Yeah, I'm just not gonna ruin it for the insensitive bastards that haven't seen it LOL
Another glaringly obvious blunder was when another guy asked, "Do you know where the cool places are?" This one stood out for me since I am Buddhist, and one of the central tenets is learning to be in the present moment. You learn that the place where you stand is as real and valid as any other.
Or, if you look at it from Stephen R. Covey's perspective, he's being reactive: looking to follow the social wind. Essentially the underlying assumption that he's admitting to when he asks that question is that he has too look for a cool place, since he's not cool himself. He's also insulting them by basically saying that they don't make the room interesting.
But it was a cool place. It was the location where a VH1 show was being filmed. Nowhere else in Austin on that night was such a production taking place. And he's in it. And he failed to see that.
I've been down 6th street quite a few times, and sometimes the most fun stuff happens on the street. Fun stuff can happen wherever you are, you just have create your own world and draw people into it.
