The closed captioning on the live video is worth a humorous look. It labeled member Jason Walsmith as the "Wrecking Tourist". His column on the Collaborative is name The Racontourist. The transcriptionist (AI) thought that Kurt Meyer wrote a column called "Throwing Up" when he actually said, Showing Up.
Upon further reflection, it would be nice to record and retain these freewheeling sessions for their historical significance. Sort of a cool people’s Nixon tapes for future reference. After all, we’re your x-rated fans, technically proponents of open meetings, and none of us are likely to live forever, right?
I’d wager you would be surprised by how many of us would pay a stipend just for the privilege of listening and watching, this esteemed collection of men and women of letters chatting and exchanging witticisms around a table. A virtual round table at the Algonquin experience.
Listening to the prattle around Chuck O’s old barstool would be a hoot as well. Why not try it, see how much you’d raise for the next OWC retreat scholarship fund.
Unfortunately, the Hawthorn effect on your group might stifle the best and juiciest conversations!

I hope the retreat goes very well, all!
So sorry to have missed the live show today. Glad you taped it because it’s always something I look forward to!
