San francisco is consistently ranked as one of the most literate cities in the united states. Multiple Reading Events are happening every night of the year, competing against a big names like city arts and lectures. Radar was voted the winner of these San Francisco contest. After two decades of working for free, michelle is able to make radar her fulltime job. I am a right to myself, but i feel like my work in this world is eagerly to bring writers together and to produce literary events. If i was only doing my own work, i would not be happy. It is, like throwing a party or a dinner party. I can match that person with that person. It is really fun for me. It is nerve wracking during the actual readings. I hope everyone is good. I hope the audience likes them. I hope everybody shows up. But everything works out. At the end of the reading, everyone is happy.

Order to sign longterm contracts. Since we dont have a creditworthy independent organization. We have a little bit set aside in case we sign of care customers. I think we have estimated what it would take to sign up 5,000 care customers. That is going down because our rate is going down, but its still there. Our budget, our administrative budget is higher. I actually think well be able to bring it down more, but i havent consulted with the general manager about how much more we can strip out of that and still be safe. There is one more component. Rim doesnt have a hundred percent green rate. I cant tell you offhand exactly what that component of the rate is, but its probably around a penny for that. So its a lot of Little Things to add up.
