I could use a few shrooms right about now and a 40 of Schlitz a bit later today. In 96 I was living on Capitol Hill doing odd jobs around the old apartment building in exchange for paying rent. I was also working 15 hours a week at Kids Co making jack shit per hour. I had very little money but very few expenses. Because his kid went to Kids Co I met Dick Cantwell and started frequenting the Elysian when it opened that year. I thought I wanted to continue working with kids and started the notion of graduate school. But I was still a year away from getting accepted to a one year masters program and getting a bike messenger job to keep me busy until classes started in September when I would eventually blow off grad school and continue working as a bike messenger on and off for the next 13 years.
