Lately....I am good!!!!

Hey so once again I want to apologize for not keeping the blog up to date. We have been completely swamped with work. So as you can see below, me and many of the other roadies have begun a tradition of watching the sunset from our balcony at the villa every night after work. It makes everything else kind of melt away which makes things kind of euphoric (apart from the fact I'm living in San Diego with 55 other people working for an amazing organization).





Anyfart, I figure now is as good a chance as any to take a feeble attempt at trying to sum up some events of late...

Tour launched on Thursday and it was quite a sad time for all. Tears were shed, hugs were hugged. Most of all, friendships were solidified. I have met some amazing people through this experience and I would not trade it for the world. <--- That is Lisa Dougan. She is my Tour Manager (RM) and is probably the coolest person ever. She has been so supportive ever since the first moment I spoke with her. I will miss her dearly as she is like my mom whilest I am out here on the road. :(




This picture --------> can pretty much sum up the experience that is driving through Arizona. It was pretty much all desert. On a lighter note, according to the border patrol, IC is in the business of drug trafficking. Just kidding. But for real, we were deffered to the search and seizure area of a border patrol checkpoint along I-8 on our way to Phoenix. We were asked to get out of the car, then were frisked thuroughly, and then asked if we would allow them to search our van. It was quite an experience seeing as we are a non profit organization trying to end a war, not smuggle people into the United States. I thought that was funny. On the note about Phoenix, we stayed with such an amazing kid. His name is Nicklas Handel and he was a Schools for Schools trip winner on this past round of S4S. He is a senior at Desert Mountain High School and is tearing up the fundraising trail. His family is absolutely amazing and he has such an amazing house. I was blown away.

Apart from that, I had the chance to visit the beach again before I departed my beautiful new home. I am pictured <--- here with my great Canadian friend Victoria. She will be touring Canada with Matt Wood and Kevin Barnes this tour and i am pumped for that.

As for now, I am safe in Oklahoma now. We have our first screening Monday September 8th at 8pm on the University of Oklahoma campus. It should be a good turn out especially with all the guerilla tactics going into it.

Next post hopefully won't be too far off. I love and miss you all.
