PholkTales: Random Acts of Kindness
I went to see Trey's solo tour in Atlanta with a friend of mine in July. We had traveled for about 5 hours to get to the show. Before the show, my friend and I were in this deep discussion about how incredibly nice our phamily is. You're at a show, you find you're in need of something, and someone always has you covered, no matter what it is--they don't even have to know you to help you out.

We were thinking of how nice it would be to see people treat others like this all over, not just at these shows. Think of all the problems we wouldn't have to deal with if the world was like shakedown street. I have specific examples of this generosity that I received at this show in particular--which was strange because we were just talking about how great you guys are! 

My ride to the show got sick right after the 3rd song of the 1st set. He said he needed to run to the restroom and he'd be right back. As the night went on, I started to worry because I knew something wasn't right. Suddenly, I had a group of people around me telling me they'll do whatever to help me find him--and if he wasn't around for whatever reason, they'd even take me back home. They walked with me to first aid, they provided me with things that i needed like gum--water etc. and they even combed the lots for my lost party. 

After the show was over we found the guy I had came there with, he went back to the car to sleep off what was making him feel bad. So we all hung out, exchanged numbers etc. My friend and I were so unbelievably thankful for the kindness in these people. I was blessed to have made that kind of new friend. You can't even think of how to pay these people back--but you want to. 

If you're reading this and you know who you are (P.J. and his gang and Anderson), please know that what you've done for me has touched me--and I hope it comes back to you!! It's just so nice to know that once you're in the lot, the show--you're safe, you're never without a friend, and you're all putting aside your differences to come together for one love. I love all of you guys!!
