I wonder if someone will record the conversation with the #BoysRunTheRiot author that will happen at #CXCFestival this week. I really have been looking forward to it 
At #CXCFestival I had a pretty bad (by my standards) breakdown the first night, fortunately only witnessed by 2 people, 1 of whom was @rubenbolling , but as the weekend went on, I grew more ... at peace w/how Tom is living on, through the festival, his friends' memories his notion of community and friendship. That meant that, a few days later at my pharma-conference in MD, when I coincidentally drove past the hole-in-the-wall where Tom & I had our last dinner, I felt more blissful than sad.

Even though I'd mourned Tom publicly — most notably at the Dec. 2019 memorial in Columbus, I awoke the morning before this year's #CXCFestival w/the realization that I'd never truly mourned him in my heart.

So on a spur of the moment (by my standards) I booked a flight & hotel to Columbus to attend CXC, in hopes of somehow Getting There, or at least making a start.
