Failure Loves Company

Yesterday, I had several hours between when I arrived in Ft. Lauderdale and my show at Write Side Poets Cafe so I wandered around downtown until I found a coffee shop with free Wi-Fi (helpful tip: go toward the direction of the historical/arts district in any city and you will find at least one coffee shop – this has been true in all the cities I’ve stopped at).  In this coffee shop, I watched some folks film a scene that involved some sort of shady deal between the two characters, the usual “do you know this person – yeah I know this person – why do you want to do this – I don’t want to do this because I don’t trust this person – let’s take a walk to talk more about it” sort of thing that goes on when two characters in a movie talk about a potentially shady deal.  If only the shady deal was about something interesting, like manticore ovaries or kraken cockrings, but hohum it’s money and violence like always.  No one threatens with hugs anymore.
