Yes, my venue was on the same street and I went through a lot of the same/similar drama that he has made very public as well as some other drama that is a book worth of story time. If I had instead invested my dads money in say... property in the east bay (at the time, it was pretty low compared with today), then I would have been 'rich' as well. Live and learn.
