Miguel — Photos + Review | The Plaza Live Orlando (Sold Out) | March 29, 2018

I’m in my sister’s rental car at Mills and Robinson. It’s a black Mustang convertible. My 12-year-old nephew asks out-of-the-blue, “what’s an orgasm?” While I’m trying to catch my breath from laughing, here’s the answer I should have offered —

Ladies, if you feel like moving, be free!
Fellas, you too, but don’t touch … unless you have permission.

“May I have permission?” is met with a smile and hips.

I’m sipping Sweetwater 420 and the person next to me faints. For real. Right at the beginning of “Coffee” — “I wish I could paint our love …” Damn. She’s alright. Damn. I might be next.

My lips meet my dates’. Thanks Miguel, this is your fault.

And it turned into “Coffee in the morning …”
