Spring break went by super fast, I know that I did not get nearly as much done for the project as I would have liked. I am looking at this week back in class as a jump start into getting all the little details for oral history sorted out and hope to feel more confident after Tuesdays class. I did go to the club though and make some connections! I met the owners and heard about how and why they obtained the club. They are super nice, we even hugged before I left. I felt comfortable in the bar and could tell that they are looking forward to the event. Any reservations I may have had about this project have vanished! I feel like I understand why locals would make Club4100 part of their weekly routine. In fact, I met a couple who do just that. Paul and Anne Federline visit the bar every day! They knew all about the club, its previous owners and seemed close to the new owners already. Anne had a stack of Keno cards in front of her and Paul said that coming to this specific bar and playing Keno makes his wife happy so that is why they come. I asked Paul if I could interview him this coming Thursday and he said yes! I even told him that it would be recorded and he was fine with that. Something to look forward to and prepare for.
I also got my CITI certification which is one less thing to worry about.
In class we had brought up trying to connect with Duke, another club regular. He was not as the bar when I was there and did not return my calls. Hopefully, If I run into him, he will still want to do an interview. I did hear about another guy, Gill, that helped build the bar and everyone there seemed to think he would be interested in an interview. One of the owners is going to try and get his info for me by Thursday.
I came up with the questionnaire to pass out, but I wanted to make certain it was in an acceptable format. This is the one area I was hoping I would have done a little more with because I don't want to fall behind in getting the oral history we need.
I hope that other people will want to seek out interviewees with me, I am going there on Thursday and would love some company.
