Where I Have Been Part 5

Strange ramblings, and now Jesus is answering callers. And like always, for those of you not up on the info, the callers to this show are very intelligent, but trying and testing. Jesus is getting kind of a little snippy, but he’s holding his own. Not doing too bad a job there…er…Jesus.

{A few days later}

Jesus is over, word world is on for the son, and it’s been a few days.

After the wedding I went home, the long road 154 shucking and jiving, and I thought, what should I do? For the website that is. I create and create, yet I need a zinger or twelve for the book to be any good or the least bit successful. So whats next? What’s the ticket?

After the going home and the sleeping and resting and recuperation, I received a call from a friend that resides in Hollywood. His birthday was coming up, and mine had passed, so he was calling to wish me a belated happy birthday and I wished him one as well. He told me of his brothers wedding {is it in the air or what?} in Florida on an island. Yes, an actual island in the tropical waters of the south, with a helicopter to whisk away the blissfully wedded couple into the air and their honeymoon. So then the friend says he’s having a birthday party at a pub down there, called the cat and fiddle actually, and I ask if that’s an invitation. He says sure and I start the work on how to get down there.

So, I call up the Ventura recently married bliss folks and check to see if she wants the shirts. She says yes and I’m in like Flynn for the party.

The drive down was wonderful and relaxing, and when I got to the buddies in Hollywood, things were stressful. He wanted to get there as soon as possible and he thought his significant other was taking too long. Possibly he was, but I didn’t really notice. I changed my shirt, to a better spiral, and pestered him to change to the shirt I had given him {a totally bitchin looking bulls eye pattern} and we went out the door.

We arrived about seven minutes past the time that the party was starting and there was one person already there. A sweet girl, she actually checked out the site while she was there and for that I am greatly appreciative. So we sat down, took over the back right side of the place, and the folks wishing birthday greetings began to come one by one, sometimes in twos and threes, for the party to celebrate another year for my friend.

Every person that came through the door was given my shpeel, what the shirts were made of, the weight, the dyes used, all of it. And it was funny, the reactions were always different. Some would kind of settle back and a small smile would play across their faces. The others, they would look slightly perturbed and irritated that they had to deal with this freak in color. Those folks though, I made sure they got it ALL. Because of that angle though, I ended up selling two shirts at the party and got a lot of cards into a lot of hands. They were all gamers, most playing a live action vampire game, called a LARP{Live Action Role Playing} and were there to be able to play the very next day. Which was a disappointment for me as I needed to be gone very early in the morning to make it back for a company picnic with the Fam. So it was hang out and drink for the evening kid of thing, which was fun as I hadn’t done that in quite some time.
