"A fascist," said Karl, and
landed a lung cookie the size of
a half-dollar- squarely in the
center ofHesfon's star.
\ - .: .
We met DB when he tried to
panhandle change for beer from
us on the way. to one of the few
liquor stores in Hollywood still
open at 1:30 in the morning,
i and decided to buy him a quart
of King Cobra malt liquor.
He told us that he had been
booted out of a nearby resi¬
dence hotel a couple days
before, where he had been-
paying $10 a day for a room,
and had to scrape up $32 to get
his belongings back from the
manager, who was holding
them as collateral.
"Let me show you my
house," saidDB, leading us to
an empty parking lot behind an
appliance shop around the
corner from the liquor store.
He pointed to a washing
machine carton set between a
green dumpster and a crum¬
bling cinder block wall. The
box contained a pillow and a
damp looking blanket.
"That's my bedroom," said
DB, pointing at the box. "That
fence there is my John, and this
is my living room," he said,
making a sweeping motion
around the lot.
Water draining from the roof
of a nearby store from the early
morning acid fog drummed
against the dumpster in a
syncopated beat as the four of
us sat in a circle on pieces of
tom cardboard and sipped our
beer.
"It's actually pretty quiet
here," DB said. "There was a •
shooting back toward Gower a
couple days ago, but I really
don't get messed with much
here, even by the cops." ( ■
He told us that he had moved
out to Hollywood from Queens
the year before to work for a
construction company, but the
winter slowdown had left him
without a job and strapped for
money.
"Yeah," he said. "I'm hoping
to get up enough cash to make
the bus trip back to New
York..."
He stopped, took a, swallow
from his beer and looked at me
with a surprised expression, as
if he had just realized that I had
been sitting in my, spot the
whole time.
"You a Korean?" he said, his
face turning grim.'
"No, I'm Japanese." I said.
"What are you?" . ,
"Irish and black," he said.
"Good mix," I said.'
' "Yeah," he said. "You be
careful though. Some people
won't stop to ask around here. -
Especially after the riots."
"It was pretty crazy out
here," Joe said, his mouth
crammed full of Budweiser and
porky bits. T7 .V .
"Yeah," said DBv^Too \
crazy."
We got up and DB walked
with us across the 101 over¬
pass.
"I know thishtdy who'll let
me camp jit/her place and let
TiTsHower," said DB, turning
down a side street. "You guys
be careful."
