Booklovers’ Cafe – Jon Karpilow, A Liberal’s Search for America
(Airdate: June 4, 2024) Jon Karpilow visited Cris Wilson at the new Fort Worden studio for Booklovers’ Cafe to talk about his new book, A Liberal’s Search for America: Tales from the Gunshop. Jon has landed in PT after a spell in Calaveras County where he worked in a gun shop called The Rusty Knife. The characters that hang out here are indeed memorable and a picture of Americans we rarely spend much time with here in the PT bubble. Alternatively funny and frightening, there are indeed some good tales. Jon is currently writing features for the Leader and volunteering where he is needed.

Two special guests join us who represent our Local Investment Opportunities Network, or LION, here in East Jefferson county. We’ll learn more about how LION helps to build prosperous local businesses by assisting in building a more resilient and sustainable economy. Jane Armstrong and her husband moved to the Peninsula 10 years ago. She brings a wealth of business management experience to the table. Jane explains the structure and breadth of LION, and also how LION and Housing Solutions Network provide some of that same kind of collaborative connection to creatively address opportunities and challenges in our communities. Heidi Haney came to Port Townsend along with over 20 years of business and hospitality experience. Heidi will tell us how her latest enterprise, the Tipsy Gypsy Mobile Bar Service, was born and how it has morphed thanks to the economic seeds planted by LION.
