The vibe was good this past Monday. There were all sorts of little
things that made it fun, at least for me. I saw some friends who hadn't
been around in a while, met some new people who seemed pretty
interesting, hosted an edition of the Sidewalk Talk Show, and got to
see some interesting performers.
Perhaps
the most interesting was someone who went by the name Awareness. He was
wearing a mask the entire time he was waiting his turn. It was round
and white and held on by a strap around his head. I thought for sure he
would grow uncomfortable at some point and take it off, but the guy was
hard core and kept it on the entire two hours or so he waited and
through his performance. One of his songs was called "I Like Rare
Form," about the band Rare Form, which Awareness seems to like (I
haven't been able to locate a band called Rare Form, at least through
searching the web, although there is a group called In Rare Form-maybe
that's it). Anyway, Ben offered Awareness a show.
