 Oh Kati,
     What a magical weekend I have had.  See, the Bob Marley Fest was in town.   Let me tell you about Marley Fest last year first(in case I never did, if I have I'm sorry, hehe).  
     I was just out scorin' courtesy rides on the bus one day.  I wound up at Travis Park dowtown.  I was just standing there eating a hotdog when some kid walks by me, sees my rainbow beanie and asks me if I'm going to Marley.  I hadn't even heard it was in town.  I told him, "Nah, I don't believe in paying for music."  He tells me, "Then sneak in with us."  I thought about it for like a ¼ of a second and I go, "OK!"  
     So bam, I hit Marley Fest.  They were having it at the Sunken Gardens outside theater.  We rode the #8 bus there, went and smoked some weed in these woods closeby and snuck in a big hole in the fence.  I don't know why they've never fixed it.  It's been there for years.  Anyway, I walk through the hole and behold, STONERS EVERYWHERE.  The entire back of the theater, up in all these boulders, were just filled with stoners puffing on weed.  I was in awe.  
     A couple hours passed and it dawned on me, "I need to fly my sign here."  I needed a marker.  Well, the very first girl I asked out of the crowd had a black Sharpie.  Then, I went to some vendor and I asked them if they had an empty cardbourd box.  He looks around and tells me no.  Then, right at the last second he goes, "Wait, I can empty one out for you."  Bam, supplies.  I made up my sign quick.  The same one I had in Berkeley stating all my mission objectives topped off with, "just doin' it for the cause."  
     Off I went showing my sign to all the stoners.  It got an excellent reaction.  Everybody was receptive to it.  I even had this girl smile and tell me, "I know you can do it."  It was later in the afternoon and I realized I would have a lot of trouble flying my sign in the dark.  Well, lucky for me I always had this little light diode hooked to my cariber(same one I had in Arcata, still have/use it).  I was just walking up to people asking them to read my sign and shining the light on it.  Perfection.

     Well, I had been waiting for Marley Fest again all year.  I knew it was in April, but not sure exactly when.  Last week someone told me Marley Fest was on the 3rd!  I was psyched.  
     Hold on, I had a pretty busy weekend scheduled.  I had made it a point to show up at First Friday on St. Mary's.  It's this cool event they have on the first Friday of every month where people sell their crafts and stuff.  I was gonna show up to spread some peace.  I got there around 7pm, but it wasn't too crowded.  They had loud music all over so I said, "Forget it.  I need to tell people my story."
