Minnesota Street Scripts
Exhausted and drained today. Thank god I have Frankie Stubbs on the hi-fi belching from the gutter. He’s trying his hardest to wake me up. Go Frankie. Already several pots of coffee into the day. Yesterday was another top notch summer day and I spent the better part of it biking all over the Twin Cities to different client meetings. In between meetings, I grubbed vegan biscuits and gravy courtesy of the chefs at The Hard Times Cafe. As is the usual happenings at the Hard Times, I was feasting and conversing with good friend Wainwright, when we were approached and given manuscripts to read. This wasn’t the first time a random stranger has found me sitting somewhere in the bowels of the city and demanded that I look over some piece of text that they have written. Usually the writer wants feedback, and not feedback like you’ll go home and take a look at it and send them your comments but instant feedback. Read this now please. I’m not sure if I’m being singled out to read these mystery street texts which range from one page leaflets to full on 100 page doctoral thesis written in 10 point Times, double sided and single spaced, or if this is just a common occurrence and others are being peddled these prose. Further research is necessary. It did inspire me (for about five minutes) to start some sort of Minnesota Street Text Site where I would post all the random scriptures (or at least their titles and a writing sample) for everyone else to gawk.
