Boulder to Denver, CO

Sunday June 25, 2006

     8:36am  I just woke up. Man, I am sore as hell. I got to sleep on Alicia's couch. I crashed out hard. I got a little bit of weed from that dude Kurt last night. I am going to try and find Alicia's pipe.

     10:49am  John, behind the Denny's on a motorcycle, just hooked me up with a cigarette. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit.

     1:52pm  I haven't made an entry in a long time. I've just hung out at Alicia's and Joanna's. I had all these projects to do in the morning. I had to hang up some clothes to dry. We got soaked in the hail storm yesterday. Kent and Joanna went to Denny's for breakfast and brought me back three pancakes. Right now I am going to Pearl Street and hang out there. I might as well go to Denver tonight so I can get back to Paonia tomorrow. I have to get my stuff in Commerce City tomorrow, so I might as well be in Denver.

                   I got a courtesy ride on the bus too. Nice bus driver Dave.

     2:19pm  Patrick was nice enough to let me roll a cigarette on Pearl Street.

     2:25pm  Avery just hooked me up with some change for a joint.

     2:33pm  I am telling Avrey my story. avreygross@yahoo.com

     2:56pm  Avrey: "If you find yourself in Delta, right outside of Paonia, there's a place called The Creamery Center for the Arts. It is built in an old creamery building that's been renovated. The lady who runs the place is Linda Tolis. She's a very kind woman.

                   Avrey again: "The Essene Gospels of Peace. It wasn't included in the Catholic bible after about the fourth century A.D. It is being preserved by the Nestorian priests to this day. It is translated directly from Aramaic, which is the language Jesus probably spoke.

                   I've got Avrey's mom's number. I'm going to call her Wednesday or Thursday.

     3:13pm  Hell yeah, I had a badass presentation with that guy Avrey, in front of the Daily Camera, my old spot. I'm doing my, "Spare change for world peace? Man, nobody wants world peace!" It's funny.

     3:15pm  Candice is being nice enough to give me some change.

     4:02pm  I am on the bus back to Denver.

     5:00pm  Denver. I have been reading my stop-smoking book. Salazar, who met me in Boulder years ago, recognized me. Thanks for making contact.

     5:10pm  Jumped on the Free Mall Ride.

     5:21pm  I am on the 16th Street Mall. I'm not sure what I am going to do. I'll hang out and tell my stories. Spare change for world peace? Man, nobody wants world peace!

     5:35pm  Justin hooked me up with some change on the mall. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks..

     6:02pm  What a wonderful presentation I just had in Downtown Denver. The only guy who had given me change when I was asking. Right when I got to the marijuana part he asks me, "Wanna go smoke?" He even kicked me down a little afterwards. I got some believers in Denver. Like I say, I am greasing the evolution-machine. It's stuck.

     6:10pm  Hell yeah, another great presentation! These three girls walked by. I didn't get too far, but they were all excited. Got some believas. I am having fun tonight. Oh yeah, right in the middle of my presentation this guy walks by and says, "Hey, it's you! You got in some fight with this guy in Colorado Springs. That was over a year ago, and you're still doing this. Is it going to be ready soon? I told him yes, and he said that's what I said last time he asked me years ago. I am having fun tonight. Spare change for world peace?

                   Man, I just had the most wide-eyed beautiful girl listen to my story. Through her friends and everything. Her friends stopped listening to me, but her eyes were locked on mine. She was real pretty. When I was almost done, one of her friends asked her, "You haven't said anything at all?" The girl said, "I am listening, like I am supposed to. That's how you learn." She knows, she knows.

     7:28pm  Right now I am talking to Nicky and his friend. earlremz@yahoo.com

     7:57pm  Guess who I just ran into. Pixie! This girl who had seen me in Berkeley when I flew my sign on Telegraph. I think I might have some emails of hers logged. How cool. People are recognizing me left and right. It's like the fifth time that's happened today. Downtown Denver.

     8:06pm  Good presentation with Pixie's friends. napalmpixi@yahoo.com jehosaphat66@hotmail.com randomemailaddress@hotmail.com

     8:33pm  Matt, who after listening to my story very attentively, is letting me roll a cigarette. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     8:58pm  This girl came up to me and tried to sell me a burrito. I gave her my line and Matt, who was closeby, is getting me one.

     9:45pm  I am talking to Mary, beautiful Mary. She's from Texas too. She's a Houstonite. meredith.beaumont@sbcglobal.net

     10:26pm  I had another glorious presentation. I was just standing in the mall looking for people to tell my story to. I'm just asking random people. Everybody was ignoring me. I spot this beautiful girl sitting on a bench reading a paper. Thirty three year old Meredith. I walked up to her and hit her up for my story. I told her that it was more interesting than what she was reading, I promised. Man, this girl was the most beautiful girl listening to me. She jumped at every little point I made. She said that she was from Houston and that she had to go catch a plane. What a beautiful girl she was. I am having so much fun. I'm going to find someone else to tell my story to.

     10:39pm  I'm talking to roll-call? Katie, Spark and Raven. I am telling them my story tonight in Downtown Denver. rainyday163@aol.com watertiger6@hotmail.com firekeeperswolf@aim.com

     11:02pm  This girl Vivian hooked me up with a whole pack of cigarettes. I just asked her for one.

     11:27pm  I am talking to Analisa and Jessica. lil_ik_22@yahoo.com

     11:52pm  I am having yet another great presentation tonight. Talking to Jennifer and Lynx. stonergirl162004@yahoo.com sweetsexylovechild@gmail.com 303-824-9091

     12:05am  My friend from Texas Jennifer has some input she'd like to give. "Did you hear me talking to that tree sitting at the window next to me? Umm, I couldn't understand the rest of the rhyme on my recorder. Be sure to email Jennifer and ask her.

     12:50am  Chadwick hooked me up with a cigarette on the mall. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     1:00am  I'm talking to Tony. tonys2dogs@yahoo.com

     1:04am  I just got invited to somebody's house to crash.

     1:14pm  Moses was nice enough to give me a cigarette. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

                    I have an awesome update to make. Earlier I met this girl named Jennifer. She's from Texas. She's a twenty six year old cute little short-haired girl. I told her about how I sneak in to the convention center and crash there. I invited her. Jennifer asked me if her friend could come, some black thug dude. Then we were walking towards the center, almost to it and I craved a cigarette to smoke at the squat. I told them I wanted to walk back to 16th street and bum a cigarette. Good thing too. Jennifer and the dude took off to a different squat to see if some guy was there or not. Jennifer told me she'd be back soon. I stood out on the mall waiting for her for a long time. I stood up and these two guys walking behind me complimented my walking stick. I tried to tell them my story, but they were heading to the bar. At first one of the guys asked me if I needed any money. I said, "Sure, if you can spare it." Then he asked me where I was sleeping tonight and I told him I had a room at the convention center. He said, "Give me my three bucks back." I told him about my secret room and he said I could crash at his house. He said, "I'm leaving around two, so if you're still out here you can crash at my house." I thought Jennifer was not showing up, so when Tony comes out of the bar I start following him to his car. All of a sudden I hear Jennifer yelling. Tony didn't mind her tagging along. At the house I was telling my story to Tony and his friend and I found out Jennifer knew computers. Hmm, should I follow the signs? I am going to end it with Carol. I'm not going to wait anymore. I'm going to put my webpage up without her. Anyway, we came over to the house and Tony smoked us out like crazy. I'm going to get to check my email on his laptop and jump in the shower. I wonder what the sleeping-arrangements will be like. I wonder if Jennifer will let me cuddle with her.

Next day..
