I hate to jinx things, but having the head of marketing for a solar company provide his personal contact info seems useful (beehaw.org)

Each Wednesday, there is something referred to as "Church Night" at the regional burner warehouse that happens to be in walking distance.

It's really a salon. You break into a conversation when you have something of use to say after overhearing a conversation while other activities occur to a varying extent. Interrupting is almost encouraged if you have useful information or insight.

I wouldn't say I attend Church Night religiously.

But this week, I met someone new, and as it happens he can actually fucking spar at my level because of his writing background, but he also happens to work for a solar installation firm that may be in need of a writer.

I believe in this shit, so count me in. I don't want to start the chalk marks of 2026.

Well now you can claim to have highly efficient networking. Visit once, immediately get recuited.

I've never been to a salon, the idea has always intrigued me. I think the reason I was a Harmontown fan is that I enjoyed it as a sort of TV writers' salon.

Sounds like a great way to find your people, at any rate.
