Welcome, April

People keep telling me they read my blog. And here I thought nobody read it! You little cuties :) Last night Ashley and I went for a late night drive around downtown LA. We drove up and down Rodeo Drive, and saw probably the most expensive homes and shops we'll ever lay eyes on. Then we bonded over our top 3's, and ended the night watching American Idol with Fetus. We still can't get over how much of a doll Scott is. Today SoCal was at the infamous USC, home of the Trojans. I expected to hate that school because of deep seated football rivalry (Go Gators), but I really liked it! Part of me wondered why I didn't go there, seeing as how my school was almost as expensive... I'm actually regretting it a little. Anyway. We spent most of the day passing out fliers around campus and in res halls inviting ppl to the movie that night. Then I had lunch with Jon Meadows, Ben Friday, and Adam Clarke!! SO nice to see sweet, familiar faces, even if it was just for a minute. The screening turned out to be a songwriting competition! It was 6 finalists who had written songs inspired by the conflict in East Africa that had won a competition out of a bunch of songs. It was so cool to hear how IC and this global issue had inspired these artists to write such heartfelt things and perform with such passion. We (the roadies) got to judge the competition which of course was tough because they were all so personal and intimate. The guy who won is named Ryan and sang his song called Will Power. It was this gospel choir style song that I can't describe with words other than his. Hopefully, his song will be featured on the filmmakers blog for winning the contest. After the competition, we showed The Rescue to an amazing group of students that Cameron (not Cruz; USC Cameron, the other phenomenal Cameron in our lives) brought together. The screening went really well; we played with some of the club after, got the BEST milkshakes at Millions of Milkshakes, and met plenty of people with serious roadie potential. Serious guys! I can't wait to see what USC does for LA's Rescue, as if it wasn't already going to be the sickest one. Well, second sickest after San Diego, that is. And now it's 3:30 am and that means the time for bed has come and gone. Thanks for reading Glenn and John Kelly! I might crash weddings with Glenn this summer. We'll see. I realized tonight that crashing a wedding is on my to-do list sometime in my life. There are hundreds of weddings waiting to be crashed so let me know if you need a partner to celebrate a stranger's happiest day with them, I'll be down. If you haven't yet- watch The Rescue. If you're reading this and haven't watched it yet, you're a walking contradiction of a friend. But seriously, you're missing out on helping something that you most certainly can be a part of. That's all. Goodnight!
