LifeWalk and Annie Lennox


What a weekend! Sunday was a long day. Mark, Brian, and I went to the LifeWalk around 11 am. We met up with our Rainbow Ranch team and hung out at the park until the walk started around 1 pm. It was a beautiful day for a walk - sunny, but not too hot. By the end of the day we had raised about $15,000 in online donations for our team alone. That doesn't include all of the donations made offline. Our team will be in top 3 fundraisers - not bad for 7 people! Pictures.

After the walk our team decided to go to Buffalo Wild Wings for the worst service ever. We ended up walking after about 30 minutes just waiting to get drinks. The manager and waitstaff didn't care that their service was horrible. This was our third and last visit. We went next door to a Salvadoran restaurant where we got impeccable service.

That night we headed out to see Annie Lennox. I find myself at a loss for words to describe it. She is indescribable in person. Granted I've been crazy about her for as long as I can remember. This was definitely one of the best concerts I've ever seen - not for effects or size, or any quantifiable description, but because it was so intimate. It was held at McFarlin Auditorium at SMU which seats only 2400 people.
