The HRC Gala was awesome! We drove out to Raleigh yesterday afternoon, and stayed at the Marriott again, the same hotel where we stayed when we saw Bill Maher. We got all dressed up- Frank even rented a tux. He looked really good! Unfortunately, we forgot to bring a "real" camera, so we only have a few pictures taken on Frank's iPhone, which are ( Read more... )

The Ticket Envelope is getting full again, which is good because it means we have things to look forward to! And yes, this is an actual envelope with actual tickets (except the HRC Dinner). I don't mind print-at-home tickets, but generally if the old-school little printed pieces of cardstock are available for no extra charge, I'll request them. ( Read more... )

Again...sorry, I am not keeping up with LJ very well. If you makes you feel any better, I've not been Twittering much either, and sometimes I leave the same Facebook status message up for days ( Read more... )

The 2009 HRC Carolinas Gala is in the record books. And I know I should be used to this feeling now, after 3 Prides, but all that work, and after a few very fast hours, it's over! I am so tired. I need a vacation. Oh, wait, I am going on one tomorrow ( Read more... )

I'm taking a short break before I get dressed and ready to go back to the Convention Center. So far things have been going really well, and everyone's been pleased with the volunteer turnout yesterday and this morning. I just hope the trend continues tonight and tomorrow ( Read more... )

The HRC Gala weekend is here! I won't be home much for the next 3 days. Today I have a quick doctor's appointment (just a regular check-up) and then I'm off to the Convention Center for most of the day for set-up, then to the Westin afterwards for Takeover. Tomorrow- more set up, then of course, the big event in the evening. Then Sunday is a ( Read more... )

Frank reminded me last night that I haven't LJed in awhile. Yes, we live together and I spend more time with him than anyone else, but he still likes to read about what's going on in my head. Because sometimes I prefer writing it than saying it ( Read more... )

I'm feeling kind of disconnected this weekend. Yesterday it seemed like everyone was talking about the Panthers game, and I did not care about it at all. Tonight people are talking about the Golden Globes, and I'm not into them at all this year, either. By "people" of course I mean the Twitterverse/Facebook/etc ( Read more... )

I've felt very blah and tired all weekend. Yesterday when I left for the HRC Gala Committee meeting, Frank had a terrible headache and didn't feel well. On my my way home I called and asked if he needed anything, and he wanted a chocolate milkshake, so I stopped at Cook Out and got milkshakes, plus some hush puppies and a corn dog. I came home, ( Read more... )
