It’s been less than two weeks since election day, but wow has time flew by. The election which was supposed to go into the wee hours of Wednesday morning was over by 9pm when New Hampshire went blue and then shortly after – Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, Florida and Virginia went blue – minutes before polls closed on the west coast. Bamm, the election was over – we have a new President-Elect.
That weekend we were in the Charlotte, NC area on a little business/pleasure trip – meeting with our tech consultants and attending the 15th Annual Carolina Renaissance Festival. Carolina Arts is one of the festival’s media sponsors. It was hard to spot an ailing economy there and I later learned that 24,000 attended the festival that weekend.
We then had a funeral to attend and before we knew it our deadline was on top of us for the December 08 issue.
Now that the paper is at the printer, I finally have time to catch up on my blogging duties – which are important these days. Since starting Carolina Arts Unleashed we have increased hits to our website by an extra 100,000 – going over 300,000 per month – in fact 325,932 hits in October. That’s good for everyone associated with our website. The search engines love us.
Our blog represents a new adventure in promoting the visual arts in the Carolinas – with a few other thoughts thrown in the mix. It’s a move toward the future – just part of our growth into other media venues to promote the visual arts. It’s part of our – Yes We Can Too – policy.
While our county moves in a new direction – we will too. It’s going to be hard going, but we’re moving forward. It may seem like we’re marching in place at times, and even in reverse sometimes, but our direction is forward.
We hope you’ll come along with us.
