Philly and Chili

Philly In the Hizoues

Wow what a week I had. It all started out at 12pm on Friday. I got off work early to head up to Philly to hang out with Philly Mike and my boy Willi and his girl. The short story is I got to Philly at 4pm hung out with Janet and John ( my host family for the night ) who I had never met before this trip. We headed to happy hour at about 6pm to meet up with the crew. From there with chilled until 10 and then went to this club that had some awesome hip hop sounds. After that at about 2ish we headed to go eat at a dinner ( Philly cheese ) then off to bed at about 3am. Woke up at 12 and got on the road to back to DC for an event I had ( Chili cook off ) at 5pm. From the cook off we went to a bar in old town afterwards and well did not end up getting home until am. What a trip. I met at least 50 new people in one weekend. It was crazy. But so worth it. So glad I got to hang with Philly Mike and everyone. You guys are such an awesome city. Open hearts and open minds. I did get to mingle with the group and there were many new members. I find it so cool to talk to new members and see the different types of people who come and give meetin a chance. One lady told me how sad she was before she found meetin and met some of her best friends. It so amazing to me that I here this same story no matter what city I go to. People all over this country are just looking for others to connect with and share a beer and just be out of there house. Its so great that we can help them do this and more. Mike and crew are performing a service in philly that is touching many peoples lives. I hope they know how much people appreciate all of this hard work.

John and Janet
These two kids were awesome. Huge shout out for letting me crash at there place first off. But it was great to hang out with these two for a while and get to talk to them. I never met them before and yet I have felt like I knew them pretty well. Janet a very smart gal who has done so much in so little time. John this guy is a great building , creator and artist. I can tell by looking at the construction he has done on his house. He definitely has a knack for building. They are only 22 and 23 and yet they have bought there own house and really have there life planned out. Much props to you guys you keep it up.
