Travel tips: screw Avis car rentals. WAY overpriced! I’m not a big pusher of corporations but then when treated well…why not. I’ve been using Enterprise rental cars for most of my travel needs while working on the SisterLove project and they are awesome. The customer service is great (very friendly, quick, and always give me more than I request – i.e. upgrading cars) and their prices are the best I’ve seen. So, in my book the two deserve some kudos as most companies don’t give a shit for the customer these days. And Enterprise is a major sponsor of the PBR (a little known interest of mine heheh). Okay, that’s my push for the evening.

Today was my first day in Atlanta doing my pickups for my project and to my surprise I was able to complete almost ALL of my interviews in one LONG day. I’m quite worried as it all worked so easily . I had allotted about 5 days to do all this. I did about 9 interviews (small interviews with each staff member and a central interview with one of SL’s first clients and one of their main client-turned-advocate. Her interview is to show the empowerment aspect of SL’s work and I’m very pleased with the interview). I’m using the rest of my time here to get some time with board members of SisterLove and one big event that they are sponsoring toward the end of the week.

I’ll also be visiting local music stores to find some strong local (ATL) music to use in the Atlanta module of the project (the South African piece has got some very nice tunes and I’d like to have an equal representation from here).
