I Am A Roadie

So Yesterday was the first day of my part of tour and the Invisible Children: From Darkness to Sight exhibit opening. Such a good day!

We started the day at Sanford Calhoun, last year's Schools For Schools winners. I was expecting it to not be a very good screening because we were only showing to 60 students in a classroom and it was always so hard to get a hold of anyone there. So we screen The Rescue and sell some merch and then everyone talks about fund raising ideas for S4S. Jason and Kate, the teachers, talk about sending a student to northern Uganda and the students ask if they'd started fundraising yet. To everyone's surprise Jason says "don't worry, we've got about 5 digits right now." Luckily, Sean was able to catch my face when I heard this news.


My excitement couldn't be killed the entire day because once we left Calhoun we headed back to Manhattan for the opening of IC's exhibit on Bleecker St. It was so good to see Ben Keesey, Jason, Laren, Marcus Price, and every friend we met in NYC for the past two weeks was there. It was like our friends were coming to visit us for a straight 3 hours. Then we went out for some delicious Pizza and cookies afterwards before staying with our friend Lindsay.


Such a great day and end to an awesome stay in the big apple. I would love to return in the next 6 months and actually do some touristy things though. Vacation!!!
