... Golden Harvest Food Sort ...

The scene takes place in San Jose at the Golden Harvest food sort facility (wait – isn’t Golden Harvest a Kung-fu movie studio? How ironic). A large warehouse sits in the background, filled with all that warehousy stuff – cool little forklifts that they will not let you touch – but they are more than happy to drive them around the place with those buddy buddy looks on their faces expressing sheer delight over the unimaginable amount of joy and happiness they derive from pulling donuts in the forklifts.


Stage goes dark (or rather suns sets completely). 6 o’ clock just hit. The staff at the facility waste no time in breaking up the volunteers into little functional groups. They read what must have been a good two pages of directions as they attempt to explain how the evening’s activities will be carried out. Nobody listens. In an out of the other ear as expected. Total chaos starts to reign …

Loud Voice 1**: 4BBE56M … To the right, 7NSB9767H … in the other box.
Even Louder Voice 2**: Which one was the veggie can again
Medium Pitched Voice 3**: 4BDA56N
Normal Voice 2: Ok
Extremely Loud Voice 1: Wait! 4BDA56N goes in the beans pile not the veggies pile
Voice 3 (with a tone of accomplishment engulfed in confusion): Damn! Ok.

The food sort activity was pretty fun. With people like Dez trying to “hook shot” cans into containers and Zack showing up like the block monster he is. The theme of the night was basically number and letter combinations. Lots of combinations each corresponding to something different; beans, veggies, mysterious stuff (I am not kidding on this one), beans with labels, beans that needed labels that weren’t just beans, … the list goes on and on. As always, we took the regular corny “look at me, I am sorting cans” photos that we use to blatantly show you much fun we are having. We closed up with a good old family style Italian dinner at Buca di Beppo. Fun times. All in the spirit of impacting our community positively.
