Violent Waves

I saw Circa Survive, Touche Amore, Balance and Composure, and O'Brother today. The show itself was fantastic, and probably one of the greatest shows I've been too. After the show there was this shirtless guy screaming, "FUCK YEAH CIRCA SURVIVE" and Peter and I happened to stop next to him. He turned to me and made a remark about getting in trouble with security. I noticed on his chest he had a tattoo of the autism awareness ribbon with the name Nathan written inside of it. I told him I really loved it, and at the same time we both said, "my little brother has autism." I had just met this man, but there was this instant connection. I could feel that he loved his little brother just as much as I love my little brother. He wanted to show me a picture of his brother, but he didn't have his wallet. I wish I could've seen it. I didn't have a picture of my brother either. Regardless, it was one of the greatest moments of my life. This is exactly why I love strangers so much. This is what I was talking about.
