Wow I haven't posted for ages blah blah.
Anyway as many of you know Ive just got back from america from staying with unzercharlie <3
Just thought i'd post this weird story that happened while i was over there even though i've already told it to quite a few people. We were in downtown lexington, taking photographs. We found ourselves under this bridge, next to a fairly busy street opposite the bus station. Unz was resting his camera on a concrete fence to take long exposures, and i spotted a guy coming over from the bus station towards us. I pointed him out to unz, feeling a bit nervous, and he was like "oh don't worry, he wont bother us".
But the guy came right up, and told us he had some advice for us. He said god told him to tell us this advice. Then he started telling us that he was a god fearing man, and his rambling went on from there, and we all forgot abou the advice, which he never told us. He went on to say that his name was Hillbilly, he's a professional hitchhiker, he has a library card in every place he's ever been, and he has a book coming out february 15th. (He urged us to remember his name so that we could check for the book.)
Then he said "alright, I'm not gonna lie to you. I need five dollars for some liquor" So unz gave him some change and said it'd get him started, and then hillbilly said we could take his picture. So he pulls out this harmonica and starts to play and I took a couple of shots.

The first one is better. The second one is only included cause it looks like tom waits. I wish i'd asked him to show us all his library cards and taken a picture of that (assuming it wasn't in his head)
Then we pretty much said goodbye. Later on we were sitting in a park, and we saw him again and he gave us his email address. He also said that he gave the change to a girl he saw who needed it, and that he knew it'd come back to him.
Oh also, we saw this pinned to a poster box type thing which was pretty awesome

I stopped to take pictures of the ripped posters and stuff (<3 dilapidation) and spotted it. Course we didn't take it, but I later realised i wish i'd added a dollar cause it would be awesome if the person who left it there went back to check if it'd gone... and instead, there was an extra dollar.

What is his email address?
I agree, I want to know what his email address is as well. He seems like he would make a fine pen pal, and then you might be able to fine out what God has planned for you.
