The Musical Life of Tony Valle

Me: So I’m going to be using this camera to do live streaming of my piano concerts.  Does it have video out through firewire or usb?

Store Clerk: Absolutely.  You can totally do live streaming with this baby.  It’s the bomb.

Me: Great.  So which one does it have - firewire or usb video out?

Store Clerk: Um, I don’t… you can do either.  It has both. Yeah, this unit is slick man.  You should totally get this.

Me: Thanks.  I just want to make sure that it has the proper video out that I need because I don’t want to have to deal with your “restocking” fee of 10%.  That would really piss me off.

Store Clerk: Dude, I am straight up on this one.  (Long, uncomfortable pause) But to be totally honest sir, I don’t really work in this section.  I’m just filling in for my man Jose.  He’s on a smoke break.  So I don’t technically KNOW that this has what you need, but Sony is a big name, probably the biggest.  So if they don’t have it, nobody does.

Me: Ugh.
