Yo,
So I just wrote this e-mail in the banter that Nikias, Omar, Koger, and Tommy have each day, and figured it would make for a solid first quick story (or dumpling if you will).
"Saturday night involved seeing one of my top 5 concerts ever (The Cat Empire) while meeting a bunch of australian people and dancing a lot while being very intoxicated. After the show while leigh was getting our coats, and I was closing my tab, I spotted a table with a half bottle of wine and a full platter of chips, guac, and salsa. Without hesitation, I sat down like it was my table, poured myself a glass of wine and basically housed a whole bowl of chips. Leigh and I then saw the lead singer (Felix) on the stage dismantling some drums and walked down to talk to him. After a minute of the standard "that was a great show" talk, I asked him if he remembered a show they played in Darling Harbour in Sydney in '04 while they were on a raft about 100 feet out in the water. The dude's eyes instantly lit up and was like "you were one of the crazy blokes who jumped into the water!" Needless to say, it was me and my group of 10 friends on our last day in australia who jumped into the harbour during the encore of their show ignoring the signs saying "WARNING: Sharks and Electricity in the Water: DO NOT SWIM," and swam around for the encores while literally thousands of people cheered for us but not surprisingly did not choose to join us. Eventually the coast guard took us back to shore and let us go saying we were all lucky to be alive. I was pretty impressed the dude remembed that shit 3 years later. Anyway, both nights were pretty fucking sweet."
