Since it was randomly laying on the street in New York City, I decided the room key for the Lowe’s Vanderbilt Hotel in Nashville had to be intentional - so I boarded a plane, left New York, and landed in Music City just in time for a quick Massage and Mani-Pedi Duo at the gate terminal. It’s CMA week in this town, so a guy’s got to feel and look his best in a Custom T-Shirt in case Carrie Underwood walks by.
I hailed a cab outside the airport and off we were to my destination with the mysterious room key. How would all this play into my mission of leading the Occupy Wall Street movement?
When I arrived at the hotel, the lady behind the counter looked strangely at the key. “Here, take this coupon for custom holiday cards and knock on Room 1225.”
Knock! Knock!
“Who’s there?” a voice from inside the room asked.
“The future leader of the Occupy Wall Street movement”
“Do you have a coupon for $100 towards Outdoor Kitchens, Food & Drinks at Kalamatas or $40 towards a Sam’s Club membership?”
“No, it’s a coupon for Custom Christmas Cards”
The door opened, I walked in and took a seat. A voice came from a dark corner.
“The people of the Occupy Wall Street movement are simple to lead. They’re only looking for something to believe in.”
“You mean, it doesn’t matter if it’s the 99% thing or not, just as long as they have something to believe in?”
“Yes. They don’t care what it is. They only want to believe in something.”
“But what is that thing? What do I encourage them to believe in so I can lead them?”
“You’re holding it in the palm of your hands”
That’s when I knew - a 20-Page Hardcover Book or Deli Appetizers at 3 Brothers Deli – none of it was good enough for OWSers to believe in. I knew who I had to become so I could get a chance at becoming their leader. Like the shadowy figure said, the answer was right in my hand…
