Roger, I love the concept, but I think it is already being done. Biggest is probably the upcoming literary seminar, nationally renowned. We have added a large and successful singer-songwriter festival. As a consumer of the arts myself, I think we are already amazingly well served, especially for a small town of our size.
Separately, we have fishing and other water sports tournaments and races–and raucous lower Duval action. Though I haven’t gone to Fantasy Fest in many years, I think it is a fine alternative to our “higher-class” features. I dimly remember getting drunk and frisky when I was younger. It was in keeping with having a widely-experienced mortality, not stuck up on our pedestals. I applaud Key West for serving us all broadly.
