The "Bonus" in my life, would happen to be this. It's "highly" unlikely, anyone that "knows me" or my life either.. could "honestly say".. "Gary hasn't been around the block". I can "Flat out" Promise, I go through more every week.. then you do in a year. Maybe a lifetime.
Lots bad too.. "How would you feel".. "umm think of this". You go to a show. You are the "night owl". Sleeping overnight. Suddenly, 50 Blacks or something (gang members) come up to cause problems? I am most "Always" the only one awake then".,, and have to deal with it.
I have to get all the vendors awake, I have to be the "first" to call the police. I am "Always" the one, that brings "cool" back to the festival. That's why "promoters" like me. Cause, I a pretty good at it really. I know how to deal with chit.. very well actually.
I am not "against" blacks. Not against anyone really. To me there are "Black Niggers, and White Niggers". All the same to me. If you come into a "festival". When I am awake (and I am up all night). If you try to cause problems, I could care less your color. I am there to "protect" everyones property. I do this, like all the time.
I'll talk to them. Like every single time. Listen, or not.. their choice. If they want me to call in "20" police cars.. I will. If they want all the vendors against them? "I will". If they want to "simply leave", that's ok too.. The choice is "Always this".. listen.. or go to jail.. I will listen to them, but "Positive" the "outcome I feel" will happen. I always give my choice, then I take it on my own "indicative".
Done a festival every week. Pretty much 37 years. Gonna keep flying my way.
Gary :)
