Ahem.
So today we set up in the Short North, right across from Skully's. We went out with Austin's friend Ethan just for kicks, and didn't get much traffic. Most of our talking was done with two guys. The first was Red.
Red was a homeless guy who claimed he'd served in the military, one of a few who were standing across the street from where we were set up. Also across the street was a building under construction that would likely house condos. This pissed Red off in a big way. He was angry really at the gentrification that was occurring in that area in general, and it's understandable. He also mooched some money off of us for cigarettes. Also used the phrase "straight talk" a lot. Honestly, not that sure how I feel about Red. Didn't seem educated, but wasn't stupid and definitely had opinions he was willing to share. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true-sorry.
The second guy we talked to was a very vocal businessman who was interested in us maybe contributing footage to his "internet-based TV station". I don't want to go into the details too much, because they are going to launch soon but haven't yet, but suffice to say, he was rather ambitious with his aims, and was somewhat determined to get us to sign on. This could be interesting, or it could be a dud. We'll see.
