so arthur and i were relaxing on the grass at school after playing frisbee. this lady walks up and says "hi, i'm with the ASUCLA we're having an event here tomorrow, and the guys who were supposed to build our stage didn't show up. could you guys help us unload these trucks and build the stage?" Not trusting ASUCLA, i'm like "what's the event?" "it's a music festival". Still not trusting asucla, "what kind of music festival?" "Cultural, spiritual" Ah ha! Since there's not a chance in hell i'd work for free to support this crap, "So what are you offering us?" She seemed slightly surprised i'd ask for compensation for my effort, but quickly responded "well, we have tickets, or food at the event..." Because I'd sooner die than attend, i'm like "how about money?". She was pretty taken aback by this, but recovered and was like "um... well... maybe, if we juggled the books a little... what were you thinking?" "5, 10 an hour" "um, yeah, i think we can pull that". So arthur and i walked over and started helping out. Arthur had to go in a little while, but i stayed for the full four hours. It was pretty fun just building the stage and moving stuff around,a nd i stayed pretty busy. The other people working there were cool. the boss of the event people offered me a job; he said i was working super hard and was always finding things to be done, etc. i didn't bother explaining to him the possible connection between the people getting paid working hard and the volunteers who didn't show up. at the end we ate lots of free (for us) in'n'out, and i accepted my $50 (a bonus $10!).
