I think that I just had one of the most exciting days ever! In addition to my previous post where I got to interpret a rally for Michelle Obama, I got free passes to an event for the DNC here in NC tonight. So I dragged my mom to it. The passes that we had entitled us to sit in the bleachers. Down by where the speakers would be were all of these fancy pants white table clothed tables. Turns out that it was a $225 a plate dinner down there.
So long story less long, mom starts chatting with a woman who sat near us (I was at the concession stand, Dorton Arena, please staff your concessions better at events like these!) and the woman ended up going to ask if we could sit at one of the empty tables down there. Apparently this was instigated by my mom who said "If my daughter were here she would ask if we could sit down there." So the woman said she would. And she did. AND we got to sit down there! We had a FREE 3 course meals including filet mignon! And we got to hear the Gubernatorial candidates, US Senate candidates for NC, AND Hillary and Obama! And we were right there, all for free, all due to a trickle down effect from my interpreting assignment earlier that day, a last minute thing, and all built on just being open and talking to people!
Life can be pretty exciting sometimes!!! Whoo hoo! I am still so wired, I might not sleep tonight!

Totally rad!
I think it had something to do with your inner fly-ness.
I was just thinking about it...why was this event at Dorton Arena? Is that all the DNC can muster to get, a weird building that's falling down where the circus used to come to town?
But then maybe it has something to do with them trying to regain power from elephants. Humph.
Well, I agree with your take on my inner fly-ness, and you might have something there with the whole 'elephant' thing! Either way, I was thrilled that it was sooo close to home for me, convenience is a great thing!
