WHERE: Monroe / washington
CD's Sold: 1
Temp: High 10, Low 0, feels like -6
If I die today - Nathan- Take care of Phil.
FORGOT TO BLOG! I have zero time! Meeting Andrew Marchetti for lunch in an hour -
I just looked at the weather - and - part of me doesn't know if I'm ready for the cold that this day will be - the other part is screaming "YOU ARE A VIKING! PUT YOUR HORN HAT ON MAN UP" - so - I think I'll be alright.
2 more days until the bank deposit - 97 dollars to go. Two very, very cold days are ahead of me.
Gotta Go! Update tonight!
EDIT:
Man - what a day. I got kicked out of Monroe after 40 minutes and was bumed. BUT - I headed to Washington - got a spot for an hour and made almost 35 bucks! Then I jamed with the the drummer that gave me the spot for an hour, made another 15 with a CD sale. So - Poof - in two hours - I had my 50 bucks. Then I played at Monroe from another hour, hour and a half - and made the other 24.
Joe Severino. Is that somebody important? This guy at Washington gave me a dollar - then his buddy gave me his leftover Parmesean Chicken and Mushrooms (Which, I ate about 20 minutes later - and - was just - INCREDIBLE). When I asked their names - the one said john, the other - Joe - and then John, like I was supposed to be impressed - said, Severino - Joe Severino - Not knowing who that was - I replied with a stunned ohhhhh! Welllll Nice to meet you - MR. Severino - and they laughed. So - He's somebody - I just don't know who.
Haywood - I met a man from Georgia named Haywood today. HAYWOOD. Is that not the coolest name ever? I mean, surely unfortunate on the middle school playground - but - Aside from that. Amazing.
He heard me playing harmonica, came over, dropped a dollar, and said, "Man, you really gotta get down to Georgia. P Street. Man, you'd kill it"
I was playing this song I'm working on - that - doesn't have a shape yet - just 3 chords, and harmonica - and - is definitely about a place. Yesterday - It was Georgia - A place I've never been outside of the Atlanta airport when I was 10 and transferring planes on my way to San Fransisco with my family. Today - it was about Iowa - The place I grew up. I changed it because I have, just a tad, more experience there.
But - maybe it was a sign. Maybe it needs to be Georgia. Maybe that's what Haywood was trying to tell me.. .
Songs play out in really random ways - and - I'm fairly superstitious about them. That's why I can't finish the song I started on my stolen guitar - Seems wrong to play it on Ol' Red.
So - we'll see - Maybe it will be Georgia. Then again, maybe tomorrow it will be about the Sahara Desert. You never know with these things.
On an ending note - I received an anonymous donation today. I know who it was, but they asked to remain anonymous. - I'll fill you in tomorrow morning - But - suffice it to say, it's game-changing.
Love in bushels and stacks of bushels,
Ryan
