Cafe Gratitude/Landmark Forum Medley

In 2006, I worked at Cafe Gratitude (vegan & organic restaurant) and attended the Landmark Forum (communication & philosophy course), both by choice. That year, during the Landmark Forum Seminar classes (ten classes where we met once a week post-Forum), we were assigned the task of completing something, a dream of ours, by the end of the Seminar series. I had always wanted to perform so I picked up the ukulele and learned a few Johnny Cash tunes, because they were classic and pretty catchy & simple. I then created a medley of Walk the Line and Ring of Fire and made up my own words which are about Cafe Gratitude. I worked at Cafe Gratitude for 3 years and loved it. I am sorry they are currently being sued by some disgruntled ex-employees. I have worked in the restaurant world for 17 years and have yet to come across a restaurant that plays by every single rule without fail. I think that's because they are run by human beings, who make mistakes sometimes. Anyway, the owners have their hearts in the right place and I fully support whatever form Cafe G takes on next! Weird & wacky as they may seem to some, and as all true revolutionaries may seem to some, they were wonderful to work for and to know, and I got so much out of my experience being there that I wouldn't trade it for anything. So a big, heartfelt THANK YOU to both Cafe Gratitude and the Landmark Forum. I wouldn't be who I am today without your work in the world. :)

Also, it's been an awfully long time since I've uploaded any videos...the ones on YouTube currently are pretty old! This has the classic interruption...teatime! :) Thanks for listening!
