The last 24 hours have been absolutely insane. Yesterday I left work and headed straight over to the neigboring school district's football field for the fundraiser walk. The organizer Judy had seen the newspaper article about me and asked if I would be willing to take part in the festivities by playing some of my music and giving a talk. I agreed and also passed the information about the fundraiser on to my school's , who eventually put together a team to take part in the walk. While they were walking yesterday, I played my music for about 20 minutes. I had hoped to play longer, but oh well. After that I waited around for a while before giving a short, unrehearsed talk on my experiences with cancer. It was successful if for no other reason than it made Katie and Feng, two members of the Key Club team, cry. I'm glad I got to take part in such a good cause.
Now as for today, I went with Mark, Erol, and Kim to a local jazz festival. Interestingly enough, one of the acts we saw was the guy who got third place behind me in the music contest last March. He was absolutely amazing. What a great music filled day. Luckily, the four of us left right before the entire festival got rained out.
