A day in the blender
Wow, talk about egg on the face! So I'm sitting here waiting for the new Amnesty people to arrive, and its looks like a complete failure. The meeting was supposed to start 10 minutes ago, and NO ONE has shown up. Even one person out of the 16 that were invited would have been fine with me, but no, I'm sitting here by myself as usual. I guess it was just bad timing. Finals just ended, everyone is going home for the summer, just not a good time. Thats one aspect of college life I really hate, its like the whole world stops for the summer.
Oh well, getting to the blender part of it all, its weird because I had two other big events today, one of which already occured and went VERY well. I met with the presidents of VOX (the planned parenthood group on campus), and FMLA (Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance). So I guess it was a day of girl power! Anyway, both groups seem very active and very interested in working together with other groups on campus to promote womens issues. Which of course, fits great with Amnesty's End Violence Against Women campaign.
Now, I'm getting ready for my second trip in history to a bar. Evie and I are going to the Soapbox, a laundromat/bar downtown that is home to many progressive events. My friend Roey is throwing a fundraiser for his art mag (http://www.klutchmag.com) that is a Art/Fashion show, with live music. And most important to me, the peanut guy will be there! Thats right, the elusive returned peace corps member that invented a peanut shelling machine to save the world. I'm so excited to finally see the thing and meet the peanut guy, I can hardly stand it!
Well, its 5:23 which mean its definite no one is coming. So I guess I'll get back to work on organizational stuff for the Amnesty group. Talk to you all soon.
Peace
