Transient love

Worked a party last night at Ellis - "Hellish" - Island last night until 3 am; some bash for liquor distributers. Rental of the island, ferry to ship the people over, our crew, 150 techies to run the state-of-the-art video and sound, 6 professional dancers, a Captain Morgan look-alike, 2 bands, 10 24-karak gold statuettes, 5 courses, 165 different brands of booze, fireworks over the Statue of Liberty... Estimated cost? $8 million. The cost of my brokedown, broken-ass back? Priceless.

A homeless guy stopped me yesterday. Youngish, dredlocks, beat up guitar case. Very "Shouldn't you be in Berkeley?" look for a hobo.

Homeless guy: "Can you spare 50 cents?"
Me: "Sorry, I don't have any cash on me."
Homeless guy: "Oh. Well, do you want to hang out?"

We're getting married next week.
