I have a lot else to say about this in other places but suffice to say I did not make it to the Thursday meeting. This time it was because I am too much of a nightowl to make it to the far west side at 10am, but that I don&#8217;t expect them to adjust their schedule on my account. I also think it would have been weird for me to be there when a topic of discussion was going to be the jingle street theater. I assumed they knew I was the one doing this but it doesn&#8217;t sound like they retained anything from what I showed them about a year ago, maybe longer. Now that I know they do not seem to think it is I behind the loudspeaker noise I think I&#8217;d prefer to keep it that way. To be present in that discussion without letting on that I&#8217;m the one doing it would feel weirdly sociopathic.<\/p>\n<p>There is a spot a few minutes in to this call where you can hear someone announcing something over the terminal&#8217;s public address system. What&#8217;s amazing is that the sound was\u00a0<em>really<\/em> loud but that through the payphone it is pretty well muzzled. The same sound hear through one of those awful kiosks would overwhelm the sound of the call.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s me, calling from a Grand Central payphone, talking about how the activist group wants me to align with them but I&#8217;m not so sure.
