So got up to check sugar level, a bit high but in range. And then looked at my email. Everyday Farmers Almanac posts this thing of best things to do today. On there are articles that were there a month to two months ago. Do they not have anything new or just gotten lazy?
Then last night caught the weekly Twin Falls City council meeting. That I was cheering Rebecca on just about every motion she made and also voted against, I like her, not only because she’s the best looking city council member I have ever met, but she speaks her mind and doesn’t let the rest muscle her out.
Chris Talkington, is not a person I trust anywhere. The peanut brain tried to swindle me out of a office rental many, many years ago, then after , blocked ever attempt at our entrance to getting club business on KMVT, even when I was working next door at KLIX then. That’s why we bust butt building on firing our own station if we still can put the blocks back together. That’s kinda a long process, over the last several years through ten moves, of radio gig hq, that equipment has been either left behind or we could retrieve it in time to recover it. Any mile, so was watching. For nearly 20 minutes the city discussed this big damn canyon jump. Hey Twin falls City wake up here. Here is the Knytes-of-Anarchy, bidding a 4 day 3 night gig in 2015 in Filer, called DukeFest that will funnel about 300,000 people through Twin Falls. Many eating, at restaurants , café’ and such, buying gas, sleeping at motels. And yet we don’t get this much attention. Added to that CMT, and the entire Hazzard Nation will be center field here in Twin Falls, many with deep pockets and big companies, yet no howdy nothing to us.
Which brings me back to the council meeting Monday night.
The idea of hiring a person to be a consultant on this Canyon jump, with knowledge of all facets of it from aviation mechanicals to media, was brought up. The objection by Rebecca was why spend more money? My suggestion, Rebecca, remember the tow truck owner/operator you discarded last week, who told you he had that experience and was willing to be that consultant? That person is me. 25 years as a Marine combat pilot, associates like Paul Baxley who oversaw all the auto stunts on the Dukes of Hazzard, has been in media for better that 30 years and knows this town, its vision and its people. My charge for my services? Zero, that’s right no charge. But have I gotten a phone call? As far as producing an event, although Rebecca your too young to remember, but in 1975 it was me and the club that was founded, here , that produced the biggest big rig truck, cb/biker jamboree in this areas history. Over 200,000 people went through the gates over there, vendors, and more, we did it, 80% of that work I did. We worked with all public agencies, and in all very little if any real off grounds rowdiness occurred. That record speaks for itself.
But from watching Monday nights City Council meeting on TV, it was quite apparent , that the city of Twin Falls might have bitten off a bunch more than they can chew.
DukesFest West, next edition.
