Flushed Out
201k received an email yesterday from the local PBS show "Greater Boston" soliciting guests for a show devoted to political blogs. It's to be shot on Monday.
After some internal debate we returned the call and agreed, but a confirmation call never came. This is for the best, as we were ambivalent about it from the beginning, for the same reasons we decided not to attend the DNC. The reasons themselves aren't important; suffice it to say the creators of 201k feel no need to wander far from home -- just the opposite, in fact.
Of course, it could be that after reading our post of July 29th, "Greater Boston" figured, "screw this guy". Wouldn't blame them.
In any event, it's possible that they'll call to invite us, though Monday would be short notice at this point, especially given how nice the weather has been. Meaning, we've done no preparation, and probably won't. There's a neighbor's birthday party this evening, dinner guests tomorrow, etc. We do have our priorities in order around here.
It boils down to this: if it gets to the point that we'd have to wash off the suntan oil to be a blogger, then what's the point?
