"You spend all your time in a little cubicle"
So not only were we right in front at the Daniel Johnston show, he could have spit on us and most likely did, but we actually had the chance to meet him, handshakes and all. Coming up to the Roxy there was a chubby old man chain smoking and wearing what appeared to be a sweat suit scattered with holes. His hair was messy and those eyebrows, oh those eyebrows. I could have had a field day with those. It would almost be as wonderful as plucking Peter Gallagher’s, ALMOST. This of course was the man everyone came to see. He was very friendly and polite and crazy, which I expected. We overheard him asking another excited fan what state he was in. As a crowd of people formed around him, Adam swears he heard a passerby ask “Why are all those people crowded around that homeless guy?” Oh Daniel, you do look quite homeless and I love you for it.
I must confess my day so far has not been as pleasant as I would have liked. I got some pretty terrible news this morning…
I will be switching cubicles. Quite a sad day indeed. I have made a home here with my 3 pictures on the wall and numerous plastic bags floating around in random drawers (I was attempting to save them for future lunches, obviously they were put to good use.) No longer will I hear the sweet sounds of Gustavo’s Portuguese phone calls. No more will I be able to type ‘bless you’ to Elissa when she sneezes. And the days of having mints and elastics thrown at me by Steven are at an end. I am finishing a beautiful chapter in my life and it hurts, but I know it’s for the best. Goodbye 7E308D, you have served me well.
