This photo of the group was taken when DJ Absolute (Cory Gerlach, far right) lived above me in an apartment building in Pettigrew Heights. He was always so polite, always asking me if it was okay that he would be practicing and if it was bothering me. I told him that I actually enjoyed it.
I always knew these guys would go far. Check out the story over at the Argus.

This audit is similar to wiping your butt 8 hours after you took a crap . . . but I will keep an open mind 
As you saw in a previous post, the city council will be accepting public input on boulevard gardens tomorrow, but like the time your cable repairman says he will be by to fix your cable, the council seems to be taking the same approach;
Land Use Committee, *** 4:30 PM
*** Committee Meeting will start immediately following the adjournment of 4 pm Informational Meeting.
Which pretty much means anytime between 4:05-6:55 PM.
I brought this up on the Argus ‘100 Eyes’ show today, and Patrick Lalley agreed that it wasn’t a very good way of handling public input. He suggested a special meeting at a specific time to address an issue like this. I rarely agree with Pat, but he is right. Don’t tell us you are accepting public input, but can’t give us a specific time when it will occur. People have busy schedules and don’t have the luxury of sitting around for 3 hours waiting for an opportunity to speak. I will be surprised if anyone shows up, in which the council will use as an excuse that no one cares about the issue.
Funny how the council and mayor are always asking for ‘respect’ yet don’t show the same respect towards the people who pay their wages.
Ritch Noble will be running for the At-Large seat currently held by Staggers. Not sure if Kermit will be running for re-election due to health reasons, if not, it would seem it is a two man race right now, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. I have had other names thrown at me considering a run for Kermit’s seat. I wouldn’t be surprised to see 4-5 people running for the seat. I will admit it is an exciting time for city government.
I don’t know much about Ritch, only that I was familiar with his name and his business Active Data Systems. He has a good resume, and will be a candidate to keep your eye on. I also think his youth will give him a leg up over the only announced challenger.
Good Luck Ritch!
