Ladies and Gentlement please take your seats.

So since the last Thread "The Adventures of Blue FontaNINE" I have

gotten a little bit more stable here in New Orleans.

I found a place where I fit in and it's AWESOME. I found a job because I just wanted to have a normal thing like everyone else

and i needed to make some money.

So I was doing some quite stage hand gigs and bartending. It was great it reminded me of my life in New York City, you gotta hustle.

So I get this job serving tables at a cool restaraunt in the French Quarter. I love it there. The people are really cool and I can be at something.

I have great costomer service. I smile alot.

We had a really great party the other night, Big party. Some company bought out the restartaunt threw this big event. I was asked to work the party.

It was crazy packed and everyone was real drunk. I wasn 't i didn't have a drink all night. They destroyed the place.

I am sitting out back smoking a cigarette, being coolz but kind of pissed. It's 3:30 in the morning, a storm is brewing, and me and 3 others were tasked

to clean this sit up. LOL I wasn't happy but I made some good money. Anyway the guy who threw the party came stubmling by, intoxicated. There were models

there at the party and they were taking polaroid pictures of the party goers. So this dude is holding one of the cameras, and he says to u.s.... Thank you so much

you guys were amazing, ya da ya da and oh by way we left a bunch of booze in the back and what you want you can have it.

I take a drag off my cigarette and say to him.... I want that camera. He says to me, I have been watching you alnight. You are a bad ass and he handed me the camera.

He said, Thank you.

I said thanks and took the camera.

My cowoker looked over at me and said I can't believe you just did that?

I said to him what do you mean?

and he said, I wanted that camera. LOL

it was that moment I saw in his eyes, my cowoker, that he liked me.

He said, that was pretty awesome.. Your ok, in my book.

I smiled. It felt nice to have someone say to me, in this new world.

He went inside to check out the loot. We scored!

any the camera is a Gold polariod camera and the pictures that come out have gold trim.

I finished my cigarette and I went inside to see what was left of the booze loot to my surprise

I found 15 boxes of instant film for the camera. I am a very happy person and thus this

thread The Gold Experience is based on the images that I capture with my new friend, the gold polariod camera.

p.s. I am in the production period of the next album "Blue FontaNINE"

stay tuned.

Here are some of the first images taken with The Gold Experience...

Conflict. How does one defuse conflict?

man it's been one of those days.

I am usually great at what I do,

but today was confusion.

The chef, he yelled at me. I deserved it, i had no idea what was going on.

the orders werent ringing in right. we have this new thing on the menu

and there is a certain way you have to enter it in.

it wasn't working, so i had to go to the kitchen with every order and explain

this needed this and that neeeds this.

during the process of telling him what the order actually was,

he yelled, You need to speak clearer to me and walked away.

That hurt my pride. I wasn't at my best, I didn't have an answer

to the conflict. I just knew that there was a conflict and it was happening

but I didn't know why.

they say I speak softly....

I imagine to my self,

can u amagined if I spoke

with command.

"Move mountain, from before me!"

how's that...?

I thought about Minneapolis,

Boom Boom Boom

i reached out to my best friend in college

he got back to me and it was great.

little notes here and there

mean everything.

Been there and done it in the restaurant business. Many times--back when sexual harrasment of a female (and sometimes male) was the norm. Look for a better gig that fits you. Best wishes on your life-changing move to New Orleans. Great city. Haven't been there since before Hurricand Katrina but N'Oleans always rebounds. Find the job that fits you, like the place and the people do! Best wishes on your new life's journey!
