My partner in crime DLS recently returned from Chicago’s AWP and I’m eagerly awaiting the next batch of interview videos via Federal Distress. I’m hoping that it arrives by the weekend so I can begin to hack and slash it to bits in time for this year’s Left Forum. While I don’t know the contents of the latest batch I’m assured by DLS they are phenomenal. That’s all the reassurance I need.
We (Mostly DSL talking and me showing pretty pictures barring any technical difficulties) will be heading up a panel at the Left Forum on March 17th at high noon. The panel is called:
Try to say that five times fast. Details on the location, other speakers and the panel itself can be found at the link above as well as at the end of this blog. Tickets for the day I believe are $25 dollars. If you are in the NYC area I suggest you go, if not for us, than the many other panels being conducted over the weekend. Michael Moore has been recently confirmed by the Left Forum as their main speaker on Saturday night at 7:30. Hope to see some familiar faces there.
The other big news (which technically I shouldn’t be blabbing about until it’s locked in) is that we *may* have a huge sponsor to help promote ‘Junct in the form of the mother of all road trips. We are currently in negotiations with the sponsors trying to crunch numbers to make this crazy cross country trip a reality. So please keep your fingers crossed and your couches available. The preliminary route includes: DC, KY, TN, LA, TX, NM, CA, WA, IL, IN & OH. Which I’ve dubbed the music & food porn run. It will take approximately two weeks to conduct. The other two routes consist of a NE run and a Snowbird run, each clocking in around a week give or take a day, depending on how much I mash the pedal to the floor. I plan to vlog each day of the trip (so expect bizarre stuff here). I’ve already got a few volunteers for certain legs of the journey to help with the driving and to fend of boredom.
That said, I have a feeling DLS and I will be spearheading a crowd funding campaign to make these trips happen.
