The good person and the magical bum.

One of the days at pax I lost my crappy prepaid black nokia phone.
It ruined my night, I had a ton of contacts on it.
In fact i thought I left it at the westlake center in the food court.
We went up there and talked to security, then we checked a bunch of other areas.

Eventually I seen a bum.
I went up to him and said "I am only giving you this because I believe in Karma and I lost my damn cellphone. I need some luck man."

I then handed him a dollar and walked away.

He then shouted "Come over here man"

I walked up to him and he hit his fist against mine, knuckle to knuckle.
The luck was activated.
The next morning the info desk at PAX called my friends cell which we had been using to call my lost cell.
I got it back!

Ty PAXer and / or Enforcer that found and returned my phone.
I really appreciate it!

    I gave a bum a dollar during the pub crawl, but it was only because I was drunk. (and I definitely didn't get any luck out of it, though I did manage to not lose my cellphone, credit cards or drivers license that night, and I guess that was lucky)

    Oh, they all say that. Living in the city has made me quite callous. I've definitely developed the "Get it together, Grouch" mentality. For those that don't know what I'm talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUmYGLIubho

    I unfortunately didn't give any bums anything...because I believe my good deed was filled by purchasing a pass for a D&Der outside the convention Friday. All she wanted to do was play D&D and was trying to get in on only 5 bucks in her pocket

    so I gave her the rest she needed

    I gave a guy a couple slices of pizza on Friday night while walking to the store to buy some liquor. On Sunday after we packed up our hotel room, we took all our extra beer and gave it to the homeless dudes in Freeway Park across from our hotel.

    FIST POUND!
