Brain Drain

I had a strange night last night. First I was working on my computer, with my television on. When I noticed the on the local news a live remote from outside my house. It was about an episode where there was a some tension with some people that live on the top floor of my place and they instigated some drama with people down stairs watching the naked bike race. Which was an experience itself. There’s something strange about seeing yourself watch tv, on tv.

Then, as I was getting ready for bed. I get a message from Sarah about the fact that Twitter was a buzz about a free show a few blocks from my house at midnight. It was to be Dave Chappelle doing the show. It seemed so random that it could be true. It’s Portland after all. I decided that I would keep track on twitter and a web cam of the place outside he was planning on playing. By the time of 12:30 am, it looked like it might be a hoax. Then finally people started saying they saw him. So, I decided I would forgoe the sleep I was desiring and go check out this social media spectacle. I couldn’t hear a thing he was saying. It was a really cool vibe there. I am glad I took the time to participate.
