So glad it’s inspired you. And thanks for reading. I can’t say that last line was thought up by me, so feel free to use away. 🙂

I found your last line so poignant at this time in my life. I copied it and printed it.
And I’m looking at it on my wall right now.
I feel so inspired by it hope you don’t mind me using it some how. Don’t know how
yet, but for now on my wall is it’s home.
Have enjoyed Dare Dreamer for quite a while. Thanks for your inspiration.
Blessings,
Sandy

This sounds very similar to my first visit to the U.K. as well. Except we didn’t close any pubs down nor did we have drinks until 4am. Haha.

Ahhh. Very interesting. That’s a great story Alan. Thanks for sharing.

When we drove to the North and I walked into a pub, I was immediately welcomed. People wanted to ask me all kinds of questions about America and what I did there. We ended up closing down that pub, as well as another pub, and we were working on closing down a third at almost 4 in the morning, when I said my goodbyes.

I’ll always remember their parting words. “You’re lucky it’s Wednesday, or we’d REALLY be drinking!”

Haha sorry to blow our cover as your source.
If we do make it to Atlanta someday we’ll definitely get in contact (in or out of a pub).
Great meeting you and keep making great work!

Ha! Glad you liked it Brian. I had planned to keep my “sources” secret. 🙂 It was wonderful chatting with you and Lindsay. I hope we get the chance to meet again. If you ever pop your head into an Atlanta pub, I won’t be there (I don’t drink), but feel free to call me up and I’ll come on down and make you feel at home. 😉

It was great meeting you and Tasra at WPPI, we had fun sitting and chatting with both of you at lunch. It was funny to see this blog post come through our twitter feed, wondering before we had read it whether or not it was about our conversation.
We really liked your take on the topic and your investigation into both sides of the story. It is definitely a good reminder for storytellers to be aware of as many details of their topic as possible, and to know who your audience is when telling your story.

Great post and great meeting you!
Brian&Lindsay
