You know what we don't have and we should have? You know, we've got lots of festivals. You know, we've got we just celebrated a harvest festival and corning. In Montur, they have one next weekend on the third. Scott and I will be there.

SPEAKER_01 0:16

So let me write down on the calendar where you want to put yet another festival of whatever you're about to say. This is gonna be sounds like a great idea, guys.

SPEAKER_00 0:24

This is gonna be so good. Why don't we have a Mark Twain festival where people dress up like Mark Twain? Can you imagine a little parade of Mark Twain's? How cool would that be? I love my own freaking idea. I know.

SPEAKER_01 0:37

I love my freaking idea so much. But what what's the hook? Are we just all gonna read uh, you know, uh This is a great idea.

SPEAKER_00 0:45

I mean, is it I love I love what you're saying already. So we could do it.

SPEAKER_01 0:49

I don't love what I'm saying, but alright. I do like let's all get together and read Huck Finn.

SPEAKER_00 0:54

Well, I think that, or you could dress like Mark Twain characters. Not a bad audio. Um what would did did Mark Twain have like a favorite food or something? Anyway, it doesn't matter. I think what it is is just celebrating Mark Twain. Since everyone has such a love affair with Mark Twain here.

SPEAKER_01 1:11

We do do a glass fest. We celebrate glass. That's exactly inanimate object, but it happened to make a city.

SPEAKER_00 1:18

Elmira downtown, are you listening? There is something to do. Marshall Ferrari, are you listening?

SPEAKER_01 1:22

Actually, it can almost be a giant mustache party, whether you could have I mean, I'm still looking for the fun factor in this, other than walking around with a mustache.

SPEAKER_00 1:32

Seneca Lodge does a mustache party for their opening party. Now that's in April. That's something totally different.

SPEAKER_01 1:37

Yeah, that's very different.

SPEAKER_00 1:38

But I do like what you're saying because we all could be, and it it has to be a warmer month, and the reason why is think about what Mark I'm not not warmer, I'm sorry, cooler month. Think about what Mark Twain wears.

SPEAKER_01 1:48

With a white suit.

SPEAKER_00 1:49

Right. You don't want to wear a suit in July. You don't want to have a mustache and be so sweaty. You gotta have you gotta have this in like, you know, an October. Oh, another thing in October.

SPEAKER_01 2:02

Oh, yeah. Let me put that on the calendar. Mark Twain Festival in between every other effing thing going on.

SPEAKER_00 2:08

What about what about maybe March? Yeah, March might be. March for March.

SPEAKER_01 2:13

Hold on.

SPEAKER_00 2:14

Okay, look it up.

SPEAKER_01 2:15

You know, I don't know this.

SPEAKER_00 2:16

Hold on a second. I I don't know it either. But dun dun dun Oh, we could even do that. Trolley, they have a Mark Twain trolley, don't you?

SPEAKER_01 2:24

November 30th.

SPEAKER_00 2:26

That's a good day. That is a really good day. Hold on a second.

SPEAKER_01 2:31

Um we're all fat and sassy after having uh Thanksgiving.

SPEAKER_00 2:35

Okay, I got something else. Apparently he preferred writing while in bed. We could do the the uh the bed races that we've talked about for 20 years.

SPEAKER_01 2:43

Okay, now you're starting to add a hook that's got me interested. Because no offense, it a parade of people dressed as Mark Twain, so we can sit down and quietly read books. No, but that's dull.

SPEAKER_00 2:54

We don't have to quietly read, but he also has a cat lover. So we could have like cat stuff, we could have the bed races, we could have the Mark Twain look-alike contest. I just think that we are not monopolizing on what we have here, which is Mark Twain. Oh, wait, and um, let's see. His famous pen name comes from a nautical term used by a Mississipp Mississippi Riverboat. So we could be like a riverboat over on the Shmong River? Yes.

SPEAKER_01 3:25

Yes, I don't think it'll float.

SPEAKER_00 3:27

Did you know he was a steamboat pilot?

SPEAKER_01 3:29

I did not. Did you know what his real name was?

SPEAKER_00 3:31

Sam Clemens.

SPEAKER_01 3:32

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 3:32

Yes. I did that I did know. Because I went to something at this was a while back. I was at the Clemens Center, and they had like a Mark Twain specialist. That's not that's not his title. Homie isn't even from here, but that's here nor there.

SPEAKER_01 3:50

Yeah, but this was more of a this was a beloved area for him. Well, he's here now forever.

SPEAKER_00 3:54

Of course, because this is the best area.

SPEAKER_01 3:56

Did you hear what I said?

SPEAKER_00 3:57

He's now here forever.

SPEAKER_01 3:58

Because he's in the ground up the road.

SPEAKER_00 4:00

Yeah, I've been there. Just went there about a year or two ago for the first time. Anyway, that's my idea. Take it or leave it.

SPEAKER_01 4:06

I like the mustaches, I like the bed races.

SPEAKER_00 4:08

The cat stuff. Come on.

SPEAKER_01 4:10

Dress up, sure. We could do it on camera. There's enough kook balls in this area that'll we could easily get cat people out.

SPEAKER_00 4:16

Oh, totally. Just weird mustache people.

SPEAKER_01 4:19

No, that's true.
