Yesterday, Peter Spear announced that he was abandoning his run for mayor. Three days earlier, on Saturday, August 16, when he was still very much a candidate, Spear held his second "Neighbors" event, a public conversation about Hudson, this time with Nicole Vidor. The event was recorded by Karl Frederick Mattson of 542films. That video can now be viewed here.
Spear planned to do two more "Neighbors" events before the November election: in September with Quintin Cross; in October with former mayor Tiffany Martin. Presumably, neither of those conversations will happen now that he has withdrawn from the mayoral race.
I strongly suggested to Peter yesterday to keep doing them. I think there's a need for these types of events and public conversations.
ReplyDeleteAnd now that he's no longer running for mayor, he can finally be the one interviewing his guests rather than the other way round. Peter put an ingenious twist on the whole thing to secretly be the interviewee and thus having a recurring stage helping his campaign.
This can and should become a real world series of what the Community Library of Voice and Sound is.
