James and I worked together at Lazy Dog. He made that place what it is today. The difference from before James and today is astronomical. When he became the manager of the place he decided to change up the look of the outside porch by getting rid of all the tables and chairs that were out there originally and putting two, ten seat tables out there instead. He wanted to force people to step out of their comfort zones and talk to each other. It was amazing what happened, people from all over town were coming to hang out and talk. It formed a group of friends that grew closer than family. At first everybody started out as strangers who probably would have been to shy or afraid to ask each other for a smoke, but from that sprouted a community that was bound by one thing. James. It was amazing to work there; I wish that I never would have left.
