EMC

I know everybody remembers the good man EMC aka Ed Campbell aka Soupy from bensalem/temple/philly. well the nomad himself will be blessing us with his presence in portland on friday night then hitching a ride with us 1/2 way to vancouver, BC, getting off in northern Washington State, near the San Juan Islands...

I've known EMC since the first day day of my sophomore of high school...he was a freshman...we met in study hall and we played dungeons and dragons with jessica lipson. yes, we were geeks and played d&d. i also really dug jess lipson and took her to the soph hop or junior prom or something... but EMc has been my man since like 1991 or 92 or something... everytime i would pick him up, he was never ready on time. but he could tell you the origins of popcorn. or how many miles it is from here to Saturn. dude's a genius. he has a philosophy degree. he is homeless. he travels like the wind. i visited his hometown in jamaica, sligoville, with him and his pops back in like 1995 or something. we partied it up. we ate meat and drank Red Stripes and smoked our hearts out. Ed is now a vegetarian who does none of the above. let me take that a step further....Ed is a macrobiotic? He lives by the Raw Foods diet. he ONLY eats raw fruits and vegetables. no meats, no fish, no cooked vegetables. STRICTLY RAW. well, he's not the type of dude to totally limit himself, i guess if that's all there is to eat, cooked veggies, he'll eat them, but he prefers raw. i think he's been on this diet for a few years now. i'll update everyne on how he's doing shortly.

Looking forward to kicking it with you, Ed.
