What a long week! It started off with some bad news regarding the venue of July 24th event. So while we were running around like chickens with our heads cut off, we were also finishing up the final touches for Lobby Day. Then Tuesday morning we were up bright and early to ride out with our van of concerned citizens at 6:30 A.M. I’ve never gone to Lobby Day and so it was certainly a new experience for me. We met with Legislators and it was exciting to see how certain processes go.
After Lobby Day, it seemed as though Alannah and I were traveling all around Charlotte to fix our venue fiasco. At first it looked like their was no such luck… until today. We decided to try a stretch this morning and now it looks like everything is working out. And now it even looks like it’s working out even better than it would have. That just shows you that when you plan something amazing and the only thing that goes wrong is something small, you have no choice but to fix it. If you don’t, the failure is your fault.
We met with Queens University on Friday; thumbs up! We met with the Latin American Coalition on Saturday; double thumbs!
Until next blog…
Much love, peace, & happiness <3

Way to go, you guys!! Sounds like you learned an early truth about these things: something always goes wrong, but when you persevere it is amazing how many times it works out even better. It sucks it’s that hard — nothing ever seems easy and I’m not sure if I would trust something that did come easy at this point — but it’s a great feeling when you finally kick its butt and triumph.
Hope the plans for the PSA are going well!
