Interesting ways I've met interesting people: The Brandon Stone edition

Year: 2002
Place: kilby court,
The band: Ben Kweller

I was 18, and high school was nearing an end. My friend Bobby and I were avid concert buddies, I said to him do you dare me to ask someone if I can buy their shirt off them? you see, every time I went to a concert it was inevitable that I would see someone with a shirt I wanted (i.e. this or this). So I devised a plan to just buy shirt off people's backs. Bobby, knowing my plan, dared me to. So I found a good looking shirt on a tall red headed boy and said, "hey can I buy your shirt off you?" He laughed and reply "no. my grandpa gave me this." I pressed him a little more, but he would not sale that effen shirt. and we've been friends ever since.


stay tuned next time for the sequel - how I met Heather Diann Forsey.

Interesting ways I've met interesting people: The Tim Glenn edition

setting: West Jordan High School
year: 2001
Shirt: Weezer

The brief introduction: it was near the end of junior year, classes were in session. I was out in the hall wondering and there's this guy with a Weezer shirt. I said, "oh you like weezer." and he said something like "yeah. the have a new album coming out." BAM! that's when I knew I gotta be friends with that guy.

fast forward to the first week of senior year >>

I was in some arts class that was boring and only consisted of sweet bros. I ask my teacher for the hall pass, I needed a break. as I was walked around halls I ran into Tim. Our conversation was very brief, I ask "what class do you have right now?" he said, "creative foods." As soon as he walked away I walked straight into the counseling office and said, "I need to get into creative foods, so can we change my schedule." 20 minutes later I walked into Tim's class.

And we've been best friends ever since.

and the best part is now I have a Hope!
