Bygone Barcrawl

Hey Barcrawlers! Thank you so much for your patience with us for getting these episodes out. This first one is so important and exciting that we even forgot to introduce ourselves and the show! This episode is our recommendations for voting in Florida. As two queer women, one of whom is a woman of color, we disagree with the idea of "it doesn't matter who you vote for, as long as you vote." IT ABSOLUTELY MATTERS WHO YOU VOTE FOR. So, we give a run down of who we recommend and why. Obviously, you should just do what we say, but we will still give you reasons!
Early voting started in our county yesterday and I plan on getting in today if possible. Please vote, and please vote responsibly.

Hey Barcrawlers! Well, this is an episode that is extra drunk messy. There is a bunch of rambling, especially at the beginning and end. But I'm leaving it, because that's just who I am as a person!
Anyway! For this week's episode, Kate was in a bit of a mood for some World War I stuff (when is she not?!) and wanted to share info about the Harlem Hellfighters, the Black regiment from New York that spent more time on the front lines than any other American regiment. They also kicked so much ass. So, listen to our rambling and learn about an amazing group of men who were the true definition of heroes!

Y'all. I am so excited for this episode. Barcrawlers, in this episode, Anais tells Kate all about the amazing Florida Skunk Ape. What is the Skunk Ape? It is Florida's own cryptid, and it is beautiful. Also, Kate almost falls out of her chair multiple times. So, come and listen to this awesome episode. And may your bottle harvest be plentiful this year.

Hey Barcrawlers! Sorry for the delay on this going up. But this was a special episode. Not only because our sound was weird because SOMEONE kept messing with the microphone (not naming names, but it begins with a "J" and ends with "ordan"), but we also had some guests! Jordan and Kellie helped Kate with an episode while she was out of town. Anais was so excited to be left alone for a few days!
Anyway! This episode is about the US Camel Corps. Before the Civil War, the army was trying to find ways to travel across the West and decided to bring in some camels. How did they do? Also, did it involve certain people who eventually became president of the confederacy? Did we then design the perfect statue to commemorate these people? You will have to listen! And then go check out our instagram to see the beautiful statue that we may or may not have designed and then a friend brought to life.

Hey Barcrawlers! We don't usually do such famous events, but this one is so annoying that we have to say something about it. This episode is about how Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb wanted to commit the perfect crime and instead they failed at every step along the way. Unfortunately, because they said it was perfect, so has everyone else since. And that is incredibly stupid. So, this week, Kate is laying out her argument why no one should ever call this the "perfect crime" unless they are being very sarcastic and doing a shimmy at the same time!
Also, this episode comes out on August 23, 2022. That is an election day in Florida. There are primary elections for state offices, including governor. However, may places, like our hometown of Gainesville and home county of Alachua are having local elections. It is incredibly important to vote in local elections. There are times where this has more of an effect on your day to day life than national elections. You can go onto your county's supervisor of elections website and get a sample ballot and polling locations. Please do your research and vote. Kate posted some info on instagram and if you have any questions, you are welcome to reach out to us and we will help however we can. Also, if you are not yet registered to vote, please do that immediately so that you can vote in the general election in November. This is a big one for Florida, as Ron DeSantis is running for reelection, and y'all should know how we feel about that...and if you don't, just listen to this episode and you will know!
