Hi Hudson,
Every week, I start off Monday, saying to myself, “This is the week the newsletter goes out on Thursday!”
That’s Monday. Tuesday, then Wednesday comes and goes, and I don’t even know what happened, but I’m already behind.
By Thursday, events are rolling in. A show is added, another one cancelled, and what’s the time on the tag sale? People need to know! I have video of a Hudson Tango class that still has to be imported and edited and photos to be resized. There’s no time!
But then, THIS happens! A Shelley Duvall Fan Club sticker! Hold the press!
If someone has a Shelley Duvall Fan Club decal on the back of their car parked on Warren Street, I HAVE to take the picture and post it. I cannot help myself.
Then one day, I’m driving back along Joslyn, (I avoid Fairview) and OMG they updated Sasquatch! PULL THE CAR OVER! Get a picture! There goes the schedule and any deadlines!
So, here I am, it’s Friday night, and I’m still updating events and posting about farmers and tango classes. The tango class story is going to be next week – it’s very sweet.
Who knew there would be so much to write about every week in a little city of less than six thousand people!
