Boulder, CO

Friday August 20, 2004

     10:13am  I woke up in the house the party was at. I met this thirty year old dude Travis and told him my story.

     10:49am  I woke up at this house like half an hour ago. This party I ended up last night was cool. It's a wealthy house. I drank a little, so I didn't tell my story at all since alcohol isn't good for the storytelling. Actually, I told it to these two guys. When I woke up, I saw this guy walking around and I immediately hit him up for my story.

                     Last night somebody told me, "I am really glad you're doing this."

                     I took a picture of the lake in the backyard.  

     11:49am  Travis ended up giving me a ride back into town. We came to the Co-op.

                     Here's a couple pictures of this Chinese dragon. I'm not sure exactly what day it was on, but it was in Boulder, for sure. 

                     "The corporate revolution will collapse if we refuse to buy what they are selling - their ideas, their version of history, their wars, their weapons, their notion of inevitability. Remember this: We be many and they be few. They need us more than we need them. Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day I can hear her breathing." - Arundhati Roy

                     Oh yeah, at the Co-op, at the juice bar, the guy serving juice told me, "So you're on your way to save the world?" He had seen me flying my sign yesterday. I am known. It's all alignment. Oh yeah, I got another destination from Travis. He told me to go to The Tonic on 10th and Pearl.

                     Me on Pearl Street Mall.  

     12:24pm  Jesus gave me a cigarette at the mall. Thank you, brother. Everybody gets credit.

     1:00pm  Jake rode by on his bike near the courthouse and gave me a dollar for my hotdog. I appreciate it, brother.

     1:21pm  Tara gave me a cigarette in the mall. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     2:52pm  I had a great presentation with this older hippie lady in the mall.

     3:22pm  Alissa hooked me up with some change in the mall. I appreciate it.

     3:32pm  Lori and Mark gave me some change so I can buy some weed. Hehe, I was yelling, "Spare change for some marijuana!"

     3:42pm  Julia gave me some change. I appreciate it, Julia. Everybody gets credit.

     4:57pm  I came with these kids to some park to smoke some weed. Hopefully they'll listen to my story.

                   I had an awesome session with these kids. They smoked me out, which was good, but when I tried to tell my story they wouldn't listen to me at all. They were all bouncing up and down on these things at the playground. I told them, "Screw this, I'm going to go back to the mall while I'm still high and find people who will listen to me." 

     5:12pm  Nuha is hooking me up again at Subway.

     5:17pm  Scored at the Subway once more.

     5:39pm  Al hooked me up with a cigarette in the mall. I appreciate it, Al.

     6:05pm  I asked Adam for a cigarette and he gave me two. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit. I got a light, thanks anyway.

     6:35pm  I'm going to come stand over in front of the Chicago restaurant with my On My Way To Save the World sign.

     7:07pm  I hit these kids up for a story on Pearl Street and they invited me to smoke some weed with them. We're hot-boxing their car in the parking lot. Thanks guys. Everybody gets credit. Thanks for the burn.

     7:15pm  Wow, I just had a great smoking session. We smoked a lot of weed. They told me, "We're glad we got to help you on your journey, Victor." I love it when people know my name.

     7:32pm  I just had a conversation with this really ignorant guy. He was all, "That's communism, that's communism." He walked off.

     8:04pm  I just walked in front of the Hare Krishna people in front of the courthouse. I walked by and they offered me a cookie. Cool, I was kind of hungry.

     8:15pm  Kevin hooked me up with a cigarette in front of the courthouse. I appreciate it, brother.

     8:47pm  Kendall and Colin not only listened to my whole story, she's giving me some money so I can eat. I appreciate it, Kendall. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     8:50pm  I got five bucks from that girl! I'm going to get a slice of pizza.

                   Oh well, it's getting late. I figure I'll just go wherever whichever bus gives me a courtesy ride and find a place to crash.

     9:25pm  Dick is hooking me up with a courtesy ride. I don't know where. I'll find out in a minute. Thanks a lot, Dick. Everybody gets credit.

     9:35pm  Let's see where I end up tonight. I don't know what's going to happen. Let's find out. Hopefully something magical. I shouldn't expect it, though.

     9:51pm  Zack and Jason just hooked me up with some ice cream. I appreciate it, brothers.

                   And Ruben just hooked me up with a dollar! I appreciate it.

     9:56pm  Jason gave me some change too. For the cause.

Next day..
