Re: La Pinata....uh, I mean La Pena!

Bill,

I caught your act tonight at La Pena--had just seen you last month at Universal City (KP National Diversity Conference).
I was concerned that I might not find you as funny the 2nd time around. Guess what? I laughed even harder this time!
Right on. Great show. Thanks for the laughs.

PS- I wanted to pick up your book tonight, but only had a credit card and was worried it might not go through.
Yes, I pray everytime I hand mine over to a cashier!

Dear Mr. Santiago,

You were very good tonight on Craig Ferguson's show. Smart, funny, and
no need for swearing. After moving furniture and vacuuming much of
today it was a welcome relief to laugh during an otherwise sleepy night.

Sincerely,

Denise Poitras

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the e-mail, and thanks for the great show.

You're so good at connecting with your audience; they seemed to experience your comedy rather than just watch it, and your show had such a feeling of warmth to it.
I love sarcastic, cynical comics as much as the next guy (I'm asking Lewis Black to sit in for me at my son's career day), but you don't leave a Denis Leary show feeling like mankind is all one big happy family. In contrast; not only did I laugh my ass off at your set, but afterwards I wanted to rush home, give my whole family a hug, then sign up for a few volunteer programs. Good stuff.

Thanks again,

-Vernon

Hi Bill!

I'm a big fan of yours, I saw ur special on comedy central one night a couple of yrs ago, con mis primas, and we pissed our pants laughing so hard. I just had to see you live, so we all got lucky enough to go to one of ur gigs at a comedy club in NYC shortly after. It was a great intimate experience, I had messaged you before going and you told me to come see you after the show. I did that and you went backstage and gave me a copy of your special on DVD, I'll never forget it. I make all my friends and family members to sit down and watch that dvd anytime they want to see a good stand up show. They're never disappointed...it's one of those things where we can incorporate so many of your quotes into our everyday lives (bring nuyorican myself) and still crack up.

But enough of the mushy stuff! Take care, I'm going to be ordering a copy of your book and I'll let you know when I finish it =)

hugs & besos - Cyn

PERO OMG when were you at Wellesley?!!
I am so upset I missed you.

I was on youtube randomly surfing and being the huge nuyorican I am, I typed in "puerto rican comedy".

I stumbled upon your spanglish and I absolutely loved it. I then emailed it to my only other Puerto Rican here at Babson College, then made him watch it with me.
I was home in NYC for the weekend and I showed my parents, my mom was laughing hysterically. My father is a serious white castle man, when my older siblings were young he tells me stories of the 10 cent burgers LOL
