9:19am Be sure to download Black Like Me. I don't know the author.
Be sure to download Prairie Home Invasion. The one with the plastic Jesus.
11:06am I went to the store across the street to see if they sold rollies and they didn't. I walked all the way to the BP and I bought me a pouch of rollies and some snacks. On the walk back this guy recognized me. He went, "Hey man, I saw you the other day with a Fuck Bush shirt on. I knew I had come to Madison for some reason." At first I wasn't going to tell him my story, but then he brought up Ishmael. Yeah, that's my friggin' bible. He asked me, "Have you ever heard of Ishmael by Daniel Quinn?" I told him, "Hell yeah, I'm reading that right now for like the third or fourth time in a row. It's my traveling book." I thought, "Alright, this guy is worthy of my story." His name is Johnny Firefly and he says he's on YouTube.
11:35am I just ran into Raven and hit him up for my story. He was all, "I was hoping you'd have a story for me. What would be the point if you just walked by." I rapped my story to him over by the fence company place. I gave him my website.
12:11pm I didn't tell you I hit State Street already. I went in the Jimmy John's and took a piss. I am tempted to steal a roll of toilet paper. Ahh, I don't want to weigh myself down. I'll steal it when I leave. I came to my trusty corner at the Walgreen's right before the school. I'm just letting people see me. I don't have any flyers. I'm wearing my WPTMJ shirt so I don't have to fly my sign today. I'm going to hit people up for my story as they are walking by.
12:20pm I fished some girl out of the crowd and she listened to part of my story. She stopped listening after I said they didn't call them peace pipes for nothing. Anyway, she took my website and she's going to read it. Be sure to sign my guestbook.
1:18pm Another girl walked by and asked me if I was the contemporary Johnny Appleseed! She didn't have time for my story. I gave her my website.
Eric, the guy I just took a picture of, at the end of my story he volunteered me five dollars! Yummy Buffet, here I come. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.
In the end Eric told me, "I was so inspired by your story. I'm going to give you a five spot."
2:31pm They pressure-washed all that STOP THE WAR
chalkings in front of the Urban Outfitters. I think I've mentioned that guy who does that. Anyway, he chalked it up anew! The manager came out and he started yelling at him. He all wrote, "P.S. Will not stop chalking!"
Then he left getting scared the cops would come. He ended up hooking me up with his big box of chalk! I quickly grabbed one and wrote PEACE THROUGH WEED and havethisbook.com.
I took a picture of it. I'm going to stand here and wait for people to walk by who will listen to my story.
Some pretty girl.
6:09pm I hung out with this college girl Jenny all day.
I told her my story on State Street and then we went on a walk to smoke weed. We found this cool place
by the lake
and smoked. Then all of a sudden she asks me if I was hungry. Cafeteria! We went to the campus store and she let me get some groceries. She told me not to worry about it, that it was her dad's credit card.
7:39pm Be sure to download American Pictures by Jacob Holdt.
9:30pm Be sure to look up Wingnut Dishwasher's Union on MySpace. Suggested by Abbie Banks.
9:32pm I had a great time tonight. See, when I first got here I got this flyer to this punk show house. This girl Abbie, I think she was from Vermont, she's been touring around with these two other guys just taking pictures of punk houses. She's published a Punk House book. It was a pretty good little presentation at this old frat house, this co-op. Before she started her thing I got to tell all the people there my story. I had like a six-person audience.
Whole Odyssey and everything. Everybody was cool. Nobody interrupted my story. I'm going to walk back to Willie Street.
