Why I Am


I was walking from my spot near the stage over to one of the vendor tables, when there walking by himself was Jeff Coffin.

I said hi, oh my god you rock, and asked if he had time for a quick picture. He said yes.

Then I looked and realized that Sam was holding my camera. "Oh crap I don't have my camera!"

Jeff looked at me and said, "Don't you have a phone? Everyone has a camera on their phone." Busted, I took my humble Blackberry out of my pocket and said, "I have a Blackberry, it doesn't have a camera."

He took his Blackberry out of his pocket, held it up next to mine, it was the same kind, and said, "Mine doesn't have a camera either." Then we just laughed.

A couple standing nearby took the picture for me. I said thanks to Jeff and shook his hand. After he walked away, I wondered how there wasn't a crowd at that moment right there, but there wasn't.

Just me and one of the coolest dudes ever to suck on a reed. And a really kind couple with a camera at the ready, or there would have been no photographic evidence of such.

Awesomeness.
