Say if we are going to have a Memorial Day in honor of you, what would it be about?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I think it would be more about the people celebrating then it would be about me. Which is awesome. In some sort of unseeable way I have impacted lives and made changes as they have changed me. Their prescence is a reflection of that change. Their celebration in my honor would be an interpretation of me. Which would all vary a bit. But I would hope there would be story telling laughter and music. Throw in some Mitch Hedberg(risen from heroin hallway) or Doug Stanhope… I would be golden .. And of course it would have to be outside.
