Reward

I've been going out of my way to be generally nicer lately. No more flipping off little, old ladies in White Castles and the like.

After the Magnetic Field Katrina benefit a few weeks back, I wasWASTED. I stumbled home and along the way I lost three CDs I got athe gig. One I bought from Bazooka Joe, one I won and the other wasthe Von Ghouls disc they recorded at The Skoof Sound Factory. I was bummed.

Saturday I was running around doing errands in Manhattan and while onthe subway a little old Asian lady came up to me to ask directions. I'm fairly certain it was because I was wearing a Superman t-shirt. Anyway, she didn't speak a word of English besides "Six" and washolding a piece of paper that said "South Ferry" on it. I took her from the N&R station over to the the 6 train and gave herwhat little I could in the way of instructions and sent her on herway.

Everything took longer than I expected and I was rushing home at 5:45to meet up with Larry and go BACK into the city for my birthdaydinner. I grabbed a cab from the PATH station back to my house.

Whenwe got to my door, the cabbie mentioned that I had been in his cab afew weeks earlier, very drunk (he did the glass tipping pantomime) and asked if I had a lost a CD. Turns out he had found all the CDs and kept them in his glovecompartment, and gave them back to me.

How cool is that?
