04/03/2006 - Aloha! I know I have been slacking on the
Albania photos, but they will have to wait one more day. The
reason being, the story behind this photo is just too good to pass up.
As you can see from the photo above, we have two happy individuals
promoting a very large pizza. Here is their story of strive,
hunger, and ultimate happiness.
While in Denver a week ago, Patrick (good friend from Kansas City
featured on the left-hand side of this photo) and I decided we would
go to a Grace Potter concert
after the conference let out. We asked the hotel concierge where
a good place was to get a quick bite to eat. She recommended
Anthony's Pizza & Pasta. She stated that the pizza was
delicious, and that it was on the way to the concert venue.
However, she recommended that we take a taxi from the pizza parlor to
the venue, because, "it was not a good neighborhood." So,
Patrick and I wandered over to the pizza joint, still unaffected by
the concierge's scare tactics.
Arriving at Anthony's Pizza, we were quickly informed that they were
about to close in 5 minutes. Patrick and I stated that we would
each like a piece of pizza. The guy next to the pizza oven
shouted out, "...we are about to close in 5 minutes. How about I
sell you a
whole 20" pie for $5?" After no deliberation, we immediately
responded simultaneously "You bet your white ass!" The only deal
was we had to get out of the parlor within 15 minutes so the boys
could clean up and go home. Therefore, after eating one slice
each, he decided to exit the pizza parlor and hit the streets.
Not heeding the concierge's recommendations, we migrated ourselves on
foot in the general direction of the concert venue. Our strategy
of walking with hot pizza prompted intellectual brilliance on our
behalf.
The situation was simple, to avoid any street problems, we would hand
out piping hot pizza to any bum, hobo, or drug addict that needed a
hunger fix. By doing so, we would fatten up the Denver street
population, gain smiles upon our faces, and proceed merrily (and
safely) to the concert venue. It worked, and here is proof. Enjoy!
