Squee!!

Remember how I said a few posts ago that I'm organizing a vigil to support the LGBT community, and that it's part of a nationwide event?  Well, I just talked to one of their people and they invited me to attend a workshop in Austin on the 16th.  They'll pay for my plane ticket and hotel room!  

This is a very good, as I'm totally over my head organization wise.  I mean, dealing with protestors in a peaceful manner?  No problem!  I was stationed in Korea and AZ, after all.  But organizing the event, raising the money and finding the right permits and sponsers for everything?  Way over my head!  

I'm hoping to get some good information from this, and if nothing else, maybe make some contacts.  Wish me luck!  I'm so excited!
