Give and Ye Shall Receive

fire heartThe universe really is an amazing place. Here’s a story that I shared on Facebook and thought you might enjoy:

I had a really special experience on the last day of PorcFest. I left a $100 tip for the maid(s) with a note that said something like “do with this as you see fit” and also left them a gram of silver that I had found on the ground the day prior.

The universe showed me the consequence of my action! As I was visiting the front desk at Roger’s Campground & Motel for something unrelated, I got to see the two young ladies that were on duty as maids that day excitedly come in and tell their boss, Samantha, something like, “I thought we were having an awful day, but look at what we got!”. Samantha replied that some people appreciate the hard work they do. She asked them what room it was from and they reported my room number. I didn’t say anything and when they left, Samantha asked, “Wasn’t that your room number?”, and I affirmed. She explained that the maids were pooling all their tips for the week of Porcfest, so all five would get a piece. They had agreed to the pool split in advance to avoid any infighting that might crop up. Good idea. I had hoped that the maid who found it would share it with her coworkers and not hold it, and she didn’t!

What a cool experience – thank you, universe. I didn’t expect that. It was wonderful to see. PorcFest FTW.

P.S. They were also curious about the silver. Samantha’s answer to that inquiry was something about how they could probably get cash for it in town.

I had a weird experience while filming Robin Hood in Keene today. I was in the middle of recording when an angry man approached me, offered his opinions into my camera, and then threatened to destroy it. He stole the camera from my hands, and suddenly a man appears. Watch what happens next:

Announcing the Keene Bitcoin Network!

icon_bitcoin_large1[1]Bitcoin is the dollar-killer. It’s easily the best, most popular alternative currency in the world. It’s also the most valuable of all the world’s currencies. No wonder Keene businesses are taking notice. (Haven’t heard of it or want to learn more? Visit WeUseCoins.com)

In order to further facilitate people who buy and sell with Bitcoin coming together in the area, the Keene Bitcoin Network has been launched! Right now it is just a facebook group, but bigger things are being plotted.

Bitcoin can help strengthen the local economy by avoiding pesky taxes, since it’s essentially a barter as far as the government knows (if they can even understand it). Not only that, it could also be considered an investment that may help you fight the weakening effects of inflation.

So, drop in and say hello at the new Keene Bitcoin Network! When you are added to the group, feel free to post your business if you are accepting Bitcoins in Keene!
