Dan Krejci says “a lot of people don't realize what's really going on. They view life as a bunch of unconnected incidents and things. They don't realize that there's this, like, lattice of coincidence that lies on top of everything. Give you an example, show you what I mean.  Suppose you're thinking about a plate of shrimp.  Suddenly somebody will say, like, "plate" or "shrimp" or "plate of shrimp" out of the blue, no explanation.  No point in looking for one either...it's all part of the cosmic unconsciousness.” Dan spent seven years as the bassist for c/z recording artists, dirt fishermen, who toured extensively nationally, regionally, and locally in the Northwest. Currently, he runs with many other overeducated and underappreciated bleeding heart liberals who work as bartenders.
