The Lo Zone

A groovy place in cyberspace run by author Lolita Files. Come on in. Bring some Pepsi.

 
Lo Fun Fact #1
"Lolita Files" is my real name. It is not a pen name, as incredible as that may seem. There are plenty of Files family members and people who have known me for years capable of validating this. As for the "Lolita" part, my mother named me after the movie based on Nabokov's book, although she saw or read neither. To this day, she has no idea what a "Lolita" is.
Lo Fun Fact #2
I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes. If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Mr. Chicken (my favorite spot in Cleveland) and a pair of Christian Louboutins.
Lo Fun Fact #3
Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi (preferably Pepsi Jazz Caramel Cream). Better yet, how about not show up at all?
Lo Fun Fact #4
I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay?
Lo Fun Fact #5
I love the internet!!! I love communicating through the internet!!! You can e-mail me and odds are I'll e-mail you right back (if I'm not in the middle of a major project). Makes up for my hangup about the phone, doesn't it? See, I'm not so bad after all!!!
Lo Fun Fact #6
I can't stand IMing. Please don't IM me. You will get the cold shoulder. I don't like giving people the cold shoulder, so please don't put me in that position.
Lo Fun Fact #7
I have four five six wonderful, slap-happy dogs, a bird (some kind of dove/pigeon mix), and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs, bird, and cat, we'll be instant friends. If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five six dogs, a bird, and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond.
LoZone Celebs now on DVD
Tuesday, February 13, 2007
As I was enjoying one of my favorite jaunts to Blockbuster, I couldn't help but notice that Eric Jerome Dickey's novel "Friends and Lovers" was available on DVD on the New Release wall; the stageplay version.

If you are like me and haven't read the book (sorry Eric) or seen the stageplay, here's your chance.

I'm just glad to see the variety of media that offers the work of African-American writers and entertainers increasing. You will also be able to see another Lo Zone favorite, Mel Jackson staring in the release, along with Miguel Nunez, Leon, Monica Calhoun and Maia Campbell.


I tried to get a copy several times this weekend and still haven't had any luck, so it must be pretty darn good. With the original story done by Eric and this cast of actors performing in the play, I wouldn't expect anything less.
