Current TV man found BRAF space done as early as Thursday. He asked if he can do an interview on our premises with Larry and we said yes off course. They set up their equipment and Larry was ushered into the spot. As he was getting briefed on what questions was going to get his way, Tom Price was pacing anxiously waiting for the post digging machine to show up so he can finish the Black Rock Solar kiosk he was building. As the cameras was just about ready to roll, the digging machine shows up making loud sputtering noises as Tom guides him to the spot. Current TV guy runs and asks Tom if they could hold for a while. Tom emphatically told him to back off. TV guy says you don’t know who I am dealing with. “It’s the man with the hat.” Tom’s agitated reply was: “You tell Larry to wait!” Larry could hear everything as he was probably just 20 feet away. Rebuffed, TV guy backtracks. To placate him and to diffuse the situation, Larry’s response to all the drama was: “Get it over with.” Rest In Peace Chief Burning Brother. We’ll see you in the Great Beyond whenever.
