that night way back when..the first of many..the first time i met him was in NYC for new years. he was a friend of my friend jen and all she could say about him and the weekend was "its gonna be great". and it was--- unforgettable in fact. matt was the kind of guy where you dont need any plans, shouldnt make any plans and if you have plans cancel them. you just let things happen. and happen they did. that day started out in a pizza place, where in the middle of a slice of mushroom this tornado literally swept us up and from that moment on it felt like a magic carpet ride. we started out at an irish place and later stumbled into some swanky lounge drinking black label johnny walker and smoking cigars. later, much later..he convinced a romanian bar owner to open his doors just for us and we danced the night away and we drank some home made concoction that probably is illegal in all 50 states.
he was just someone you wanted to know and someone who wanted to know you. he was amazing. he was genuine. he truly squeezed every single minute out of his life. i miss him.
a year later. st patty's in sydney.
