    Possible, taking Gerry's class was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I followed my instincts when a fellow actor friend of mine put up her standup set on IG and I asked her who she learned her craft from - she pointed me to this school with a glowing recommendation. She was right on all accounts. She said, "Gerry and Heather will make sure you get on that stage with your best work by the end of these 10 weeks". Check. She said, "they care so much about your work, you will know". Check. She said, "The cost is worth every penny". Check. Professionally, this class gave me the practice ground needed to understand the life of a standup comedian. The 10 week course is perfectly designed to get you to practice the workshopping, writing, reviewing, testing and retesting required for a pro-standup comedian. Personally, I felt seen, understood and empowered in this course. I had class with Heather. She is a courageous and sincere teacher. While she is incredibly skilled in the craft of writing jokes (which she will teach you whether you are ready or not), she was also generous in guiding us over calls and texts between classes. She's got space for your ugly, skill for your lack-there-of-it and the grit to get you past the finish line (the show) - I def honor her as one of my gurus in entertainment. She will know how to handle you. Love, Nabila.

    Unbelievable experience. Gerry, Heather and the other classmates gave me the confidence to take standup from an idea to an actual freaking thing I do now. Forever grateful. If you're reading this, stop and just sign up. You won't regret it!

    Bravest thing I've ever done!

    Gerry is the most loving, smart, hard working, joy seeking comedy teacher on earth! This class made me love, learn, and laugh harder than any class I've ever taken. And the community Gerry helped us build together during class will last forever!

    I took this CMSP riding course from July 25-28. It was one pure classroom day a few hours in length…read morefollowed by two days of half riding range and half classroom. The classroom part takes place at the Bartels' Harley-Davidson's and we had a real cool bonus bit before class started that included a chance to practice shifting on a Street 500 that was setup to not actually move as well as a demo on how to pickup your dropped bike. John Sosebee was very knowledgeable and made the content very engaging and enjoyable and he was able to answer all our questions and offer good advice. And don't fret about the written test, pay a little attention and you'll be just fine. Allan was our instructor on the riding range and he was excellent as well. He had everything setup and ready to go plenty early (which is really early since we were set to begin at 7am). He also had plenty of extra gear for riders that may not have had everything already. He helped make sure that the motorcycle we sat on had the best seat height possible so we were all comfortable. While the temps were pretty high, the breaks were appropriately timed and he was extremely patient and offered lots of advice throughout the entire day. The only way this course could have gone better would be if the weather co-operated and gave us a cold cloudy day, but not much you can do about that. Highly recommended.

    I had an awful experience with their motorcycle school. the classroom study was fine, but the…read moreactually riding part was abysmal. The main instructor taught us like he was a military drill seargent. He was actually yelling and screaming at us when we didn't do things properly- then shaking his head and looking away In frustration. Most of us did not pass- understandably- it's hard to gain confidence in a new skill when someone is so impatient and overly critical Of you. I wrote to the owner twice, to see if I could retake the riding portion (for free since I had already paid $350) and did not get an answer until I repeatedly called the showroom. I was given permission to drive down to the range to retake the second day- only to be turned away as they needed an additional instructor for me being added to the class. I gave up and will be taking the class elsewhere- I just wish I could get my money back because of this horrible experience.

I found all of this in Light. He provides his guidance over 4 consecutive days in 2hr lessons and I really felt after the classes that I had learned not only the fundamentals behind Vedic meditation but why it has such a positive impact in one's life and what to expect initially as a beginner meditator. I came out of the classes eager to meditate twice a day and I have not only consistently done it, but I look forward to my meditation sessions. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to meditate on their own and be able to understand meditation and its benefits.

Light makes the mystical journey of mediation so simple and easy to learn. I can say with out hesitation you will learn to meditate and it will change the way you look at the world. I learned 3 months ago and have been mediating 2x a day for 20 minutes ever since. I have had many friends compliment me recently on how calm and relaxed I am and also how great my energy is! Mediation works and Light is an amazing teacher.

    Attended the Premiere Exhibition of Dotan Saguy, "Venice Beach, Last Days of a Bohemian Paradise"…read more If you have lived here for 40 years or so and spent time anywhere near this famous landmark, you will recognize the cast of characters portrayed in this lineup. The reception was lovely, well attended, photos beautifully lit, artist easily engaged. He plans to capture the essence of homeless transition to contributing community members. What a profound concept and incentive for others to recognize progress! I was overjoyed with this photo collection as I have many exceptional memories of skating, shopping and sunning on Venice Beach. There are currently rumors that newly enacted regulations will completely transform the locale and eliminate the local 'color' of wild, crazy, unimaginable existence not found elsewhere. Perhaps this is needed due to the area's excessive homeless situation. Despite the many issues facing Venice, I found this celebration a fine tribute to it's unique entertainment via Mr. Saguy's black and white compositions. Thank you to Venice Arts for hosting such a fine opening! High recommend for an easy visit, parking was actually easy, free, nearby despite being a summer Saturday evening. Enjoy!
