Skip Lunch, Howie Kafka, me, and the Internet
Just got off a three-way Skype call with Howie Kafka and Skip Lunch. Still on the line with Skip. Howie’s in Germany and Skip’s in China, I’m near Los Angeles. We remembered something I’d forgotten: I introduced them, and I introduced Howie to the Internet. Howie said he had a computer but no modem and I sent him a SNAIL MAIL letter in 1996 and said “You’ve GOT to get a modem and check this shit out!” He did, then I introduced them to each other and they’ve been best friends forever, ever since.
mew. Awww…..I love it.
We had fun on the Skype three-way and were sharing links and music and all that stuff and had a realization: This is what we dreamed of as kids…..talking over the miles with our buddies, while living our lives in amazing places.
Rock the fuck on, man.
