I expect most of you to finish this post and do nothing. But for some of you, for those of you who remember me, remember my spirit. You will see what I am asking for and know that this is a special moment for me and reach out to help.
For those of you who I have lost touch with, i am currently volunteering at a conference center in western Massachusetts.
For anyone who knows me, you know that I love to write. You know that it started at the Bridge Cafe performing spoken wrod and that I have made many life changes to pursue my dream of becoming a novel writer.
On February 24th, I am leaving on a pilgrimage to Peru. I have very little money and could use the support of the people who believe in me.
Even if it is $1(or $5, or $10 or more if you feel inspired). Every last bit will help.
Perhaps this is a stretch, but I believe that I have to ask for help in order to get it.
If you feel so inclined, ask your friends.
Tell them you know a soul, who is trying to pursue its dream.

McKendy, Cara, Ryan, Heidi, Matt, Summer, Beau, Unseen...whoo-whee...and we're not even done yet...semi's are gonna be intense. Step up to the plate, people! Now's your chance to answer the call.
Hey I was wondering hoe many people go to these events that live in Amherst/Brookline/Hollis/Mt Vernon/Wilton that I can carpool with? I will pay for gas. Send me a message if you can help me out.
Hey, so I'd just like to point out how much I'm geeking out over the fact that I start off your NH Chronicle episode =D Which is very nice by the way :) I really like the way Mark describes slam
Our bridge has grown by one more stone ! Please allow me to introduce the fun inside the Slamophone …
It all started with the idea that SLAM is too live, too diverse, each syllable - unsellable, every ephemerical verse too fierce to be forced or coerced … Plus, this new cuisine needs no chef ! Tongues are spinning on every corner, and French cannot be left for deaf.
So with a camera in hand, we've taken the country by storm; videalistic is the spirit, originality the norm. We started out with 50 vids, now we are up to 360, from Montreal down to Marseille, from Pointe-à-Pitre to Gai Paree.
Take any door and come on in. Be curious, you will be served : 360 clips around our way, 360 clicks around the word …
Almost noon on the day after and no "Best Night of My Life" posts? Must have been a truly epic evening...everyone's still knocked out. I'm sure it was amazing.
