Yes, I am leaving the fulltime employment of TCCa to start my own consulting company (for those of you who haven’t heard the news, read this first).
But I’m not going anywhere.
Since “What? … Oh no! … Why? … Congratulations!” seems to be the first four things I here from everyone in the last few days (not always in that order :-), I thought I would help you get them out of the way so I can talk a little about where TCCi has been, where it is now and where it is going.
Settled down yet? Ok. First, as I have oft stated, my job has always been to work my way out of my job. Simply put, the idea, then and now, for “The Creative Coast” is big. REAL big. At a fundamental level, it is bigger than all of us, our region, our town, our community and absolutely bigger than a single organization and especially bigger than any one person. If it wasn’t, I wouldn’t have been involved, and if it isn’t, then we should think about finding a new idea.
Ok, I can hold out no longer. Between Fitz Haile’s persistent pushing me from behind to jump into the deep end of our blog, and the blood vessel about to burst to fill you in on some things happening around town, here is a first stab at this blog-beast.
It was my intention to start with an intentionally provocative title like, “Clueless in Savannah?” as away to discuss why so many people are so unaware of the incredible array of things that go on around them in the city on a weekly basis.
Yup. How many times have you heard the whiny refrain, “there’s nothing to do in Savannah, whaaa…..”
NONSENSE! Open your eyes! Wake up! Look around! Smell the sights, sounds and incredible array of arts and culture here. Yes, we hear it all the time even through our own weekly events calender now lists hundreds upon hundreds (781 to be exact) of events that occur over 7 days, 52 weeks a year. (just for the record, Savannah has 4.2 times more art galleries per capita than New York City, don’t believe me, query yellowpages.com and do the math)
