The title of this post is how I feel I'm living my life lately. We're completely immersed in Relay right now so it seems we're having at least one fundraiser a week, and multiple meetings a month, and that's just my team. Throw in committee and team captains meetings and forget it!
Right now we're I'm planning a benefit concert for the team. I guess it's my own fault that I'm doing this, it all started with an episode of Glee, you know the one where they put on a benefit concert that no one shows up to? Well, as I'm watching this I'm insanely thinking "Hey, we can do this! I know lots of singers and musicians, what a great idea!" Then I rushed off to Facebook to "jokingly" state: "Hey if I had a benefit concert for Relay would anyone come?" Sure enough, I had many friends that said they would come and so I figured, awesome, we can do this!
Then came the actual planning, thankfully my friends at TCT got us the restored, beautiful Beekay Theater to host this concert and at a fantastic price. So then I figured I would focus my attention to the upcoming Magic Show benefit and return to the benefit concert afterwards. Well in my foolish calculations, I ended up only have about two weeks to finish planning this thing. I thought about backing out, saying, "I bit off way more than I can chew and let's try this next year." Then I got the email from TCT, they. had posted our benefit and were selling tickets on the website. I'm screwed.
So now the scramble begins to find enough singers and musicians and build a set list, oh and start selling tickets, how could I forget that? It feels like I'm losing my mind right now, but thankfully I really do know a bunch of talented singers and musicians, and thankfully I have friends that are willing to come see a bunch of local musicians singing and playing their hearts out for a good cause. This might actually work out. I hope.
