Soliciting


What a wonderful Friday it was! Kristen decided to come and visit me this weekend. She had five goals for her trip to Baton Rouge:

1. See my house
2. Eat at D'Angelo's
3. Eat at Ninfa's
4. Eat at Smoothie King
5. Sell 13 DVD/CD combos

We met at D'Angelo's on Lee and had some wonderful food over there. We then needed to go to Target. We all tried on some clothes over there. After that we went to Sam's for an ICEE. Then we got into CRAZY traffic for over an hour to get to Baker.
Later that night we went to Ninfa's. While we were waiting for our table I was trying to get Kristen to try and sell some DVD/CD combos. Instead of her trying, I figured I would sell them, to prove a point/win a bet.
I tried to sell one to a worker (directing parking). He didn't really believe that it was for a good cause. I moved on to two women across the parking lot. While I am in the middle of my sell this guy comes up to me and tells me that I have to leave or he will call the cops. He was very rude about it, but I got up and walked back to the car and put the DVD/CD combo away. Well the two managers were following me. He continues to tell me that the cop is on his way. He actually said "Cops are on the way, he is a sergeant in the BRPD". How weird is that, intimidation? I tell him "I put them away, what is your problem?" He tells me "Just leave". Well Kristen came from Colorado to eat at Ninfa's, I cannot let us get kicked out on account of me. So I make my way to the manager and I apologize to him for being rude and for not listening to him the first time. I almost got on my knees to ask him to let us eat there, but it wasn't necessary. I was granted the right by the ALL MIGHTY ONE to eat at HIS restaurant, just so long I was being sincere and I was good boy while eating. Then the cop comes to talk with me. I thought that he was going to nice. He asked me what happened, I told the story. The cop then tells me never to do it again and to behave, otherwise I was going to JAIL. So then we ate the food and it was great.
Kristen got up this morning and we went for a smoothie. She saw a familiar face while we were there. It was a man sitting on the bench smoking a cigarette.
We also went to see Mike the Tiger (statue). Did you know that there is one in front of the football stadium AND in front of Mike's new cage?
I may have a story to tell about models later on, we will have to see if the pictures come back to us or not.
