So, take away the knowledge that, somewhere in Beverly Hills, there’s a bathroom that’s only been used by me, and Don Cornelius.

It looked like him. It was very strange. For the most part he keep to himself. He had his place on the dance floor every week, and he was out of there before midnight when the place would start to get crowded.

I’d go early so I would have some room to move around and there wasn’t as many people around. So I was usually out on the dance floor when he was.

I dig this dude.

He was enjoying himself and he didn’t pay any one no mind. It just felt a little creepy with him asking me if I wanted to dance with the puppet.

I know I am going to regret asking…what did puppet dude look like?

He was an average looking guy, about 6ft with gotee and glasses. He would wear suspenders sometimes, and always had his pants pulled up high.
