DC threw a party for my arrival!
The DC gays threw a huge party as I arrived yesterday. Pretty boys, hot women and police handing out condoms. What an amazing time! My new friends, Jim and Michael, took me under their wings and led me to a path of all things rainbow. Near the mall, thousands of people joined together to welcome…

Post Mortem: Thoughts on what worked and how to improve it for next year.
After all the meetings, I am back home and reflecting on what we accomplished and what we didn’t. We were asked to speak to the Foundation board members on Friday and tell them of our experiences. It’s easy to go back after the fact and see the strengths of the program and those items that…

Valdosta airport is SMALL
I arrived early for my flight and there’s barely anyone here. The airport is so small. It’s been a while since I have flown out of a regional airport. I received an update that I am still working on gun control as my topic. Which is a relief because that’s what I had been focusing…

Tomorrow is the day!
In less than 24 hours, I will finally leave for the 2013 Washington D.C. Fellows program. Our original topic of Gun Control has been changed to USPS delivery changes. We are constantly being updated by the National Newspaper Association (NNA) staff, apprising us of schedule changes and the like. I am off to campus to…
