I was way too wiped out to post last night, but Show is finally over:
Look at it all bein’ packed up. Well, at least the most grueling part of show is over… the behind the scenes work has been happening all day today. I’ll place my bet that we made over $200,000 during show this time… which is a major haul. It’ll be days before we have a final number, but I’ve seen some of the preliminaries and it looks swell. 
So, what kinds of things did we learn during show this time? Well, for one… I love models:
They just make show great! 
I also learned that you should never question anything. What do dancers have to do with a hair show? Couldn’t tell ya, but here they were:
They were a huge hit, but I still have no idea why they were there! I’ll tell ya, the show was completely packed this time, I know I haven’t been to many, but the last few paled in comparison. There were people everywhere, and I was told that most of the special shows ended up being standing room only towards the end. Some action (or inaction) shots:
Now that we have all that out of the way, I did wanna talk a bit about what I could only call “scams” but because of length those will probably be my next couple posts. In short, beware Ion Cleanse and LED Light Therepy, unless you like giving away money. If that is the case, I’ll take as much as you’d like to give!
Finally check out this neat place called St. Baldrick’s… from their site:
St. Baldrick’s is the world’s largest volunteer-driven fundraising event for childhood cancer research. Thousands of volunteers shave their heads in solidarity of children with cancer, while requesting donations of support from friends and family.
At a St. Baldrick’s event, something amazing happens. People who normally shy away from the very thought of childhood cancer find themselves compelled to support this cause after looking into the face of these brave children who are smiling broadly as their friends and family members proudly display their newly shorn heads.
Volunteers and donors see it can be fun to support a serious cause. Young cancer patients and survivors see how many people care. And researchers see St. Baldrick’s funds helping to find cures!
How awesome is that? As a cancer survivor myself, I think this is truly a great program… so did Scott (on the right), as you can see below:
All in all, it was a great Show, but I don’t think I’ll be fully recovered until this weekend… it’s a rough job, but someone has to do it!
