ULTRA Cool
Hey guys, hope you all had a pretty good weekend. On Saturday night, I had the chance to check out Joel Plaskett in a small little bar in Hamilton. He's one of those musicians that came out of that East Coast music scene the same time that bands like Sloan and The Super Friendz did, if you haven't heard of any of these guys, you should check out their stuff sometime.
After the show, I wanted to quick say hi to Joel and introduce myself and tell him that I enjoyed the show. Turns out that he knew who I was and had seen my show, which was kinda cool. He is a really nice guy and I'm glad I got to meet him and listen to him play, he sounded great!
Not like the guy who was honking and screaming at me a few minutes ago in a parking lot. The guy pulled out and almost hit me and then got all mad like I had done something wrong. Whenever I find myself in these kinds of situations, I always try to stay ultra cool and basically screw with people for my own amusement as opposed to stooping to their level and yelling right back at them or giving them the finger which is often what you really want to do in these situations. When I rolled down my window, I'm sure this idiot thought I was going to start screaming back at him, but I just said sorry and kept asking him if he knew where the Indigo Book store was because I couldn't find it. I was told that it was around here somewhere. I kept telling him and the more he yelled at me to move my car so that he could pull out and get to where he was going (in such a rush), the more confused I pretended to be as if I thought he was yelling out directions to me that I wasn't quite following. Some people are just angry, fustrated people, I guess, that's just the way they are!
Maybe that's why Todd and the morning guys on 102.1 lash out at people like me sometimes for no reason at all. They are just angry people who feel more comfortable being mean than they do being nice.
Maybe I should be handling this situation the same way I handled angry man in the silver car today. I think it's hilarious to hear that some of you are calling the radio station and sending them emails, and I guess I need to figure out how exactly I'm going to deal with this situation.
By the way, The Super Friendz later became The Flashing Lights and they appeared on my show in season one. It was very cool!

See ya guys, stay ultra cool.
