I JUST WROTE WHAT THEY TOLD ME TO WRITE!!!! ---Eric Owen. Went to Summerfest last nite-- will go back today!! Barry took a selfie, but because we were BOTH in the pic, does that make it a WELFIE? Not unless its a state-funded phone and were getting food stamps! (rim shot) Hung out in high style w/ STNC members David Barron and Charlie Bradley AND met Foothill Recor editor and fellow ...Observed. stand-out blogger, Gyorgi Hackopian and his pal Henry-- very impressive guys!! Then 28 year-old perennial high school student Eric Owen piped up to hand out copies of the new Foothills Record. Ive got mine already, I said with a wave of the hand. This seemed to throw him for a loop. H-How many do you have? Dont you need m-more?? Uh, no thank you and by the way your front page account of the Watermelon Fesitval was totally inaccurate. Y-You didnt like it?? No, I did not. It was a bunch of bullshit. I dont believe it was anywhere NEAR a smashing success, and I dont believe they had over 20,000 people in attendance. I continued. How do you KNOW there were over 20,000 people there? Did you do a head count? Owen was getting very agitated at this point.N-NO!! he cried. I JUST WROTE WHAT THEY TOLD ME TO WRITE!!!! The Lions Club, obviously. He looked down at the ground for a moment and then resumed passing out papers. I had deflated his Fun Balloon. Oh well. So much for a new newspaper purported to do real investigative reporting and ask the HARD questions! With all the impressive brain power and ambitious intent fueling the ...Records editorial staff, what the HELL are they doing printing propaganda from the Lyins Club (sic) via journalistically-challenged Voice of the Village personnel?? Maybe they figured having a mentally-challenged Lions club shill on board would clear the way for non-profit status. (GAWD, not tacky THAT old strategy again!) Why didnt Desiree, Gyorgi or Sonia write this key first-page-above-the-fold report about the Watermelon Festival? (Especially since none of us attended the damn thing!!!) Why print the very type of distorted puff piece Desiree Dreeuws swore shed avoid?? Answers, please!!!
