A day in Armory Square, Syracuse, New York.

While JD and I were sitting outside of the Blue Tusk eating our mean and scruptious sandwiches, an amazing street performer was playing. I'm really glad I took my camera downtown that day. I started filming and a random man asked me what I was doing. What turned out was a real person-to-person talk that I think should happen all the time.

I hope this makes you happy.

    Brett...this is so interesting to me. A fantastic idea....you're learning about what people think in such an honest way. And what a fantastic musician. (Is he the guy that plays outside of the Dome after the sporting games?) Great work....
  • That's right, he is. Thanks a lot, Alex.

    I love the way you've shot this.
    To JD, is that your personnal journal or is it your idea journal (2:49)?
  • JD plus 2 years ago
    Hey Remyyy. That's the idea journal, after hearing his story I kind of want to write something about him. I just jotted down his name, some lyrics, some quotes, and in the end I asked for his contact info. Ha, how did you know I kept seperate ones?

    Nice video Brett.
