[mweinstone]

The man told me in a bit of a whisper of importance," my fathers on the board of the museum"
He named a museum im sure folks with tv heard of.lol.
cause he lifted his eyebrows and let out a bit of a smile when he said the name of it.
as a kid restoreing portico row on 9 th and spruce with the masters, i had big dreams.
funney, this brownstone is on portico row .
Its been 40 years working to this one goal.
To be a philanthropist like my grand and mum were.
First , as i was taught, you restore one small area mear the entrance so every time you haul rubble past it or drag new lumber in by it, u are inspired.
For this project, i would simply restore the

Just the ladies only entrance to its full 1905 glory.

Injust a few hours, like wonka's golden ticket holders, my four special guests willenter into an art factory so unique, so singular in its seperatness and stuffed with candy colored works of art so wonderfull.
Like charlie bucket and grandpa joe, one special guest will be givin treasures unimaginable.
But only in exchange for enough to build me and pat his gardens.
And in the morning when i wake, i may be king of all that is art.
Or not.lol

This mornings save the doyel proposal:
Allow artists to create wall murals.
Realistic, historicaly acurate depictions of the history of the town and trail and community.
I will be art director and only alow responsible artists whos art increases the lure to patrons of many intrests.
Artists would pay there stay while working and only be allowed to bring non flammable materials.
With all surfaces covered in a detailed history painted realisticly, tours could be offered for donation.
eventualy money could be used to buy dilithium crystals to restart the doyels engins.

If they're doing upgrades (via murals), they should be able to stay for free. And get college credit, too.

Staying for free wont fly in season when every room is full and every dollar needed. Its a short season.
The oppurtunity to paint in such a place is very appealing to the artists i seek and they would have their own finances.
im thinking of asking the rotary clubs members and or the lions club.
bets and retired artists.
Id like murals of everything spanning the ages concerning duncannon.
from a smithsonian style prehistoric panoramma to a futuruistic glimpse and every smelly hiker in between.

[mweinstone]

Todays save the doyel idea is big.
its about the town.
I can save the town.
Make it thrive.
ill need authority to take whatever measures i deem nesesary.
Here it is.
Every single person in duncannon must lie about aliens.
Say they come et night on full moons.
Make up evidence.
Create a fraud so smart and realistic, with sheer numbers of witnesses.
Everyone must agree.
The mufon fruits would clog the town with dollars forever.

[rocketsocks]

I seen Elvis there once...Duncanon, Hendrix too!

[mweinstone]

We declare duncannon a freestate commune.
squatting permmitted.
Freeloaders welcome.
Eventualy, they would attract tourists who just want a glimps of atentown.

They can apply for a preservation grant through this agency:

OK, you're the only artist in the world who should get paid.

Giving away art is my way of gaining entrance into artworld.
I hunt the big fish. My plan is to give art to folks in hopes that one day they may be entertaining guests and one may be a chair curator and might see my art and ....bam!

[mweinstone]

If murals of the towns history were installed by any means....
One could be a hild sledding down the stairs painted in three d so its on the steps.
Another could be a hall of hiker portrats.
And a maproom with cool maps and charts depicted.
Another room could be an astronomy mural.
And a room of edible plants and flora and fauna.
A room could be done to look like the veiw from hawk rock and one just about hiker foods.
my personal contribution would be an installation in the central stairwell over the red and white checkered floor.
Hanging by a steel cable from the kupala, a 100 lb bag of sugar with the words printed on it," DOYEL HOTEL, SWEET SPOT OF THE AT."

Swissbob! Fastest ride on the board walk!

I love the doyel.
Is that wrong?
Its my girl.
she loves me long time.
actually, since 1975 if you can believe that.
i was 14.
Im 55.
I was born in 1961.
On march fourth.
I plan to continue marching fourth.
the peace and love i have gotten in that place surpasses all but one.
in my dreams, i live in duncannon.
In them im an artist of note .
Bank notes!

[mweinstone]

I alone will save the doyel.
Ill ask my god for the means.
Ill put her back to mint.
Ill do it.
Their will be severe and radical changes in my restoration.
For instance, every time the perfectly restored hotel door is entered, a door chime will play an exact rendition of the sound of a passageway opening in the original startrek. And the closeing," whoossht" when it closes.
also, a single m&m will be placed on every pillow each day before opening.
And there will be onions .
Each hiker will be issued an onion apon checkout.
