this Norman Music Fest was very special. I've had a pen pal for a few years now named Josue (Hoe-Sway) AKA freegucci, and we recorded a song called "Asian Girls Everywhere" for him a long time ago, and it's become one of our favorite songs to play live.
This year, we raised some money and decided to fly him out from San Diego to OKC, and he got to hear the song live, as well as see a bunch of cool bands, buy a bunch of records from Guestroom, meet all of the Oklahomies, and really see that Oklahoma isn't just a giant shithole after all.
On a personal level, it was fucking cool to meet a guy I've known online and over the phone for so long. We'd stay up late listening "Baltimore to Washington" by Woody Guthrie, talking about nothing, and doing nothing. Just talking, fucking around on my guitar, watching stupid videos, fucking with people on Facebook, and talking about all the cool shit we could do the next day.
Maybe he can come back later this year. Anyways, check out this video. There was magic that night, maybe it was because he was here, maybe not, but I want to thank everyone who was there for making it a fucking awesome experience for us and Josue.
