i went by at 8pm and ther was 4 people there so went out for vietnamese
dinner and went home. wold have liked to have seen the giant panda dub quad. anyone know if they actually played.?? a

First I was gonna go, then I wasn't, but then my Mom decided we'd go anyway. We got down there around 9:30ish and there was NOTHING going on at ALL. The place was dark, there were no people there, just nothing.

I was sad.

My mom was working there, with wanderers rest... the animal apotion agency. we do a lot of vounteering for em... its a great thing to get in to. Was it an awesome time?


Trivia for ESM kids... Peg Newell = Miss Newell, our english teacher

YES!! I SAW THAT TODAY ON THE WEBSITE AND I KICKED MYSELF FOR NOT BEING THERE, DAMMIT!! I swear, I will play a show with that woman before I leave for college.

Haha, sorry, got a little excited..

Who exactly is "we"???

It'd be very cool sometime if we did a benefit for a group like that.

Hell, it'd be nice if we did a benefit for ANYONE. It's been too long.

Well, gosh, if you want to do a benefit, I've had ideas for a benefit for The Elias Fund rolling around in my head for a WHILE now. I was actually planning on talking to my hommies in the Cultural Awareness Club at school about getting a fundraiser together, but this could work just as well, if not better.

^ I tried to copy/paste the mission statement, but it didn't let me for some reason. At any rate, you can go there and check it out. Let me know what you think.

If you want to go more local, there's this AMAZING program called Arise (http://www.ariseinc.org/). I believe the Arise program itself is a national organization, but there's a chaper of it here in Manlius. This AWESOME guy, John Marshall, donated his 84 acre farm to the program after her retired, and now they're based out of there and people come from everywhere for their summer camps and stuff. I was going to get into volunteering there this summer, but I never found the time to get up there and talk to people and figure out a shedule. I think I might do it this spring though, because it looks like a lot of fun.

At any rate, here's the URL to the place here in CNY. http://www.arisefarm.org/

Let me know if you're interested in either of them.
If you haven't figured it out yet, charity work tends to be a specialty of mine.
