Say it ain't so, Scott! They's a-reportin' that they might have done sold your theater, the Lincoln Theater, to someone else. Oh, Scott...Will your trials and tribulations never end?
Ah, but the dysfunctional details - courtesy of our pal Gaul Potleaf - keep a-comin'. Here are a couple of my favorites...
The non-profit Port Angeles Theatre has raised between $79,000 and $80,000 in its Light Up the Lincoln campaign...according to board of directors President Matthew Rainwater.
Between? And after all this time, after all the stories, after all the fuss and bother...That total amount raised hasn't really moved - other than to somewhere "between" $79,000 and $80,000.
Rainwater said another group in Port Angeles, one he would not identify, has been interested in purchasing the theater. "We reached out to them (Wednesday)," Rainwater said.
You finally reached out to them the day it's announced the theater's been taken off the market? No need to rush, right? Typical Port Angeles...
"We let them know if the sale does not go through that it's time for us to come together, instead of having competing interests, which shut each other down, to hopefully work together for the good of the community."
He said it was "a shame" that the groups had not gotten together before now, and said he didn't know why that hadn't occurred.
Memo to Matthew: It didn't occur because you didn't do anything. If you knew this other group was out there, you could have made the call. But you didn't. Scott didn't. No one did. Typical Port Angeles...
And so, we come to the end of another chapter of The Lincoln Theater is STILL for Sale. Be sure to tune in next time to find out if this has all been a dream...Or if it's turned into a nightmare for Scott Nagel. Will Scott have to keep his day job? Who are these mysterious new buyers? Will they offer Scott a day job? Will the Lincoln Theater be converted to digital, or become another "antique mall"? And what of beautiful Barb Frederick?
Most importantly, will Scott Nagel be returning somewhere between $79,000 and $80,000 to his supporters? Or might there be a zero or two missing for "overhead costs"? To find out, stay tuned! Or not!
They want to work together with the new owner? I'd run the other way if I saw any of those clowns involved in Light up the Lincoln. BTW CK nailed it again so I'll say it again. Genius! :D
ReplyDeleteNot genius, but thanks for the kind words. Frankly, I'd like for this particular plotline to finally be resolved one way or another...But I remain skeptical that this is that resolution.
DeleteDo remember, it IS April Fools Day.
DeleteNext come the lawsuits by those who pledged to Nagel and cannot get their money back.
ReplyDeleteSoon thereafter lawsuits against Russ to get money back from him.
Forensic accountants are still adding up how much he stole in his 15 years on the scene.
The whole affair sounds typical of Port Angeles. I'm sure some of the "between $79,000 and 80,000" (which in itself is a curious figure to arrive at) will vanish into thin air. That too would be typical of Port Angeles.
ReplyDeleteScott's wife is a "consultant" to this "project". She has to be paid, you know.
DeleteWhat IS Scott Nagel's day job anyway? Does this guy work?
ReplyDeleteThis is more related to the previous topics, but...every time I tried to go to the Port O Call website to read more about the ethics issues, I waited and waited and waited for the website to load. In three tries, it never did. It just kept "loading" forever. I couldn't read a thing. Anyone else having this problem???
ReplyDeleteI have the same issues when I go to their website.
DeleteWe are experiencing a great increase in traffic to the Port O Call website so that may be some of it. If there is another problem we will fix it. Our webmaster is on it. Thanks for trying and do come back. Port O Call
DeleteHey, you know what? If you want to challenge the facts laid out on this blog, feel free to do so. I want the information here to be as accurate and complete as possible. I welcome input, even corrections when there's wrong information.
ReplyDeleteOkay?
But, you know what else? Challenging details here while also calling me (and I quote) "a cunt," well, that's not helping yourself, or the point you're trying to make.
Okay?
So that leads us to...
TIPS FOR TROLLS #6: Don't call the moderator a cunt.
Okay? Great!
You know you're doing it right, when the trolls resort to frustrated insults.
DeleteTom Harper, jealous troll. That's all I'll say.
DeleteI doubt Nagel ever got any money. Who is their right mind would actually hand real money over to an obvious con-job like that proposal was?
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting to see how this plays out. Who IS this mysterious buyer? What the HELL were they thinking, in buying that piece of crap? What kind of poor person got suckered into thinking investing in Port Angeles makes any kind of sense?
We'll find out.
