what it is like where i live and work

well that is great !..good for you !..i keep learning what it is like to work in other towns from reading bhuz...even learn from attacks. it is not that these lists do not appear everywhere...it is the fact that they only work IF ALL ARE ALLOWED TO BE ON THE LIST!
but as i have said, it is small here, and ANY event...can be hurt.our town was turned upside down for a weekend by the promise keepers...they did some really odd and offensive things in our resturants and or art district.
i just do not understand ..with all that is here to read and learn...why cant some do so !...my town is not yours...no one here gives a flip if there is a steampunk belly night on the same date as middle eastern dance....cant we learn from each other and get along?..lists are only good if you are ALLOWED on them by the powers that be in your town!
