Ok, so I know that my blogs are few and far between...but we are so busy! Just this past week we visited The Brown School, University of Louisville, Paul Mitchell the School: Louisville, Atherton High School, Seneca High School, Asbury College, Georgetown College, Paul Lawrence Dunbar High School, and University of Kentucky. The days all blend together, and I can never remember which day of the week it is. I repeatedly ask my teammates what day it is, and what we did that morning. It's crazy.
Asbury College, Asbury, KY.
On Wednesday, the Mid Atlantic Crew journeyed on to Asbury, KY where we spent two whole days on campus. My teammates Faith and Brennon went to do screenings at a high school and university while Adam and I stayed on campus to promote the Asbury College screening and participate in an "All campus pillow fight." Yes, I said that right, a pillow fight. But, let me tell the whole story.
Campus wide pillow fight at Asbury College. I borrowed a pillow from a guy named Micah and started hitting people. In between hits, I would stop and invite people to the screening that night!
Adam and I stayed behind at Asbury to hang out with our contacts, and help promote the event that evening. In the early afternoon we received a tour of the campus where we saw the chapel, the original college "house" from 1890, and the film school (the most important part of the campus). When we went into the hall of the film school on the wall, hanging in beautiful glory and majesty was the most amazing thing I have ever seen. I ran my fingers over the cool surface of this long, wooden stick and rubber "straw" and sighed. This was as closest I would ever get to Harry Potter. Apparently, the Media Communications program is really good at Asbury, and many students end up working on crazy movies and sending props back to the school. Examples: Coins from Hook, Potter from Prince Caspian, a skull from Indiana Jones, Claws from Wolverine, a giant potato peeler from Honey I Shrunk the Kids, pajamas from Dreamer, Goggles from Star Wars, a button box from Benjamin Button AND a broom from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I, of course had to get a picture with the broom. We found a chair in a random classroom and I climbed up on top of it to get a picture with the broom. It was epic.
Need I say more?

PAUL MITCHELL THE SCHOOL: LOUISVILLE
Paul Mitchell the School: Louisville
Earlier this week my teammates and I did a screening at Paul Mitchell the School: Louisville. I was so excited to do the screening there because we were going to share our documentary "Roseline" which I love. I also thought it was a nice change of scenery, because we usually only visit high school and universities. While we were there, Kim, the Education Director told us that they were going to treat us to free hair cuts. I was excited, because I knew the boys needed hair cuts, but I was so stubborn and did not want my hair cut. Shaneen had just cut my hair before I left Sacramento, and I only let her cut my hair! I eventually got over my fear, and a girl named Megan cut my hair for me. I had so much fun talking with her, and standing in the parking lot with wet, pinned up hair during a 30 minute fire alarm experience. She was so sweet, sincere and fun. I was sad to leave, because I felt like we could have been great friends! Oh, and I loved my hair cut! I have pretty much had the same hair cut since I was 18, with varying degrees of an A-Line, but I finally just chopped that A-line off and it is "squared" as they put it in the Paul Mitchell School.
Megan and myself after my new haircut! Love it!

THE BROWN SCHOOL: Louisville, KY
When my teammates and I pulled up to the city block that is "The Brown School" I discovered that the school was equipped with its very own Fallout Shelter. Good thing we have protection from a nuclear blast, I was very worried.
Well, I have a serious game of Apples to Apples to play, and a Farmers Market to attend at 7:00 AM tomorrow so I better head out! Five hours of sleep? Yes please!!
