- Pinch me. This is
a big one.
-
- So I get what
I think is a totally random note on
Facebook:
-
- Hey there
Adam,
-
- My name is
Rusty Blazenhoff. I would like to speak to you
regarding your mini golf course. Do you have a
couple of minutes?
-
- My number is
*** *** ****
-
- Thanks!
-
- R.
-
- I was racing to
get ready for a Delorean gig and really didn't have
time to call, but it was so vague I just had
to. I was most certainly not prepared for what I was
about to hear from this woman (Yes, Rusty is a
woman)...
-
- ...who works for
Pee-Wee Herman running his social media accounts. !!
Of course! I had written him last year about
recreating this picture on my course:
-
-

-
- ...to no response.
Then I saw that the 9th was national minigolf day...
why? Because Pee-Wee posted that picture on Facebook.
DAH! So I wrote AGAIN figuring the obviousness of
my course and the day would get someone's attention.
And in fact, it did.
-
- So Rusty thinks
GolfKon would be an awesome place for Pee-Wee to hold
an event during his upcoming media push for the new
movie coming out this fall. I literally heard
Charlie Brown's teacher after this point. This is a
perfect fit. I know nothing is set in stone
(hell, is it ever?) but sometimes you hear something
and your brain just goes "well, DUH." I mean,
I knew it was a duh, but hearing someone who
works for him say it just hits you again. It's a
PERFECT venue for something like that and could easily
be a great Hats & Minigolf interview AND hole
dedication for a charity of his choosing. And suddenly
it allllllllllllll comes together. Head
spinning...
-
-
- I made the choice
awhile back to not do the Mad Men hole and as
time goes on it seems clear all the movie themes will
be 80s movies and they'll all be light and funny. Mad
Men (even without the alcohol/Jon Hamm issue with my
whiskey bar idea) just doesn't fit. It's clear what
GolfKon is becoming and it's been wonderful to LET it
happen rather than force things to happen.
-
- So Pee-Wee is
shooting in New York at the moment, should be doing
post in LA this summer and in the fall?!
WHO KNOWS WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS!
Rusty said she was going to do a write-up about
GolfKon on another site she works for called
Neatorama.com,
and true to her word, the next day:
