Alaskaaaaaa!

Wednesday, November 17, 2010

Its been an amazing few days! Thus far we've facilitated 3 Youth Workshops and 1 Professional Development Workshop. Performed at a local packed venue where complete and utter silence took place (among more than 100 patrons) during our performance followed by a roaring applause (good times). We've been in 2 local newspapers aaaannnd made it to the FRONT PAGE of one of them!...Ladies and gentlemen Alaska is cold...but full of loooove.
