When I worked as a cook, part of the initiation for new employees was being the butt of a few jokes, this would continue until they came back with a gem of their own. The movie "Waiting" was quite an accurate portrayal of my experiences in the kitchen.

Last Concert: Jeff Mangum in Knoxville at the Bijou
Roo's attended: 2011, 2012. The year I registered here I went to Lollapalooza and enjoyed myself immensely thanks to a stacked lineup, but once I made the leap to roo I found lineup to be only half the joy and the festival in my own backyard provides a much more hospitable environment. Plan to continue going until that god stops me.
