First day in Haiti for The Acoustic Guitar Project.

Just stopped off at the main public library to do some research Haiti, and I watched a librarian have a painful discussion with a crazy person. He wanted an explanation as to whether all the knowledge in the library was based on myth. “How can you prove the earth isn’t hollow,” he asked. The librarian handled it pretty well by suggesting he explore his intellectual curiosities via the 800 number:)

They don’t take any ownership. They are just an amazing bunch of people that want to see cool stuff happen, and they are constantly looking for new ideas.

These are two great examples of two great guys I met at an Awesome Foundation Happy Hour last night.
