Hey everybody,
0:04
welcome
0:07
to Craft
0:10
and Bone,
0:13
part two
0:16
of our
0:18
three-part season
0:21
climax. This
0:24
is Megan
0:27
Holloway with
0:29
MFC News
0:32
reporting live from
0:34
Mayfair and I have
0:37
to say it's a very
0:39
changed Mayfair to the one we
0:41
saw last time we visited. Gone
0:44
are the protesters and gone is
0:46
the rain. It's all smiles and
0:48
sunshine for what we've been told
0:50
is only the first edition of
0:52
the newly revived Honey and Comb
0:55
Festival, a local tradition that hasn't
0:57
seen real traction in the area
0:59
since the 1980s. While some have
1:01
called out, Pan Continental's involvement in
1:04
the planning of the festival has
1:06
nothing more than a bit for
1:08
a better press. It doesn't seem like
1:10
those objections have prevented the entire town
1:13
from turning out for the event. Oh
1:17
my god, these are
1:19
so freaking cute! Look
1:21
at them! Sorry, what
1:23
did you say your
1:26
store was called? Journal
1:28
Mamas! Oh, that's so
1:30
fun! And you have
1:33
a website, right? Mm-hmm.
1:35
Journal mamas.com. Oh, of
1:37
course. I probably could
1:39
have guessed that, huh?
1:42
And it's you and
1:44
your sister? Not quite.
1:47
Wait, are you
1:49
too like... Oh
1:51
my god, I
1:53
love that! I'm
1:55
obsessed! What? Are
1:57
they like... what?
1:59
Lynn, don't make it
2:01
weird. Just keep taking your
2:04
artsy-fartsy pictures of the Ferris
2:06
wheel. Uh, no. Don't change
2:08
the subject. What are you
2:11
even talking about? It kind
2:13
of seems like you're the
2:15
one being weird. It's just...
2:17
they're married. It's cute. Sorry.
2:20
No. It happens all the
2:22
time. Okay. Is that it?
2:24
Why are you making such
2:27
a big deal of it?
2:29
What year do you think
2:31
it is? Oh! Oh! Oh!
2:34
What happened? Did someone push
2:36
you? Who do I need
2:38
a smack? No, no, it's...
2:40
There's this huge crack in
2:43
the road. You see that?
2:45
Oh! Geez, you think they'd
2:47
have tried to fix something
2:50
like that before putting on
2:52
a festival. Glad it were
2:54
my heels! What's
2:59
your name, sir? Uh, Martin.
3:02
Martin, am I right in
3:04
thinking you and your wife
3:06
were involved in the protests
3:08
against this event? Yeah, well,
3:10
Mary thought it was important,
3:12
and that's what marriage is
3:14
all about, am I right?
3:17
What can you tell me
3:19
about how this happened? How
3:21
did this story end with
3:23
you here? Attending the festival
3:25
you and your wife worked
3:27
so hard to prevent. You
3:30
gotta know when you're beat,
3:32
right? There's no point in
3:34
fighting when you've already lost.
3:36
Weeks and weeks of fundraising,
3:38
and we barely raised enough
3:40
money to cover the venue.
3:43
And then, when Diane and
3:45
Mary started talking to folks
3:47
about setting up booths or
3:49
running workshops, we ran into
3:51
a whole host of new
3:53
problems. Nobody saw coming. What
3:56
kind of problems? Parking, insurance,
3:58
fire safety. The questions never
4:00
stopped coming. They needed to
4:02
know whether or not we
4:04
plan to hire security, whether
4:06
or not the vendors would
4:08
have access to their own
4:11
toilets or be sharing with
4:13
the guests, whether or not
4:15
lunch was going to be
4:17
covered for the volunteers or
4:19
they were feeding themselves out
4:21
of pocket. Questions you'd never
4:24
dream of asking. How big
4:26
were the tables? How much
4:28
of a table was somebody
4:30
entitled to take up space
4:32
on? Did it matter if
4:34
somebody needed more space than
4:37
somebody else? How long should
4:39
a workshop go on? And
4:41
how much time between workshops
4:43
should we take for the
4:45
cleaning? It sounds like it
4:47
was more work than anyone
4:50
saw coming. You could say
4:52
that. Did you find it
4:54
changed? The way you looked
4:56
at today's festival? Well, they
4:58
had the money for it.
5:00
We didn't. So your opinion
5:02
hasn't changed? Well, like I
5:05
said, it was mostly Mary
5:07
who felt strongly about it.
5:09
Is she here with you?
5:11
Yeah, she's around here somewhere.
5:13
She's still a bit sore
5:15
about it. But hey, if
5:18
you lose the battle, staying
5:20
home during while the parades
5:22
on only makes you and
5:24
you alone miserable. Behold my
5:26
little troublemakers. The enduring sweetness.
5:28
of the immortal honey, the
5:31
divine fractal structure of the
5:33
geometric calm. Handmade necknacks and
5:35
miscellaneous for sale on the
5:37
sidewalks. I did expect more
5:39
B paraphernalia based on the
5:41
flyer. Oh, how disappointing. You
5:44
do know it's not that
5:46
kind of calm, don't you?
5:48
Hmm? Are you speaking to
5:50
me? Don't see how I
5:52
could have mixed you up
5:54
with anybody else around here
5:56
girl. Not that get up.
5:59
A vendor calls out to
6:01
us with wares to sell
6:03
hatchlings. Ooh! Is this scrimshaw?
6:05
Look at this my devils!
6:07
Isn't it wondrous? It's for
6:09
sales what it is. You
6:12
should, uh... You should buy
6:14
two. And why is that?
6:16
Now, please understand. I'm not
6:18
opposed to the idea, but
6:20
I need to hear the
6:22
pitch. The pitch is. You
6:25
should bought two. Oh, I
6:27
see. Oh,
6:32
Trader! This Trader to the Realm
6:34
dares from another legion's chat in
6:37
their missive to your queen! Mods,
6:39
to the dungeons! You gonna buy
6:41
something more, aren't you? Over the
6:44
course of the afternoon, you may
6:46
have noticed some interesting and unusual
6:48
music playing in the background of
6:51
our interviews. And we're pleased to
6:53
have the opportunity to speak with
6:56
the creator of that music. Local
6:58
musician, glass ceilings. How are you
7:00
feeling? You can just call me
7:03
Elijah. Pretty incredible. Enough that I'm
7:05
starting to think maybe I need
7:07
to change my handle. Well, if
7:10
you do, I hope you let
7:12
us know so all of your
7:15
new fans out there can find
7:17
you. It's, uh... I'm just... joking.
7:19
I don't think I'll really change
7:22
it. They say brain consistency is
7:24
important when you're trying to grow
7:26
as an artist and God knows
7:29
I've been trying to grow my
7:31
following for a long time. Was
7:34
this your first time performing live
7:36
for an audience? No, I've played
7:38
a couple of local venues before
7:41
but never anything this big. How
7:43
does it compare? It's incredible. There
7:45
was this moment in one of
7:48
my last songs, where a bunch
7:50
of people were mashing in front
7:53
of the stage, and it got
7:55
so intense. I almost didn't realize
7:57
we were having another quake. It
8:00
was amazing. Totally different. than anything
8:02
I've done before. And how did
8:04
this opportunity come to you? Did
8:07
you apply to be a part
8:09
of the festival? No, actually. They
8:12
reached out to me. Asked me
8:14
if I wanted to bring some
8:16
Mayfair's sound to Mayfair's oldest festival.
8:19
Mayfair's sound? Yeah, a lot of
8:21
the highlights in my music are
8:23
about the samples. You probably know
8:26
this already, but Mayfair's always had
8:28
kind of a different relationship with
8:31
its diverse ecosystem. That ecosystem is
8:33
full of all kinds of unique
8:35
calls and drones and drones. And
8:38
I believe the world is full
8:40
of natural instruments. Music is just
8:42
waiting to happen. That includes those
8:45
sounds from those creatures. That's beautiful,
8:47
Elijah. Really beautiful. And I think
8:50
there's an important lesson in that.
8:52
Inspiration can be found anywhere. Where
8:54
can our audience find you when
8:57
you're not performing? Oh, you can
8:59
find me at glass ceilings.com. That's
9:01
glasscilings.com. Remember, I before E except
9:04
after C and this is after
9:06
C. Thank you so much, Elijah.
9:09
It's been a pleasure speaking with
9:11
you. I'm being told we're going
9:13
to have a brief interruption here
9:16
as the folks back in the
9:18
MFC New Studio bring you an
9:20
update on the Decker Street robbery
9:23
that took place this morning. But
9:25
don't worry. Hey
9:28
everyone, it's Trevor here
9:30
with a quick ad
9:32
break and now a
9:35
quick message from our
9:37
sponsors. Thanks for listening
9:39
and now back to
9:41
the show. Look at
9:43
all the people! Oh
9:46
my god! Yeah, it's
9:48
crazy! I didn't expect
9:50
it to get this
9:52
packed! Right? How are
9:55
you doing? How's your
9:57
ankle? Are you sure?
9:59
Yeah. It's not
10:01
every day you get to
10:03
come walk around at a
10:06
festival that's been dead for
10:08
like what? 20 years or
10:10
something? What's a little pain?
10:12
Okay, now let's sit down
10:15
for a second. Come on.
10:17
Do you want some ibuprofen?
10:19
I always keep some in
10:21
my purse. Yeah, actually. Please.
10:24
One sec. I've got bottled
10:26
water too. Always prepared. I've
10:28
got a sewing kit too
10:30
if you get a tear.
10:33
One or two? There are
10:35
extra strength. Two. Okay. Thanks
10:37
Cynthia. It's literally nothing. Are
10:39
you sure you're okay? We
10:42
can always come back next
10:44
year. What makes you so
10:46
sure there's gonna be one
10:49
next year? Well, they said
10:51
it was the first annual
10:53
honey and comb festival, right?
10:55
So... Yeah, but they always
10:58
say shit like that. They
11:00
weren't going to come out
11:02
and say, just this once,
11:04
we're doing the old festival
11:07
again. Well, if they don't
11:09
do it next year, I'll
11:11
just blast him on social
11:13
media for lying, I guess.
11:16
It's seriously okay, Lynn. And
11:18
I'm telling you, I'm seriously
11:20
fine, Cynthia. I just need
11:22
to sit for a second,
11:25
I think. Did
11:27
you mean to be taking
11:29
a video? Huh? Look at
11:31
your phone. What? Oh my
11:33
god! My dumb ass! This
11:35
is why my battery is
11:37
shit. Thanks Jessica. Welcome back
11:39
to MFC News. I'm Megan
11:42
Holloway. And if you're joining
11:44
us for the first time...
11:46
We're here in Mayfair to
11:48
report on the exciting revival
11:50
of the local honey and
11:52
comb festival. And speaking of...
11:54
I am incredibly pleased to
11:56
be able to introduce you
11:58
all to the man I'm
12:00
told made this event possible.
12:02
Why don't you tell our
12:04
viewers who you are and
12:06
a little bit about what
12:08
you're doing here? Hi, I'm
12:10
Jeremy Locklin and I'm Pan
12:12
Continental Energy's public relations specialist
12:14
for Mayfair. That means I'm
12:16
here to make sure folks
12:18
understand we're not just here
12:20
to take and give nothing
12:22
back. It has to be
12:25
about symbiosis. And that's why
12:27
you set your sights on
12:29
revitalizing the festival? Yes, it's
12:31
an important part of the
12:33
community's history and one that
12:35
was ripped away from it
12:37
by the collapse of important
12:39
local industry. If we're bringing
12:41
industry back to Mayfair, we
12:43
should also be doing what
12:45
we can to bring back
12:47
that vibrant culture too. It's
12:49
only right. That's really beautiful.
12:51
You've done an amazing job,
12:53
Jeremy. Well, thank you, but
12:55
I can't take all the
12:57
credit. Without the cooperation of
12:59
local merchants and musicians and
13:01
artists, I'd just be standing
13:03
out here all alone. And
13:05
what a shame that would
13:08
have been! I have to
13:10
say, this is an incredible
13:12
turnout. Were you expecting the
13:14
event to be this successful?
13:16
Expecting? No, hoping! What would
13:18
you say was the most
13:20
challenging part of preparing for
13:22
today's celebration? I'd have to
13:24
say, securing the permits necessary
13:26
to shut down traffic on
13:28
this street. It's not easy
13:30
to convince people they should
13:32
let you make everyone take
13:34
the long way for a
13:36
whole afternoon. Oh, I can
13:38
imagine. And what about the
13:40
high point? What would you
13:42
say, your proudest of? Without
13:44
a doubt, it's the Ferris
13:46
wheel. Did you know that
13:48
this is the first time
13:51
Mayfares had one? That was
13:53
always the blue sky dream.
13:55
And I couldn't be happier.
13:57
We made it happen. Oh
13:59
my god! Do
14:01
you see the wood?
14:03
Mm-hmm. God, that's so
14:06
pretty. What are you
14:08
doing? You should get
14:10
some pictures. Glad we
14:13
came? Yeah. And you
14:15
wanted to go home?
14:17
Because you got hurt.
14:20
I just twisted my
14:22
ankle. And it wasn't
14:24
a big deal. Thanks
14:27
for staying with me.
14:29
What are friends for?
14:31
Besides, if I left
14:34
you, you. But next
14:36
year I'm wearing boots.
14:39
And a long-sleeved shirt.
14:41
Ugh, you're kidding me!
14:43
I didn't think it
14:46
would be a problem!
14:48
This is why I
14:50
told you to wear
14:53
sunscreen! It's fall! Your
14:55
pasty ass still burns
14:57
in the fall, Cynthia.
15:00
This has happened every
15:02
year I've known you!
15:04
I think I have
15:07
some motion in my
15:09
car. What was that?
15:12
I don't know. Wait,
15:14
look. You see the
15:16
lengths I go to?
15:19
My little villains? How
15:21
much mommy will do
15:23
for her fell and
15:26
wicked children? Your exalted
15:28
queen? Your goddess? Is
15:30
perspiringiring! Are you not
15:33
grateful for her sacrifice?
15:35
No, of course not.
15:37
I failed, failed to
15:40
inspire in you the
15:42
appropriate measure of awe
15:45
and reverence. Woe, to
15:47
your pathetic streamer! She
15:49
is unremembered, unrespected in
15:52
her time! We are
15:54
at your service. Linnea
15:56
cry, fate. Linnea kisses.
15:59
Ah! This is what
16:01
your mind's turn to
16:03
in my hour of
16:06
need. Figh! Figh upon
16:08
you all! There's no
16:10
time! Turn that thing
16:13
off! What an incredible
16:15
day it's been here
16:18
at the Honey and
16:20
Comb Festival! From the
16:22
first protests at the
16:25
drill site to today's
16:27
celebrations in the street,
16:29
it's been a long
16:32
road to harmony between
16:34
Pan Continental Energy and
16:36
the people of Mayfair
16:39
over these past few
16:41
months. And I can't
16:43
say we're not happy
16:46
to see it. A
16:48
new chapter is unfolding
16:51
for this little town.
16:53
A brighter future, full
16:55
of opportunity and growth.
16:58
Bill? Look! Oh my God!
17:00
The ground is collapsing! The
17:03
ground is collapsing! The Ferris
17:05
wheel appears to be singing
17:07
into the street! created by
17:10
Trevor Henderson in Pacific Essobadiah.
