Host ,'Why We Fight'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
right?!
This is the same woman who wanted me to have coffee and cake with my volunteers every week, which means everyday to catch all of them. I want to have one BIG hurrah and be done with it until the Christmas party. (This is the same non-profit that canceled the last one and we had to do a secret pot luck appreciation dinner out of our own pockets)
I love the Weavers version of "House of the Rising Sun," sung by Ronnie Gilbert. A great bluesy torch song.
When the Great Peace March was in NJ, The Weavers, featuring Ronnie Gilbert, did a fundraiser for us. I asked my lovely hosts, June (as in Junius) and Bea if they wanted to go with my work partner and I. June asked, "Do they draw a rough crowd?"
You'd have to know Ronnie Gilbert to get how funny that is.
Still, we had a wonderful time and the concert was just amazing.
June asked, "Do they draw a rough crowd?"
The Weavers?
Ronnie Gilbert??
"Rough crowd"???
Hee!!
I've been a Weavers fan since college, since I read an article on their blacklisting in my history seminar class on Hoover's FBI, and checked out some of their albums from the library. My dad raised me on Kingston Trio and Peter, Paul, and Mary, but he wasn't well-versed with the Weavers, so I've been introducing him to them in the past few years.
There is no such thing as too much food.

I was having a freakout about getting a washer and dryer through the basement door. Went over and measured it. I think I'm ok.
Aw, Chuck! I love a good safe-sex message on TV.
Having mover issues. Not happy. Extra panicked calls in to others. Why didn't I do this a week ago? Oh yeah, a week ago I still didn't believe. Still really don't. Well, if there is going to be one major cockup, this would be it.
Oh and a little water in basement. Like a cup. At least now I know the source and have a good feel for solutions.
Oh yeah, I fucked this one up. Had one "sure thing" with multiple recs who hasn't responded since last week with a "sure." Had 2 more turndowns. Fuck.me.
I hate fucking up.
