Arnie

“Arnie felt compelled to focus more on free jazz these days, but his contract specifically prohibited this genre during happy hour. He decided to test the rules by playing an off-note once or twice every song, and based on the reaction, go from there.”

…

Arnie has really been struggling lately. He wants so much to just make art and be free, but he feels held by society’s ideals of having a “real job” and living in some kind of shelter that includes TVs and a steam shower.

In his down time, Arnie’s been reading blogs about tiny living and freecycling. He is secretly amassing used pallets. If he ends up getting fired from his current gig, he plans to build a fort where he can play his music all day and scavenge all night. He really feels that that would be living the dream.
