Impulse buy

Ok so heres the story of how I came to be in possession of a Country Music Legends autographed guitar.

It all started the Friday night before. We were all playing cards at a bar and proceeded to drink entirely too much alcohol. Being unable to drive back to Sugar Land, I crashed on Christine and Jonathans couch. I woke up Saturday morning in a daze. As I collected myself I had a bit of a dude, wheres my car moment. My keys were gone.

I came to find out that one of my other friends felt too cool or something to sleep on a random couch and proceed to drive my car home. So I am now car-less. Interestingly enough, I get a phone call from Taylor saying that he knows I dont have a car and would be willing to not only take me to Sugar Land but also to a free BBQ fundraising lunch being hosted by the Masons. In the back of my head I was certain this was going to be one of those cult meetings where they give you a weird hair cut and force you to drink kool-aid, but hey, cant pass up free BBQ.

So we get there and the food is delicious. They didnt have any kool-aid or any kind of punch or anything leaving me slightly disappointed. So I walked around a bit a looked at the various things that were in the so-called silent auction. Silent auctions never made much sense to me because it always seemed to have the loudest people crowded in a confined little space. Not seeing anything that particularly interested me, I prepared myself for the so-called live auction which involves people being as silent as possible lest they be confused with a person who actually wants to make a bid. I guess this is just one of those drive on parkways, park on driveways kind of things.

Anyway, it was at this point that Taylor and I saw the guitar. Let me just go ahead now and describe this thing to you. It is an S101 D41425BK acoustic guitar signed by Willie Nelson, Loretta Lynn, Kenny Rogers, Charlie Daniels, George Straight and BB King. Being the impulsive business man that I am, I immediately started scheming about how we could flip this thing. Surely we would be able to get it for way less than it is actually worth. So anyway, long story short, after convincing Taylor for like 20 minutes to go halfsies with me, we purchased it.

Now since I hope to eventually post a followup on this issue, I am not going to publish how much we paid for the guitar. The plan is as follows:

Step 1: Acquire Country Music Legends autographed guitar.
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit.

Last night I finally got around to taking some pictures of the thing and it is now up for sale on craigslist. I will be sure to let you guys know when I unload the thing and have a massive coke party or something.

So thats it, thats the story of how I came to be in possession of a Country Music Legns autographed guitar. The stars must have been perfectly aligned that day. Had I not gotten sloshed the night before, this most likely never would have happened and I would be living a life where I don't own a piece of Country Music Legends history. Alcohol truly is the cause and solution to all of life's problems.

On a related note, the stars were also aligned for another guy on the same day. This guy went to a live auction that his mom was catering and ended up buying a fighter jet. I tip my hat to you, good sir.

Thats all for now. Hopefully the follow up will be sooner than later. I would love to get this thing sold before my trip to New Orleans (yes, again) next Friday.
