First of all, I owe a HUGE thank you to everyone who donated their time, money, an item, lent their support or showed up and had fun. We simply could not have done it without you!

From beginning to end, Dinkstock was absolutely amazing. Everyone was in a fantastic mood, the bands kept everyone going into the wee hours of the morning, I was still standing – in 4.5 heels may I add (ok barely) – after 13 hours, and we managed to raise MORE THAN DOUBLE of my goal for the evening.

Success? I’d say so. Not just monetarily speaking (which it most CERTAINLY was), but working with and being surrounded by such generous, caring people makes me feel so god damn lucky to be friends with the people I’m friends with and get to meet the people they’re friends with.

I’m sorry this entry took a few days to happen and it’s not exactly full of details (go to Dink’s blog to read her response.) I have been doing triple time the past week or so, with no end in sight (at least in the next few days). Dinkstock was weeks of prep and a long day of complete awesomeness, and in addition to that I took on some insanely awesome and insanely time consuming freelance work. In fact, I took Monday and Tuesday of this week off from my day job to put in 13-15 hour days for that project. I’m crazy, I know. But between that and Dinkstock, it’s all work I love, and work I’d like to be doing full time. Once it launches (projected March 1st launch), I’ll get some links up and let you all decide if it’s good enough to make a career out of ;)
