So today turned into an interesting day. I decided that because Atlanta and NC were really turning out to be a bust I would re-jigger my trip. It’s not hard to find anti-Semitic events in the South and I did just that. So from Charlottesville I am heading down to Charleston SC to cover an event from last July in Marion Park. I have reached out to a journalist and an Activist down there. I hope to hear back from both. Then on the the way to Montgomery I am stopping in Greenville which did not have any hate crime legislation on the book until January of last year. I reached out to a Rabbi in Greenville.
Lets hope something comes of this .
Shifting gears, a friend of Mitch’s who runs part of the Florida Renn Festival just fired his blacksmith and he is trying to get me the gig. The kicker is, his friend Peter knew Adam from back in the day and apparently saw Ten Thousand Movies. Crazy small world. This would be an amazing seven week gig working weekends in Florida in the middle of the winter. Can’t beat that with a stick. I will be hanging out with him when I get to Florida.
Tomorrow is the last day to get everything ready to go. Then it is off to PA Saturday morning and on to Baltimore.
I can’t believe we are here. Time flies.
Oh and Jest might be coming home early due to covid.
