Chris Gibson was an extremely well-read homeless man who was a fixture at Barnes & Noble, perhaps, the smartest man I've ever met. We had a lot of conversations, he taught me gematria, I'd bake a few extra scones to hand him a warm one on the way out the door, all the cafe workers fed Chris. There was something about him that has magical. He was found dead in Cambria Creek with no note, we suspected it was murder but because he was homeless there was no investigation. He never went to Cambria, he left no indication he was suicidal during that time...it was all very devastating. Anyway, tonight Crystal Gibson KILLED IT on the pole. I'd have taped the whole thing but my phone ran out of memory from taping the newbies who all did a phenomenal job. Memory Lane, it was nice to see Chris dancing tonight, I know he lingers and judges me for not reading more Nietzsche.
I was bummed we had to leave early because Jon maxed out, but I got to hear him channel Chris all the way home so that was nice. He hopped from the pole straight into Jon who he knew. It was eerie and awesome. I have no idea where Jon went tonight, I got him home safe though.
