We revisit the story of Karon Shea Model Management. Mark ran their 2008 International Modeling and Talent Association program (see Pulse article) and has mixed feelings about the experience. If you have feedback on this issue, you might want to send it to renegade blogger Marc Reese.
We talk about the Republicans' bizarre attacks on community organizing with community organizer Kevin Ksen. We mention that Drew Wilson was arrested at the RNC.
Cha-Cha says the Transgender Emergency Fund, first mentioned on 508, is up and running.
We talk about the new Worcester Magazine, Rosalie Tirella's attacks on Allen Fletcher in the InCity Times, ICT readers defending the late Richard Preston, and boring commenters.
Discussion of the impending T&G layoffs turns into a general discussion of print journalism in Worcester and the various publications serving the city's subcultures. (WoMag in 2001: "Buyouts and belt-tightening herald an uncertain future for our local--and no longer independent--daily".)
Next week's show is #52. We'll be setting an agenda for the city in the coming year. If you have suggestions or ideas, e-mail pieandcoffee@gmail.com or leave a message at 508-471-3897.
