Denver Public Library

I had to I had to pull I had to pull my shoe.

yeah man I have a very similar story it sounds like okay well so you mentioned Odd Nerd Room and that was like that was actually one of the first books I found at the Denver Public Library where I was like whoa like this is like I was like it was kind of like I mean it was right around the same time I don't know if I discovered Rembrandt first or after Nerd Room because I had a very like parsifal like journey through art history it wasn't like all presented as a cohesive conversation and i selected the book you know it was sort of like whatever landed in my lap was sort of circumstantial yeah like just sort of happened so yeah nerd german and rembrandt kind of all like fell into my lap at the same time but both were it was seeing that work was a revelation because everything else up at that point just looked fake, you know, but it, but it just looked graphic-y, you know, I was kind of into the same stuff, like coming out of skateboard, snowboard, punk rock kind of culture.

So I got a little bit of that stuff, like, you know, pop culture art.

But when I saw those two artists, I was like, that's it.

But even something as seemingly mundane as a little tab for acknowledgments, just, like, the little people that help you along the way, of which there are dozens, of which there were many I forgot to include in the acknowledgments because I didn't adequately catalog them effectively in my central nervous system.

Uh, so, like, shout out to the Denver Public Library and, uh, and my, and a dog sitter of mine, dog trainer of mine who, who helped out greatly during some of my, like, more heated research and writing days.

And so yes, like, uh, so I would do this thing.

It would be, like, the date, the headline, the byline, the page numbers, uh, the per- yeah, the person who wrote it.

My friend and mentor, Heather Dalton, who's a documentarian and a filmmaker and a musician, will be on that panel.

Also, Brian Trembath from the genealogy department at the Denver Public Library.

And Neil Cassidy's own son, Robert Hyatt, will also be on this panel.

So, yeah.

That is where I got all of this information.

They interviewed everybody from Tom Noel to, uh, librarians at the Denver Public Library.

They talked to all sorts of experts on how to pronounce the names in the s- in the city that you may, uh, mispronounce, so I'll put a link to that in the show notes.

But, uh, I thought the Kalamath one was really interesting.

Then I would go into Google and I would do some sleuthing.

I love the Denver Public Library for this, by the way.

Local libraries have a lot of the...

the lore they keep the lore they keep old copies of magazines newspapers who bought what houses who lived where things like that can be found there especially for prominent people in society so people who would have been in the news people you know all that fun stuff so I did a little bit of sleuthing each time and after I would have the spirit come through and share all the clues and details and channel the messages, then I would Google and I would sync things up and I would realize like, okay, yes, this is this person or this is that person or, you know, this guy matches everything.

When I was younger, I didn't know any better.

But, you know, I've been doing this work long enough now that I know when something is coming through clairaudiently, it's because there's a spirit there who's like, no, I'm trying to tell you, boo.

I'm So I finally, through a confluence of events, looking up and Googling stuff about these other people that were coming through playing spiritual games of Guess Who, found an article published on the Denver Public Library website.

And I will link it in the show notes.
