We recently reached a state of altered consciousness at the Pacific Palisades house of the legendary
Cheech Marin. No, no “heavy duty” joints were consumed. Only tacos and booze. See, the legendary
comedian is brand ambassador for a new mezcal called Tres Papalote. Whilst getting three sheets to the wind,
surrounded by his extensive Chicano art collection, we got deep about love, music and socks. We also found
he’s a pretty cool guy to party with. Well, you probably assumed the latter.
