AIDS Walk

I may not have actually walked, but I am so glad I went to the SF Aids Walk (I turned in my money, that's the part that really matters, I think). It was quite a sight to see ALL those people, all united for such a great cause. My eyes welled up as soon as I got off the bus, just to see the sheer numbers of people. The only letdown: no t-shirts. It was disappointing, especially seeing that all the other teams had them. Oh well, stuff happens.

Wilson Cruz gave the most incredible speech at the opening ceremonies. He was in Rent way before I had ever heard of it, so this was my first exposure to him. He was fabulous - inspiring, motivational, and HILARIOUS. He brought me to tears again, first with emotion, then with laughter. Then he posed for a picture with our walk team, one cool dude.

Ok - show of hands, who DOESN'T love Richard??? I'm so glad we finally got to meet in person, and I hope that you know that you will NEVER WALK ALONE!

Not a really significant picture, but aren't Leah and I cute as hell? Funny story: I was so out of it in the morning, I mumbled something to Leah about "I'm not going," which pissed her off, so she stormed out and slammed the door. This woke me up though, as I raced over to the park to try to catch up with her and beg for forgiveness. "I'm sorry! Sleep deprivation! Whatever I said I swear I didn't mean!!!" But I found her among all those people, amazingly enough, so it's all good.
