RALEIGH CSTS 08

So I know I haven't been around the 'verse as of late but my life has been incredibly insane and sad to say my time for FF got cut a bit...

I'm mainly posting this to gush about how WONDERFUL a time I had the previous two nights at Raleigh's CSTS event! This was my first time going and I'm hoping I'm close enough next year to be able to come again but I had a blast! I got to meet so many shiny Raleigh browncoats and put some faces with the names I've talked with on here. I'm hoping we raised a ton of money (I know I sold a bunch of raffle tickets!) and just wanted to thank everyone who volunteered with me and just came out and made it such a shiny event! Oh and a BIG thanks to Flame who - well pretty much is the shiniest person ever because she organized the whole Big Damn Event!

There was a really special moment for me that happened last night and just really made me smile. I had been selling tickets for both nights' raffles and there was this one woman I met the first night and her boyfriend told me that she was new to the 'verse. Well I saw her again the second night and we talked a bit and at the end of the night she asked if she could give me a hug. Of course I said yes and she said to me 'thank you for making this so special for me'... I was really really touched!

Anyways I'm out for now - I leave for my other favorite 'verse tomorrow (Disney World) and I've not packed at all... go figure

Hope everyone is having a shiny summer! Catch ya round the 'verse :)
