Experience being homeless
think 3 years ago

There’s a billboard outside where I work that says “If you’ll work for food, why don’t you get a job?”

That’s what most people just don’t get. How do you get a job with nowhere to send your paycheck to? How do you get an interview without a phone? How do you make it to work on time every day when your sleep is interrupted by weather, cops, or idiots?

It’s a vicious cycle.

Very worth it. Experiencing music wherever you are is a great experience and can only be good.
