A week of Johns

Ok, so I get on the plane in Memphis...headed for Nashville. Im right up front, second row back...I stow my camera overhead and sit by the window. I HAVE to have a window seat cuz why else would you fly, right? ya gotta look out the window! so then this man sits down next to me...and takes over the arm rest. im pissed and think,oh shit, i gotta sit next to THIS guy??!!

so he starts talking to me..asking me what I do and crap. I tell him Im a photographer and do mostly action shots but Im branching out into greetings cards and stuff....and he offers to take MY picture. Now....NO ONE takes MY picture...ever. Im always the one behind the camera. so I let him and think, "well, maybe he's not too bad!"

then he tells me he's a linguist and writes text books for students in Spanish and french...and that he speaks fluent Italian....and he raps!!!! we had the BEST conversation ever! I really enjoyed him. His name is John De Mado and his website is www.demado-seminars.com So you need to go and check him out. he was fantastic. i told him all about bean and that we've been best friends forever. I made him follow me to the baggage claim so he could meet her!!!

So John, if you're reading this...I really enjoyed talking to you and would sit next to you on a plane any day of the week! and you know me...that could be again very soon! ;)

Then last night we went out to a country bar...my first time ever. I played pool for the first time ever...and this live band was there, adn the drummer came up and asked me to country dance...said he would teach me. his name was John. so he taught me to 2-step, whatever the hell that is. then me and Bean are playing pool..and this guy is at the table next to us...his name was John!!! He was so nice and gave us pointers on pool...and bought us a drink. first time a man has ever bought me a drink in a bar!

So in a mater of days I met 3 differnt Johns...one more differnt than the rest! and i had so.much. fun at that country bar!!
