We played on the mall with Billy, Sarah and Annie (Luke’s girlfriend if you didn’t know already [for giving you that gossip, I expect a little donation!]). When we played, there was this old bum totally dressed in purple with a purple beanie and a purple sweatshirt and he just cracked me up! He would dance by waving his hands horizontally below his waist like greasing a pig (I don’t know how that came to mind) and then he would do a “horn-blowing” motion (you know, that hand above head pulling motion as if pulling a chain of an old comode) and then he would do all these winks with his eyes and wingling his fingers. Man, I don’t know how else to describe it but it was one of the most funniest things I have seen that day! I just couldn’t stop from laughing and I think he enjoyed it!
Boy, I’ve been mainly playing guitar for quite a while so I’m now used to holding this big instrument but on the mall, I played the mandolin and it felt so akward to be holding that little thing, my arm was kinda cramping (well, I’m not sure if it was technically “cramping,” but it sure didn’t feel nice). Afterwards, this guy dressed up as a pirate asked all of us if we wanted a flyer for some halloween store. I don’t know why I took one but I took one. That bum who I got a kick out of came by and was mumbling stuff to us and winking so I gave him the flyer. He refused it which I found odd so I gave it to Billy.
We went into the Marrinis ice cream store to count the loot. Luke wanted to count the money outside (where the patio chairs and tables are) but I disagreed (not like that changed anything) ’cause not only a breeze would blow away the money we were counting but somebody could just come right up and pluck up a stack of bills right. Fortunately, none of that happened. We made 170 bucks and it sure seems like a lot more when it hasn’t been split up five ways.
