LUPE FIASCO STS9 MAYER HAW THORNE 11/4/16 10/20/16 10/24/16TICKETS RSVP TICKETS RSVP TICKETS RSVPfeatured ERICK GARCIA “VELVO”local Erick Garcia aka Velvo is a local Minnesota DJ whoartist has his eyes on the prize. As a huge fan of electronic dance music, he first had his heart set on progressive house but later on transitioned to dubstep, trap, and moombahton, to name a few. Garcia realized he wanted to be a producer when he began to have the mentality, “If I could’ve done it, it would be like this,” and so the journey began. Not wanting to be labeled as a basic mix artist, he used his instrumental background to continue his growth and love for music. One of his biggest inspirations is DJ Snake because he has the insane ability to mix in hip-hop and rap songs into his sets that are a mix of house and trap. Garcia belongs to La Clinica Recs, an established record label based out of Miami, whose artists have a heavy influence on his music. With Mexican Ameri- can descent, Garcia combines his Latin roots with electronic dance tracks to create a cultural sensa- tion. He is honored to have received support from Skrillex for his remix of, Drop That Low, and a remix of DJ Snake’s, Propaganda. Recognition is well on its way and immensely deserved.

PAGE | 5 BOB SAGET F I L L I N T H E B L A N K S_________ L SI E1VP5ET! _________“ I was given this form and I did the best I could to ll in the blanks. I trust it makes sense. Looking forward to seeing you all the Skyway Theatre on Thursday, September 15th. ” Tickets at: www.skywaytheatre.com/ticketsBob Saget is my name and ___ entertaining people ____ is my game. When I was ___4___ years old I realized I wasfunny. ___My comedically irreverent dad and his brothers ____ inspired me to become a comedian.My favorite memory on Full House is ___ when we had a donkey on the show and he got aroused in front ofthe audience and the entire cast. We tried to distract the kids so they wouldn’t look down at what theaudience was laughing at. It was like wanting to see a family show but instead you get a taste of sseedy bar in Tijuana. ___The most memorable prank played on me was ___ I hate pranks, but one time comedian Garry Shandling toldme and my ex-wife to come to a Halloween costume party. We showed up and were the only peoplein costume. Didn’t enjoy that. To top it off, we were dressed as Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, so we weredouble persecuted. ___and to get back at them ___ I don’t get back at the few pranks pulled on me. It’sbully-ish so I don’t subscribe or find it funny. Funny is funny. Like my dad used to say, “If Jimmy lightshis farts on fire, does that mean you have to too?\"___I love running my social media accounts because___There’s no one changing my intent. And I like that personalconnection with my fans. So weird to say “my fans” but that’s what they call themselves and I appreci-ate everyone who appreciates and enjoys my work and comedy, acting, writing, and all that creativestuff.___Before I go on stage, the number one thing I do is ___ make sure I’ve made a poopoo. Even when I’ve doneBroadway, TV, movies, you wanna be as light as possible, and it’s valuable to be even half a poundlighter before you perform if possible. Last thing you wanna do is take that onto a sdtage or a setwith you. ___When people comment on my risqué stand up I say ___I’ve been a standup since 17 years old and always had abent sense of humor. The Full House and the video show were jobs that I loved and my standup hasalways been my standup. No one would’ve called it risque if I hadn’t done those family shows. Nowa-days, I’m no more risque than Family Guy or South Park. My standup performances I’d say are a “soft”R and my audiences should be 16-60 but unfortunately 21 is usually the age that theatres or clubs letpeople in at. ___The ___first___ joke I told was ___when I was nine and my cousins Eddie and Howie told me a joke a abouta kid eating little candies and an older kid comes over to bully him and says, “What are you eating?”and the kid says, “I’m eating ’smart’ pills.” The older kid grabs the candies, eats a couple and says,“This tastes like rabbit shit!” The younger kid retorts, “See, you’re getting smarter already.” I was nineand got in trouble ‘cause my mom didn’t want me using bad language. And it’s a joke about prankingon top of that. Not a good joke, but you asked….___While lming Entourage I enjoyed ___Working with Doug Ellin, the creator and writer, and the guys in thecast. It was a very fun show to be on. I used to think I was nothing like that character except one time agirlfriend of mine said, “You like that version of you on Entourage.” And I said “no way.” Then I looked

at myself— I was in a black robe, unshaven for days and was smoking a cigar at the pool. I stood PA G E | 6corrected. ____If I were an Olympian it would be in ___Gymnastics where I have to jump over the vault and twirl in the air—___‘Cause ___ I’d land on my head and I’d get to be disqualified, and after I got out of the hospital Icould enjoy whatever country they were in. Just not Brazil. I’m not a fan of water that looks likeScope.___My next endeavor will be ___working out my standup for a new hour special, developing a new TV showfor me for premium cable and acting and directing in a movie called “Jake” that I’m very passionateabout.___I want to go down in history as the guy who ___Was a great father — and only because my daughters are soawesome, and I was a man who helped find a cure for scleroderma. I lost my sister to the disease in1994 and since have been on the board of the Scleroderma Research Foundation (SRFcure.org) andwe have raised almost 40 million dollars for research to help those stricken with this horrible disease.My thoughts on vegans are ____that I have huge respect for them and believe they are correct in their dietof choice, but I have met many who’s skin tone is light gray or taupe.____My preferred cuss word is ____Weiner.____When it comes to politics, I ___ keep my mouth shut ____ because ____there’s so much anger and hate overthe candidates and issues. I have my own personal beliefs and I think it’s not hard to find out where Ilie on most issues as I care about people and the earth and life and goodness in general. I can’t takethe bullying and name calling and hatred _that exists in our world. So many people on this planethave lost their sense of the concept of loving humanity because their lives are and have been sounbelievably horrible. It will forever be a sad problem that upsets me to no end.____My favorite comedian is____Many people. I was friends with and mentored by Don Rickles, RodneyDangerfield and Richard Pryor. They are my Mount Rushmore. I also love Louis C.K., Chris Rock, BillBurr, Jerry Seinfeld, Kevin Hart because of his positiveness and energy…. But I’m also my favoritebecause at 60, I’ve come to love myself and my shrink told me to say that.____If I was a woman I would ___never leave the house. I’d be playing with my parts all day.____The East coast is ___where I’m from and feel like my DNA and family come from ___but the West coast ___ isalso my home and where I love living. I also love the coast of California which is where I am at whileI’m writing this. ____If I could travel through time, I would ____ go back an hour and rewrite my answers to these questions.____and ____I’d also like to be able to go back in history right before horrible things happen to greatpeople and save them before terrible people take them away from us. ____I prefer ___ sex ___over___no sex___ because___my doctor said if I don’t have a release at least every weekI will develop prostate cancer and die... ___My drink of choice is ___berry infused water. I like anti-oxidents. I like Uncle Oxidents too. And Jimmy andSally Oxident. They’re a very nice family.___When I am in the Midwest I expect to see ___Very nice people at my show at my show as well as some cows onthe side of the road on the way to the Skyway Theatre. I may even comp a few cows so they enjoy mystandup as well. Half of my show is comedy music and I know for a fact from experience that cow’slove comedy songs. ___I think my show at Skyway Theatre will be___an incredibly good time with my comedian pal Mike Youngfeaturing. I would love it be like a town meeting, where we can all forget the craziness of the world,forget about the news, and just have a wonderful night, laughing and singing together like a hugeroom full of Keebler Elves on nitrous oxide.____
