the baggage handlers and the bindis

Last saturday we went to Harp, an irish pub in Tempe. one of our customer was having a show there. on the flyer it said 2 bands will be playing. (and “could this really be love or is it just the music?”) but end up only the baggage handlers were there. John, our friend, is the vocal and guitarist. his brother is the drummer, with another tall, bald guy on guitar (he’s a nurse!), and a bass guy. Everybody write and sing their songs. a lady sang blue in the encore part. a lovely nite, and so was john ^^

live a lotto life

Whenever there’re some friendly and funny customers buying lotto, we ask them not to forget us if they win the big prize. The following are the usual offer, some are rather creative:

• buy me a bunch of flower

• grab me a beer or dinner

• a diamond ring

• ask me to run away with him

• a holiday (from manly to around the world)

• a new, bigger shop

• renovate our shop

• 1% of the winning money/any amount that strikes their mind

i hope they can have a chance to prove they’re not kidding…
