Salutations™!!

Whew! I have spent the entire day compiling a list of restaurants in WSNC and what they’re doing during the gathering lockdown. I’m not going to mention that pesky bug going around because Facebook poo-poos on that. Anywhat! Over at The Man Who Ate the Town, I posted (and will continue to post and update) this post. Support your local businesses.

Until tomorrow, wash your damn hands…

Salutations™!!

I was going to tell you that you should come and see me at my booth tomorrow for the Industry Hill Block Party that is happening on 9th Street. Well, I won’t be there. The rain or potential for said rain is keeping the outdoor booths and vendors from happening. The things that were going to go on inside Ramkat, Wiseman Brewing or Winston Junction Market will still happen and some of the bigger things like the main stage, panel discussions and such will move inside, as well. 59832692_2453552568030671_3895484450699476992_n

Here is the official statement for the block party, per Mixxer the organizers of the event:

We have made some changes to this event, due to expected thunderstorms all day tomorrow. We have cancelled [sic] the outdoor portion of the event along 9th St., and Krankies Craft Fair at Mixxer is relocating to The Ramkat. We have moved the panel discussions inside Mixxer. At 1pm we’ll hold a discussion on “The Future of Industry Hill” and at 3pm we’ll have a panel about “Entrepreneurship in Winston-Salem.”

WS Ambassadors 2nd Saturdays is still on, Wherehouse Art Hotel Art Mart will be going strong, and Winston Junction Market will be going from 11am.

The weather isn’t cooperating, but we’re gonna have a great time nonetheless. Please share our posts this evening to help spread word of changes.

So there will still be awesome things and you should go by there! Stay dry. Have fun.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!

The Kindest of Words or: One’s Place in the World

3B, Christmas for the City, community, humbled, kind words, words, WSNC

Salutations™!!

As the city starts blowing away the smoke created by the negative befuzzlement of the last week, tonight the annual “Christmas for the City” happened at the Benton Convention Center. 3B volunteered both for experience and because it is extra credit for his Culinary Arts class in school. download (1)

I went with him because Thursdays are our nights together and if he went, I’d be home by myself, which is never a bad thing, but I wanted to tag along. Plus, he doesn’t have is “after 9’s” yet, so he can’t drive after 9pm. Plus (again), the weather is horrid and he’s never driven downtown after dark, especially in the rain, he didn’t really know what he was doing and to my knowledge, he’s never driven or parked in a parking deck before. So, I know he needs experience in all of those things, but that night wasn’t tonight.

I noticed there was a lot going on and I knew very few people there and the crowd was around 3000-4000. In the words of Eug… “I hate this…”

So, I got to thinking… hmmm, I’m at the convention center. It’s on Fifth and Cherry. What else is at Fifth and Cherry? Yes!!! Small Batch. I hadn’t been there in a while and I figured now was a great time for it. So, I started meandering down that way, getting a little people watching in along the way. Then, I happened on a figure I knew. I won’t mention any names but he is one of my father’s best friends and a former mayor of a local “village.”

He asked how I was and then he said, “you know, I started to say something on Facebook, but I decided not to, but it is amazing how ‘engrained’ you are in this community.”

I started saying something else, but then realized the capacity of that statement.

I told him that I love my city and I feel that I need to educate the public that lives in this city about how awesome the city really is; the people, the places, the organizations, the being. And I mean the awe-some not just some 80s “rad statement.” He repeated again that it was amazing. I thanked him, wholeheartedly for that. He too is pretty big in the city’s scene and he’s known me since I was about 17 or 18, so he’s seen me grow up. That’s 30 years. He remarked about how if there are things going on, I’m somehow always involved. Somehow.

After that, I saw Allan Younger, who has been on TLD at least three times and he introduced me to an associate of his (I can’t remember his name but he should be emailing me soon) and Allan told him about what I do and how involved with stuff I am.

I think I sometimes take my position for granted. I don’t want to do that and I also don’t want to come across as braggadocious because as outward, self-deprecating and conceited I like to come off, a lot of that is a gag. It’s for “show.” On the other hand, don’t allow me to take myself too seriously. At least I try. And, I really, really hope that this comes across to the public. I really do care about this city and I love being part of most everything that I am able to be. I just see myself as “doing my job” and sometimes don’t recognize the magnitude at which I do what I do. I think it’s good that I keep grounded but I have to also realize that I have a responsibility that is bigger than just myself.

To hear words from Mr. Former Mayor and Allan Younger, knowing who and what those two gentlemen are to the city, It brings you to Earth a little bit. Thank you to both of you for those words and your support.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!
