I've decided that my friend James is probably the best person I know and is a great example of what everyone should strive to become. Saturday, the restaurant he worked at was shutdown by the owner, and he didn't find out until...saturday afternoon. He had just given his parents his last 350$ in his bank account that he owed them. So he had no job and no money. His rent is due this wednesday. Tonight I went out to eat with him and his brother (who payed for his dinner) and in the parking lot we saw a bum, asking for money. James gave the guy his last 3 dollars he had (in quarters) to the guy. How many of us could say we would do something like that if we were in a similar situation? NO money or job, 350$ rent is due in 2 days...and you give your last 3 dollars to a homeless man. Damn. If more people were like that the world would definately be alot nicer place to live.
Tommorow evening I am venturing down to a bar in Atlanta called Lenny's to witness the musical stylings of Gavin Castleton and One Drop. It is a BAR, so the show is 21+ only...my plan is to hang around in the area around 7 o' clock until Gavin And One Drop carry in equipment. HOPEFULLY I don't show up after them because I'm trying to make it look like I'm actually a roadie and HOPEFULLY after I get into the venue (which is have no doubt in my mind I will get in) no one will ask me for my ID that I definately don't have. How much would it suck to drive all the way to HOTlanta, get into a show by carrying keyboards, and then get kicked out? HOPEFULLY this time tommorow night I will be viewing a rediculously amazing concert featuring GAVIN CASTLETON/ONE DROP...
