We had a band scheduled but their banjo player had to move to cheltenham so we don't have a band tonight

SO

I called everyone I know and asked them to come out and play some

SO

I'm not sure what's gonna happen but it'll be memorable.

Also

I seem to have be struck with full time employment again which starts tomorrow and I'm kind of freaking out so any advice isn't amiss. It's the first time i'll be back in an office in 3 years. What if i can't hack it? It's remote mostly but dang, not at all sure.

I've seen trainings offered (haven't signed up), called city and local police to see if we had one (they insisted they weren 't allowed to tell me), asked around but haven't found anyone in my circle who has participated.

Does anyone have any insight into what the program does? and is it useful?

there's not much substantive on phila.gov.

Big fun in the spring time.

Have you heard about it?

Are you going?

Have you been in previous years?

I'm wondering if there's a way to embrace this as a local festival.

Maybe a discount ticket for 19127/28 residents?

Full disclosure - I don't work for Sing Us Home but i'd love to be able to find ways to get them more involved in the RoxYunk community. Localize it! as it were.

It'll be fun!

The Schist Creek Stompers!
