SITREP, UPDATE ON CHRISTMAS OBSERVANCE and MONESTARY VISIT, APPEAL FOR PRODUCTION ASSISTANCE (EDIT - CHANGE IN DATE!!!! PLZ READ)
12/5/2023
EDIT- RESCHEDULED for 12/23!!!! (SATURDAY) EVERYTHING ELSE (TIME AND MEETING PLACE) IS THE SAME!
HI EVERYONE!
First and foremost, I want to announce that our VISIT to pay homage to PAVLE DURISIC and visit the ORTHODOX MONESTARY on adjacent grounds will be HELD on THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21st. We’ll MEET at the VILLAGE GREEN PARK in NORTHBROOK, IL at 10AM - address is 1810 WALTERS AVENUE, NORTHBROOK, IL. From there, we will travel NORTH to LIBERTYVILLE and visit the GROUNDS. If at least TWO OTHERS show up, we will continue as planned. I anticipate a respectable turnout, as I’ve yet to be disappointed when I organize these events.
Moving on, I am sure people are tired of hearing me APOLOGIZE for the state of my WORKFLOW and delays in release of SEASON 2 of the PODCAST; I feel like I spend my life apologizing for this. I NEED PRODUCTION HELP - DESPERATELY. ALTERNATIVELY, I NEED to purchase the GEAR I need to be able to edit my AUDIO such that the product isn’t something I’m EMBARRASSED to release on grounds the quality has DETERIORATED since I began this thing.
If ANYONE IS ABLE/WILLING to allow me to send them AUDIO files of the POD as I record it, and add in INTRO and OUTRO music and perform BASIC editing, I WILL PAY YOU. If I must do this MYSELF, like I said, that will set me back FURTHER and continue this endless loop of seeming paralysis. I’ll DO IT if nobody bites/replies with interest, but that will require TIME and FUNDRAISING and I’d prefer NOT to go that route.
THANKFULLY, in the MEANTIME, I have been accepting about EVERY invitation to appear on other CONTENT CREATORS’ pods, streams despite fact I WANT to scale back on this so as to make progress on my MANUSCRIPTS - I am DOING this to stay active and keep FRESH content coming even though its NOT mine own. I particularly owe PETE QUINONES a great DEBT in this regard - and I’ll continue to collaborate with HIM so long as he’s willing to HOST me - the REST of it however, and in NO WAY is this meant to deman ANYBODY who hosts me - has gotta begin taking a backseat to my OWN work product or I’m pissing into the WIND. I’m NOT getting YOUNGER - I NEED to resolve this matter NOW.
I AM at long last going to begin SHOOTING video footage for DIRECT upload to SUBSTACK with my new GIMBAL. I am thinking the WEEK after I return from VIRGINIA on 12/18.
I HATE to resort ONCE AGAIN to BEGGAR-THY-NEIGHBOR bullshit because it makes me feel like an ASSHOLE - but I AM going to drop a FUNDRAISING APPEAL at this time as well - in order to get production up to SPEED (assuming at least for the TIME being I’m going to be forced to handle my OWN production and editing) I need to raise around $1,000. You can DONATE at CASH APP - CASH APP ID is $7homas777.
Our peoples have been and remain incredibly GENEROUS to me and to this BRAND. TO BE CLEAR - I do NOT have personal money woes. At ALL. I exclusively am CASH POOR as regards my BRAND/PRODUCTION/BUSINESS needs. So do NOT donate CASH YOU NEED FOR YOURSELF because you LIKE ME and MY CONTENT and think I am STARVING or something. That is NOT the case at all. I am just irritated at the WORKFLOW situation and was relying on FRESH content to cover our production overhead - but that CONTENT can’t be forthcoming until I EDIT IT MYSELF, failing assistance from without.
All I GOT - I’ve HUGE LOVE for everybody here. I reflect on that a LOT lately. 7/88 - T
I’d love to have you on my channel to talk a bit more about the Troubles in Ulster - we only touched the surface of that topic when we were on AA’s Cigar Stream discussing it last year. Is Twitter the best place to DM you about that?
I’m off work! Count me in.
