Wow, just one left, he should be getting top billing on the endangered species list. I miss 80's style homeless peeps. Anyone remember Melvin Jones, the dude who ran the save the winos campaign? "Save the winos, Save the winos, y'all done saved the whales, now save the winos" I had many a 40 in a paper bag with that guy outside of CB's, the best part being when he'd tell you that he had the next round and then go boost it.
…Also… the dude who ran the 'Homeless Space Program' was totally awesome.
