Little story from Worcester to Boston

There I was. Tired, Almost no voice, Almost no money... as happy as I could be. Had two amazing nights on DCU Center. Met some amazing people. Lots of stories to tell. My recently made friend Ken and I got on the train from Wustah to Boston's South Station. I was wearing a PJ t-shirt I got in the gig. (First time I do both. Get a T-Shirt in a Gig and wear it on the next day).

As we left the train we got approached by this little pretty girl. She looked really young. She asked if we were on the gig the night before. We said yes. She said "My god it was amazing". I told I was from Brazil and my friend from Norway. She said "Wow you came this far for a concert?". (We were walking on the platform, she even hit a Fire Safety equipament I can't name). I asked, "How old are you?". "Eighteen", she replied. I don't know why I told her: "Come and join us. Ready the lyrics, listen to the songs. You will travel around the world, meet people, make friends and maybe find a meaning to your life. Come with us. Be happy".

Her eyes changed, with this light, this sparkle... she looked touched and replied: "Thank you... thank you". It looked like all she always wanted to listen to. She dissapeared in the middle of the crowd leaving the platform.

It really made my day.

    Ignore the negative comments. I get what you said. That's what PJ is all about. :D

    Sorry. I am such a BAD writer. :D
    Was just trying to share an experience. Don't worry. Nothing much.

    Back to regular schedule programming.
