How did Philosophy Night start?
It was started as a way for people to get their opinions heard, both on the stage as a speaker and in the audience, during the question-and-answer followup. Originally, if I remember correctly, I was talking with my Mom, Grace Kemp, and she mentioned in London, England there's a place where people go to give public talks. Then, we discussed organizing something similar at a venue in downtown West Palm Beach, Florida. This was in the mid-1990's, before cell phones flooded the market, and people were more apt to participate in gatherings like this, as a way to connect and experience with others. Thankfully, The Wormhole, a thrift store, live music venue, book & magazine and 'zine space, allowed us to use their venue free-of-charge.
How did you find these videos?
Recently, I discovered the videos, in a variety of formats (VHS and 8mm video cassette, on a shelf at my Mom's place. Then, I set forth on the somewhat complicated mission to digitize them buying used VCR's on Ebay, and other video camera gear on Ebay and Facebook marketplace, and watching or perusing videos on how to transfer them to digital format. A lot of work.
