Ode 2 U

A dear and beautiful friend who I've known for about 19 years is struggling with Crohn's disease at the moment and will continue to struggle until a cure is found or even an effective treatment. She is such an inspiration to me. Her strength and her unwavering positive attitude absolutely astounds me!
So I wanted to dedicate a blog to her to let her know that I think she's amazing and that I am always here when she needs me, but also to raise a bit of awareness of Crohn's disease. Whenever I am feeling bad or like giving up I think of my friend and remember that there are people out there with far greater problems than mine and that I really have nothing to complain about.

So my beautiful friend this is for you with love xoxo

This week has been a hectic week so far. The play that I was stage managing, 4play, closed on Wednesday. It was on for the Mardi Gras season at Slide on Oxford Street. I had an absolute blast working on this show, great cast, great crew, amazing venue and some great new Australian theatre.
We only had 7 performances but we played to amost packed houses every night. This is the first time that Slide have done theatre in the venue, they usuallly do dinner cabaret shows and Drag shows but this was their first dinner/theatre experience!! If you have never been to Slide you should definately get along to see El Circo or Claire DeLune in her new show starting next week.
Our charity sponsor for the event was ACON (Aids Council of NSW) and all the procedes from our preview night went to ACON and each night the audience have the option of buying desert after their meal and a portion of that went to ACON and each night we did a bucket collection at the end of the show for ACON.
After the show on Wednesday night we presented ACON with a giant (novelty) cheque for over $6000!!!
It felt so great to know that we were able to raise that kind of money for such an amazing organisation who do so much for the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer community and the wider community who suffer from HIV and AIDS and also providing eductaion on prevention and support services.
