Comrades off to the front lines...
On Thursday, August 26, Big Muddy IMC will be sending a carload of reporters to New York City to cover the Republican National Convention for the people of Southern Illinois. I considered going along myself, but with so much transition in my life at the moment, including the impending publication of my first book, I am choosing to stay behind. So, along with the rest of the local supporters of independent media, I'll be stopping by the IMC to celebrate their departure and pass along my best wishes for their safe return. Mad Muddy Love to y'all for headin' out there!
For the latest news on their journey, you can turn to http://bigmuddyimc.org. If anything big happens, I'll post about it on my blog ASAP, if not sooner. In the meantime, they'll be keeping us posted at the website, along with some live remotes through the "morning talk block" on WDBX 91.1 FM in Southern Illinois. If you're looking for local coverage that goes beyond what the corporate media will be telling you, these are the places for you to turn!
In other news, my life is going through a lot of transition at the moment! My schedule at the Co-op is shifting around a bit, including a net gain in hours and some wonderful new work as a produce assistant. The final details of my book are coming together -- cover art for the front from my sister, text for the back cover just completed tonight, and some final revisions of the main text within the next several weeks. [Many thanks to my reviewers for their suggestions!] Once all of those last ingredients come together, it'll be time to publish! And, on Friday I have the big Interfaith Center 24 Hour Yard Sale to go to. AND, on Saturday, the first Saturday Night Live! of the semester is coming together. *AND*, also on Saturday, I'll be having my first night of Salsa dancing! Is it just me, or is my life starting to get as fun as a barrel of monkeys?
Finally, on that note, I must say that I'm feeling pretty darn good at the moment. I've got food in my belly, a roof over my head, meaningful work in the community, and plenty of prospects for the future. Sure, I still get frustrated and/or stressed out sometimes, but on the whole, life is looking good. It's a good thing I decided to stick around, eh? Anyway, sleep calls, so that's all for tonight, folks. But be sure to tune in next time -- Same Tree Time, Same Tree Channel!
