Halloween
It's Halloween weekend and I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone's going to come up with......I'm going as an aging porn star.............Just think "Whatever happened to Baby Jane" and naughty school girl uniform........
YIKES
I'm sitting here mulling over the whole Blog thing.....so far I've just been jotting down banal ramblings and I think it's time to choose a writing style, or flavor, if you will....
I've noticed most of the popular blogs have fairly short entires........which is my downfall.........I can be a bit wordy in conveying my thoughts....
What tone should I take?.sardonic....acerbic....ironic....the list goes on and on, as I encounter each of these viewpoints during the course of any given day...............or should it just be scattered........should I develop a "persona" and write satire?
hummmm

NC Seafood festival and other stuff
I'm thinking of sending a letter into the editor of the local paper..........the Seafood festival this year was awful.hardly anyone showed (compared to year's past) and I have definate ideas why it is going downhill
1) It is no longer North Carolina seafood......there were no local shrimp at the Festival this year, and the smaller booths that were selling seafood were selling over breaded stuff that barely passes for seafood - example.I bought 5 shrimp fritters for 5 dollars.only to find that there were no shrimp in them.I had paid 5 dollars for fried cornmeal lumps.
2) It costs too much for most local groups to participate, so you lose the local "Flavor"
3) They have vendors from out of state that are selling frozen seafood, and undercut the smaller organizations that in the past have been the heart and soul of the Festival.
The NC Seafood festival started out as a wonderful way to promote the Seafood industry here, but with "organization" it has simply become about profits. They need to use local groups only, use fresh seafood, or they will find the numbers dwindling year after year after year. With the current gas crunch, it costs too much for tourists to come from out of State, and with the poor quality of seafood being offered there is no incintive to invest that much in coming down to the coast. The local people who could make up the difference have no interest in coming because the seafood is not of the quality that they are used to.
I hope the Seafood festival Board wakes up soon.
