People That Don’t Need Nametags

When’s the last time the Pope, the President, or the artist formerly (and once again) known as Prince wore a name tag? you know they never have to peel that “Hi, My Name Is…” sticker off their shirt at the end of the night. You won’t catch them wearing vip passes or laminated cards on gawdy lanyards. They don’t have to show ID to the bouncer, keep their ticket stub, wear a neon wristband, or get their hand stamped at the door. And when it comes time for introductions, they never have to introduce themselves because someone else usually does that for them. But is that even necessary?

Come to think of it, all the rest of us have it pretty rough. Time and time again we have to produce ID, passes, and documents that prove we are decent, valid people worthy of entry. Then once inside, we have to submit ourselves to that ever-awkward game of introductions. So raise your lanyard/wristband/VIP pass and toast with me: “To the nobodys! May we always gain entry and make new friends!”

Speaking of friends, Brandon, my college roommate, former bandmate, and “adventure buddy” will be coming on tour with me to help out and provide some sanity (or insanity depending on what’s needed) along the way. I’m excited about the tour and hope to see a lot of you along the way. Make sure to comment below if you’d like to put your name in the hat for backstage and VIP passes. I’ll see what i can do. Hahaha

See you soon…
