Latinologues Opening Night

Tonight, we went to the opening night of Latinologues , the Broadway play Cheech is directing. It was much better (we didn't think it could get any better) than the preview we went to a few weeks ago. There was more improv and new jokes. We laughed our asses off. People were laughing so hard that they couldn't catch their breath. The actors kept having to take long pauses, waiting for everyone to settle down.

The aftershow party at Havana (46th, betw 6th & 7th) had numerous models and celebs which we could not identify. Check out the footage below and let us know who these people are.

We sat at a table with Latinologues writer RickNajera, Cheech, what we think was Cheech's girlfriend, Geraldo and Geraldo's wife.

Rick Najera is a super nice guy. He's the type of guy you'd go to a bar and drink beers with. I asked Cheech about his current projects, but once again did not want to discuss the termination of the C & C reunion. Cheech Marin is a humble individual, appreciative of everything in his life. All he would say was that "tommy is a unique individual". We genuinely think Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong really wanted to do the movie, but things just didn't work out. Cheech doesn't have anything bad to say about anyone.

We asked Cheech about Senor Dracula, a Spanish version of the film Dracula which he is directing. The film is still being written. Efren Ramirez, the actor that played Pedro in Napoleon Dynamite, appears in the film.


While we were there, we spoke to Cheech about a top secret project we here at Cheech and Chong Dot Com are working on. He was very interested. In mid-November, we will make a formal announcement. There will be tons of fanfare and we think all Cheech and Chong fans will love it.

Other celeb sightings...Rosie Perez. She looks great.
