Make like a tree...

“Great Scott!” - Me.

We were out for a routine work luncheon. You know, the one’s full of awkward silences and half-jokes reaching for any topic of discussion like, “Man, look at that over there!” just to point at something random and hope anyone has a story about what you are pointing at. I’m good at awkward adulting.

We made our way back to work in our rental car and were looking for a spot to park. I heard a faint “Is that the car from Back to the Future” come from the back seat and my BTTF senses started tingling. Like, why the heck would the DeLorean be parked in a random spot in the mid-west…but, boom…there it was. Just parked in a random spot close to the entrance. I, being a huge BTTF fan, jumped out of our slow-moving SUV to immediately start inspecting the craftsmanship...and to snap a few selfies.

As it turns out, I had seen this exact DeLorean Time Machine a few years back at the Philadelphia Comic-Con. The team over at ToTheFuture.org have taken the DeLorean (that they built!) across all 50 states (including Hawaii) to raise awareness for Parkinsons. I never thought I would see it in the wild just driving around, but today was my lucky day. If you get a chance, check out the site, check them out at an event or donate whatever you have. I had the chance to chat with them today and they are good people with a great cause. It amazes me that they know more about BTTF than I do!

Playlist Friday...BTTF Style...

In honor of one of the greatest trilogies of all time here is this weeks playlist, curated by me! October 21, 2015 may have come and gone but the adventure continues. Play this while your sitting in traffic today and watch as you imagination runs wild...and you forget your sitting for 2 and half hours trying to go 10 miles on the 405. Happy weekend everyone!

Thank you BTTF...

Holy crap. It 4:29pm on October 21, 2105, Marty is here somewhere and now I live in California...if I could only actually find Hill Valley, CA...

October 21, 2015 actually happened. And...I am 28, without a hoverboard, Mr. Fusion on my Ford Focus or self tying laces on my Nike's...that I can't afford. My child self would be so disappointed...shit, who am I kidding, I AM disappointed.

Regardless...

From a thanksgiving dinner...yes, not a halloween dinner...thanksgiving...

Back to the Future,

Thank you for being awesome and for having such a huge impact on my life. From the time I saw Marty crank that amp when I was 5 and get blown across the room, I knew I wanted to play music...and never lose my imagination. You are always there for me on TBS on a cold fall day when I felt sick and did not want to leave the couch. You taught me to make wise decisions, stand up for what I believe in and although being called a chicken does suck...that it really doesn't matter in the end.

You have provided me with guidance and years of repeated entertainment. This day might come and go, but it does not end the adventure for me.

Thank you for everything, I look forward to seeing you soon and I will always remember, if Flea asks me to go along with a plan...I won't.

-Matt
