Shoot Your Friends To End A War

So blogosphere,

I am organizing an Invisible Children benefit on Monday, and I would really appreciate your help. Here's the deal:

Come in to Laser Chase in Cool Springs, TN anytime between 1pm and 9pm on Monday, August 13th. Play a normal game (or games) of laser tag, and at the end of the day, Laser Chase has agreed to give 50% of their profits to the nonprofit Invisible Children. It's that simple. We will also be showing some new Invisible Children media at the event as well. The media alone is worth stopping by the event.

It's a nice, family environment, so it's safe and fun for the whole family. In fact, working at Laser Chase, I see that it's usually the adults that have more fun than the kids they bring! For those of you who unfortunately have your first day of school on the 13th, cheer up! It's only a half day, and the second half you can spend with you friends having fun and playing laser tag, all while helping to end the war in Uganda. Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it?

You can get directions and information about Laser Chase through their website, or you can visit the benefit's facebook event page here.

So please make every attempt possible to bring all of your friends and families to this event this Monday. You won't regret it. And if you are feeling especially nice, I would love for you to repost this on your blog and try to help me spread the word. I would love to see hundreds and hundreds of people all playing laser tag for a cause on Monday!

Just remember, shoot lasers, not guns!

Uno, Dos, Tres!

1) GO BELMONT!!!! Once again, they have locked in their place in the big dance by winning out their tournament this weekend. Looks like we're starting a trend. Also, I would just like to point out that my team KANSAS has ascended to the number 3 slot in the country and have pretty much guaranteed a number 1 seed in the tourney. Now that's something to get excited about! Can' wait for March Madness...

2) I started my new job today :o). I am officially a Laser Chase Marshall. Oh yes. It's fun. I basically get paid to hang out with kids and play laser tag. I can't really complain. So go to the new location on top of Southern Ice in Cool Springs and hang out with me.

3) I'll be heading out on the first of 2 trips that I will be on for Spring Break tomorrow. I don't know if I will have internet access, so this may be the last post in a while. Monday morning I should be staring at the beautiful Atlantic Ocean at Myrtle Beach. We are also spending at least a day in Charleston, which I have heard is one of the most interesting and fun cities in the U.S. I am incredibly excited. I'm armed with some great music, podcasts, and books, and I intend to do some damage. I just had a conversation with a friend about our Spring Break trip last year, and I can't really believe it's been a year. We seem so much older and alltogether just different people. I'm so glad I'm where I am today, but I'll be happy to see a day where us old friends can come together (hopefully on a similar trip) once again.

Thanks for tuning in!
