Song 11 (I have been outdone)

From my brother:

After reading Milking iT(unes) entries, I was excited about the free Mp3s, but strangely, I was even more excited about feeling denim again.

I've been sitting in cotton slacks an awful lot lately and wanted to get back to my roots. So I was a little worried when the GAP at Fashion Valley was under construction. We decided to walk on over and get us some free music after making reservations at the ever-ridiculous Cheesecake Factory. We walked all that way, risking that the Cheesecake beeper might go out of range, past lots of horribly-dressed mannequins, only to find the store all plywooded up!

So I go into Baby Gap or Gap kids and a spiked-hair post/pre adolescent asks if he can help me. I explain that Gap for adults is closed, but that I want an mp3 and I am willing to try on kids pants if that's what it takes. It took a few repetitions to achieve understanding on his part. Then he said clearly, looking me in the eye, "Oh. Man, you're so dumb." "What?", I say. "Nothing. I'll get you one." He pulled out 2 cards and I made my way out.

I gave one to my awesome friend Nicole who just last week learned about iTunes and iPods. She chose "Edge of the Ocean" by Ivy. I chose "Game Shows Touch Our Lives" by the Mountain Goats.



My paling unearned song = "Don't You Want Me" by Human League

Alright, only way you can top that is if one of you gets a job at the Gap and starts stealing free iTunes cards.

Holden, don't do it. You will end up back in jail!
