93
00:16:18.280 --> 00:16:21.649
Keith Harrison: Yeah, while we're while we're talking, it can be happening. So

94
00:16:22.170 --> 00:16:30.799
Keith Harrison: we may have to just uh do this between you and me as an informal discussion, since we don't have a forum.

95
00:16:30.860 --> 00:16:34.040
Keith Harrison: We're set for we're set for uh

96
00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:38.920
Keith Harrison: twelve to um at the uh by the running shop,

97
00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:46.019
Keith Harrison: and that's right across from It's right across from Jolina. I I

98
00:16:46.230 --> 00:16:53.179
Erica Moore: In my email uh, I sent the address out to you and everybody.

99
00:16:53.930 --> 00:17:03.589
Erica Moore: So behind on everything. It's been so crazy at work. Yeah, and i'm working with a new assistant trying to get my taxes on some old tax if i'm dealing with it's like

100
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:06.499
like rebuilding a bunch of stuff. So

101
00:17:06.690 --> 00:17:09.989
Keith Harrison: so we got four o'clock we can set up,

102
00:17:10.180 --> 00:17:18.710
Keith Harrison: and what it is is that the the running shop is got a bungalow right next door to them, so we can set up on the sidewalk right in front of it.

103
00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:26.359
Keith Harrison: And so it's just a matter of meeting you and your van there and unloading, and then, uh,

104
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:29.160
Keith Harrison: you'll have to find some place to park,

105
00:17:29.320 --> 00:17:39.350
Erica Moore: You know what, if anything, I might even just take the car out. Because, see, this is the problem. I have issues on Friday night I might be able to switch

106
00:17:39.760 --> 00:17:43.209
Erica Moore: switch something there so that I can stay,

107
00:17:43.360 --> 00:17:47.419
Erica Moore: because normally, Friday nights are not good for me. Um,

108
00:17:47.620 --> 00:17:51.830
Erica Moore: because that's what I have a whole workout. That's my like, you know, like i'm

109
00:17:51.990 --> 00:17:59.440
Erica Moore: I for the trainer and everything in it at night on Friday, but but doesn't mean I can't maybe switch it that week to Thursday or something.

110
00:17:59.790 --> 00:18:08.540
Keith Harrison: So I figured. Yeah, we we set up at four, and then if you could be back by nine, thirty,

111
00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:10.180
Erica Moore: totally,

112
00:18:10.790 --> 00:18:13.739
Keith Harrison: and we'll load up and we'll be done.

113
00:18:14.330 --> 00:18:17.689
Erica Moore: Okay, Yeah, I mean, I could do from four to

114
00:18:17.870 --> 00:18:18.750
Erica Moore: like.

115
00:18:18.910 --> 00:18:37.390
Erica Moore: I'll be there the whole time. It looks like we won't. Have anybody from Ntp. They will come to the uh

116
00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:41.100
Erica Moore: the City Court plaza tree lighting every year for

117
00:18:44.700 --> 00:18:54.710
Keith Harrison: other than that. I think we're We're pretty well set, we uh aren't gonna I mean, I've got literature. I've got the the um

118
00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:57.110
Keith Harrison: tablecloth.

119
00:18:57.230 --> 00:19:11.250
Keith Harrison: I think, down the line we're I think we may use. I may propose that we use some of our outreach money to buy a table cloth that says something like resilient Venice on it, or something that will,

120
00:19:11.260 --> 00:19:26.750
Keith Harrison: and we'll. We'll use the the same logo as the Vnc. Because we're a Vnc. Committee, and the same colors, but something that will draw somebody over, you know. Um, you know Brazil yet Venice or Venice resilience something like that.

121
00:19:26.940 --> 00:19:31.209
Keith Harrison: Um! So does somebody go? What's that? They come over?

122
00:19:31.540 --> 00:19:32.390
Keith Harrison: So

123
00:19:33.560 --> 00:19:49.019
Erica Moore: it might be good to use something that I always, or maybe we can have some signage or something that um for a banner that we could put up in the tent, you know,

124
00:19:49.030 --> 00:19:57.220
Erica Moore: to something on the on the legs, you know. That would be nice,

125
00:19:57.540 --> 00:20:17.020
Erica Moore: and they're not that expensive. The banners are not crazy. Yeah, even the table costs aren't that bad, I mean, they really are. I would just say, though, if you get table cause um, there's different ones that work better for draping, and things like that than other. In some cases. Don't laugh. But a lot of times. We've used sheets,

126
00:20:17.030 --> 00:20:36.240
Erica Moore: because sometimes you can get some really great colors or prints, or whatever, and it and they're easy to wash, and they're inexpensive like a target. You could get really nice ones get like a twin size or um. I know how to. You know we've got the the official one. I just trying to get something dead

127
00:20:36.250 --> 00:20:45.250
Erica Moore: that identifies us as something to come over rather than somebody. Oh, it's Neighborhood Council. It's that whatever you know,

128
00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:50.260
Erica Moore: we have anything for handouts or anything for this, or what do we have going on for that?

129
00:20:50.770 --> 00:21:02.280
Keith Harrison: Uh, I've got? I've got the literature, and we can. You know i'll bring a sign in sheet, and we can just talk to people about what they You know what they think, what they want to see.

130
00:21:02.310 --> 00:21:07.140
Keith Harrison: Why, they're not doing, you know, in a nice way Why, they're not doing anything

131
00:21:07.270 --> 00:21:18.250
Erica Moore: uh what we could do to engage them. And uh,

132
00:21:18.260 --> 00:21:31.519
Erica Moore: what if there's a tsunami, or what are you gonna do with with when there's the big earthquake, or how you you know How is your Is your family ready for to do, or

133
00:21:31.530 --> 00:21:39.339
Erica Moore: something that makes it go like, Oh, my God, yeah, that's right. Whoa, You know I don't have a plan or um,

134
00:21:39.520 --> 00:21:50.019
Erica Moore: you know, and maybe like we can help, or you know we're here for you. So we're in this, and learning how to be resilient in in the event of an emergency,

135
00:21:51.610 --> 00:22:09.620
Erica Moore: do they? I think, for like for me, I don't know. Maybe it's just me. But sometimes for me the word resiliency, I don't connect it with like like other stuff. So it doesn't like, I don't immediately go like Oh, my God! That's not like being prepared, and I don't think of it like that

136
00:22:09.630 --> 00:22:16.929
Erica Moore: I think we're like. Oh, my God, I went through a tragedy, and i'm going to be okay. I'm going to be Brazil, you know.

137
00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:25.759
Keith Harrison: So what It looks like

138
00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:41.030
Keith Harrison: we don't have anybody on board but you and me. So I think we're unless you've got something more. I think we'll just uh uh we'll send emails to each other before uh first Friday

139
00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:47.249
Keith Harrison: and um see each other then, and I hope you have a happy Thanksgiving.

140
00:22:48.520 --> 00:22:56.500
Erica Moore: It' be quiet. It'll be a well, I I do actually work that day because we do food for meals on wheels. But

141
00:22:56.620 --> 00:23:02.079
Erica Moore: uh, yeah, So basically holidays are kind of like, not always for me, but

142
00:23:02.170 --> 00:23:20.900
Keith Harrison: we'll be in San Diego. We'll be in San Diego visiting family and friends down there, and we'll be having it. Um. We Usually we had a tradition of I mean many traditions, but the latest was was actually going to the San Diego Zoo, which we're members of,

143
00:23:20.910 --> 00:23:34.399
Keith Harrison: and we go to the they were. They had a really good buffet, and so we would go. We would take the bus around, get in the sky Fari buckets, and to him really it was the only

144
00:23:34.410 --> 00:23:47.879
