd built. I considered going to the Beer Garden to bother them some more, but I was already drunk.

Yesterday's best conversation
My sister and I were at Groove on Grove.
"Why are there so many hipsters in Jersey City?" she asked.
"Do I look like a hipster?" I asked.
"No. You look like you buy your clothes at the dollar store."
It's true!

National Night Out at City Hall
Dear countrymen,
Please join me at the Rally for National Night Out at City Hall in Jersey City.
In the past, Jersey City has sponsored block parties as rallies to combat street crime. This year, the rally will converge on City Hall to combat corruption and political crimes, the most egregious of which is me not getting an award.
I will be at the rally protesting the fact that I have not yet received the award, which I used to ask for politely. Feel free to make signs, like "Who do I have to f***ing bribe to get Melissa Surach an award?" or "If you don't give Melissa Surach an award, I will f**k the s**t out of you." I encourage obsenities.
I will be there dressed in gold body makeup, possibly pretending to be a statue as a means of earning tips/donations for my cause. Steve Fulop, local hearthrob and wonderboy Councilman will speak.
Feel free to ask me for an autograph, or get one from the local superstars like Mariano Vega, Official 4 (Mayor Healy), and others who were indicted/implicated the last week's state wide corruption sweep.
