I vote downtown. There was only someone there for yes and no one for no. It was a woman with a baby in a stroller and there was a light drizzle. I told her this is a strange cause to be so passionate about you would electioneer with your baby in the rain. She didn’t think I was funny.

I would start with a run for one of the open school board seats before getting too far out there yet.

When was the last time you had your home reinsulated in the attic and crawl space? My parents did that and it was a game changer for their home in the winter and summer.

I'll be a yes. The Galloway neighborhood never wants to any development down there and has been opposed to everything. They're the definition of NIMBY. It's the largest swath of undeveloped land in the city. So it's going to happen at some point. Plus it sets a bad precedent for future development if it's voted down.

Yes, I've done underground raves many years ago including the ones that Springfield used to have in the warehouses under the Grant Street bridge near downtown as a teenager in the 2000s and the few that used to happen at Remington's downtown (RIP awesome venue). I do a few big festivals every year too. So getting Odyssey sold out on a Sunday night is as close as we are getting to a rave in Springfield these days.

I talked to the headliner DJ's tour manager last night and he was impressed we could sell out the venue. He was doubtful it would be busy and would keep us down to recommend to his counterparts for touring. Hopefully this can start to get us on the map for more acts to come through. Liquid Stranger is there in 3 weeks which is another huge get.
