Kickin' Balls for Cash!
Update on my last post — Sunday was Dirty Fall Quickball 2011 and guess whose team walked away with the tournament championship trophy and raised a bunch of money for the Reateaching Gender & Sexuality Tour?!?!?!? :)
Had a lot of fun playing kickball with so many awesome people, can’t wait till next year!
To learn more about the Reateaching Gender & Sexuality Tour, visit reteachinggenderandsexuality.org and learn how you can help out.
Help me support a good cause?
Hey friends! I know I don’t post here very often anymore — so this MUST be important, right? ;)
IT IS! This Sunday I am going to playing Kickball (for the first time since elementary school) on TEAM GOLD for the Dirty Fall Quickball 2011. It’s a Kickball tournament, complete with halftime show, concessions and all sorts of FUN to benefit the Reateaching Gender & Sexuality Tour. Check out the video below and visit the reteachinggenderandsexuality.org site to get an idea of what the awesome organization is doing to re-define gender and sexuality all over the country and help queer kids lead happier healthier lives!
So — how can YOU help? Well I am glad you asked — make a donation in my team’s honor (TEAM GOLD!) OR if you are in Seattle and want to check out the festivities on Sunday, pick up advanced tickets!
Let’s kick some BALLS!

“I have been experimenting with a new strategy for combatting procrastination and it seems to be working! It’s nothing so genius; it’s actually a very simple idea — which might explain why it has proved effective.
I started using a stopwatch.”
