Listening Post



 My listening post is TBA as far as its specific location, but for now it is offical that it will be a biker's bar. I'll be honest- I was amused at my reaction upon receiving this news. The fear invoked within me only showed that there is something I have yet to overcome in life. I do enjoy enlightenment, even if it means displacing my comfort level for weeks at a time. Actually, I'm looking forward to the day when I will look forward to going. Hopefully, this will be as soon as "trip 2" because I already know "trip 1" has me so uneasy, I had to google "black people at biker bars" to get the following search results. Call it what you want, but doing this did in fact give me a bit of hope that I will not stick out like the sore-thumb I intend to. I knew I was typecasting by even doubting black people don't find themselves in these places, but we were in fact told to enlighten ourselves more on the place that we're going. I'm going to actually read more into biking as a hobby to understand why people gather around these places as a "common folk". I guess there really is some type of freedom in this leisure activity because "meet-ups" nationwide are held for bikers, and all the pictures I saw seemed to be of people having a good time. I'll keep you all posted!
