I wish every last one of you could have been with me last night. I was
thinking about you all!! I am working on an "official" CRUSH MS update
but I have a real job to attend to first! So this is just a little
montage of what went on last night.
To clarify, because somehow,
no matter how hard you try and how clear you are, newspapers and TV
reporters cannot get the facts straight if their lives depended on it.
Why is that? I want to know.
Cyprus Credit Union, which is the
CU where Brett Hales works, donates thousands of dollars to MS every
year. They participate in all the MS walks and bike rides, etc. and are
such strong supporters of MS. We were thrilled that they decided to
donate a part of their $50,000 through CRUSH MS. In reality, it all
goes to the same place, but this was a lovely gesture on their part. We
will be able to add $10,000 to our total.
David was gracious
enough to come and present the check on behalf of the Credit Union to
the Utah MS Society and then sign autographs for the CU employees and
their families. THANK YOU UTAH PEEPS FOR NOT INUNDATING THE PLACE! He
had a few interviews with TV stations, then looked adorable in a little
pre-event reception. He signed a bunch of stuff that we are getting
ready to auction in our next phase of fund-raising. Gave him the I'M
RAY shirt. What is up with that you may ask?
You've seen Ray
wearing the shirt that says I'M DAVID. Originally it was for David,
along with the other snarky shirts for the band, but the sizes were
much too large, so Ray asked David if he could wear it, which he did at
the House of Blues concert. And other places. Also Manila. I feel
strangely delighted that he wears it at the biggest events. Soooo, of
course, we had to get David one that says I'M RAY. It is a size small -
it looks bigger in the picture, but it will fit him well. And it's made
in Honduras. Which he noticed right away. Go figure. He totally got the
joke. I doubt we'll see it in concert but if it brings a few laughs
we've done our job, right? And of course it is total pimpage for
snarkies because the URL for the site is on the back!
David
drove himself to the event, accepted the check, smiled, clapped, had a
snow cone - or part of one, ate nuts, signed a gazillion autographs,
was adorable, took a gazillion pictures, texted, twittered, was sweet,
sang Happy Birthday, made hundreds of people happy, shone, sparkled,
glowed, pretended he remembered me, interviewed, handed out wristbands,
signed to Julee MOM on my
picture (thanks Brett!), drank water, was little, was adorable, DID NOT
KISS ANY GIRLS FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH OR WITHOUT HIS DAD PRESENT,
acted like he wanted to be there whether he did or not, was a
gentleman, was adorable, commented on Real Son's height as well as
squiggly pigs and his autograph, laughed, handled awkward situations
like a pro, was a star, was adorable, supported MS, didn't want to know
how much his autograph brings at auction, DIDN'T KISS A GIRL - oops,
already said that, radiated light which you can see in the video, drove
off by himself when event was over. Not that I noticed any of these
things. People told me it happened.
JENNIFER LEIGH BARRY YOU
ROCK!! Her pictures, which she donated and refused payment from the CU
for, were everywhere. Just so you guys know.
So enjoy! Today is
WORLD MS AWARENESS DAY and I will continue to put names of people who
donate into the drawing for the Murray High Shirt until midnight
tonight!!
