Re: Arts & Cultural Roundtable

Rebecca says …
This is the story I’ve been looking for! I’m so sick of hearing everyone complain about nothing to do in Sacramento when there is TONS of stuff to do. I manage to keep myself busy nearly every night and weekend with all the art shows, festivals and new bars and restaurants in town. I’ve been trying to get others to see Sacramento’s potential, too, but it’s hard to break through the oh-so-easy “This town has nothing” attitude everyone has built up over the years. Wake up, Sacramento! There’s too much to do if you just get out there and look.

Thank you for reporting about the Arts & Culture Roundtable. It provided an interesting assessment and perspective about the arts in Sacramento. 
    Americans for the Arts Creative Industries Report 2006 shows that Assembly District 9 (Sacramento) has 777 arts-related businesses that employ 3,861 people. This report just scratches the surface, in that the Dun & Bradstreet data are only from those organizations that have registered with Dun & Bradstreet. For example the report reflects only one theater in the downtown/midtown Sacramento area, and there are quite a few more.
    Sacramento is rich with arts and culture; it’s just a well-kept secret. Thank you for bringing the arts to your readers’ attention.

Re: Notoriety’s Curse

Hilarious! This was an offbeat and interesting piece. We’ve all been there, just aren’t as eloquent about it as is the author.

Fun stuff! Clever idea I saw once ... a woman carried cards in one pocket with full contact details, the other pocket filled with “edited” cards...name only.
    “Rarely does anyone check it out on the spot,” she claims. Follow your instincts when choosing which pocket you reach for.

Re: Kelly Brothers’ Words of Wisdom

George Adams says …
Some good ideas. One thing that was very important to me was that, when my parents died, they had talked to me about their funeral plans and had them all written out, what they did and did not want.
    My father had a copy of his military discharge, birth certificate and marriage papers to give to the funeral provider. The decisions were made in less than an hour. Our parents got what they wanted, and we were not pressured about making choices. 
    You probably have heard this before, but it was an act of love by my parents to us.

On Roger Clark’s “e85 and General Motors is California”

Franklin Burris says …
I too have owned a FlexFuel Chevrolet SUV for five years. I applaud the technology and commitment of GM, but the market is not delivering the fuel to utilize the benefits of this engine in our air basin.
    There are probably 10 times the number of flexfuel vehicles as there are electric cars — yet there is an EMPTY electric car charging station space almost in every large parking facility I visit, but no flexfuel stations.
    Californians need reasonable and dependable alternatives. Cars with no fuel and charging stations with no cars will not get us closer to better air.  Neither will hybrids sold at a premium.

On Scott Doniger’s “Rosas are Red”

Jason Ferguson says …
Thanks, Scott! It is nice to hear that good customer service is not taken for granted.
    I am encouraged to hear this as I am currently starting up a new mobile service business. I am adamant about staying focused on customer satisfaction. I agree 100 percent that anyone willing to go above expectations can be successful.
