A jaunt is a jaunt, right? Still, it seems likely that enough people have now seen Season in Hell: White Candle on P.F.S. Post to justify answering the simple query: what exactly were we doing, other than tantric exercises, in room 510 of the Atherton Hilton in lovely SC? The answer is simple. As of the 90s and back, every July aughts, State College would hold a town-wide Arts Fest, as it was called. Artisans, craftspeople, painters, potters, jewelers, would be encouraged to set up tents the length of various arcades on campus, and in the town, and offer their wares to a huge throng of locals, and interested parties from Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and NYC. We were there, at the Atherton Hilton, to attend the Arts Fest, which also included musical acts playing all over the place too.
Preceding this, Jen had come to stay with me and my family for several days in Gulph Mills (Philly 'burbs), and I had stayed for several days with the Strawsers in Liverpool, Pa. We had visited Center City, and South Street, just as I toured part of Central Pa. with Jen when stationed in Liverpool. Was I high as a kite the entire time these things were happening? I plead guilty, with an explanation. Ask my attorney.
Season in Hell: White Candle is also available as an individual mp3 file on PennSound.
