I have all my tickets! I love everybody. You'all really came through and are awesome.
The story must be told. I wanted to check the Planet website for resale tickets but forgot because I was in the middle of teaching and giving students their grade reports of missing work and it was a bit crazy in my class. My cell rings, I never pick up but I did this time, Hope’s message to get on the planet site, OH MY GOD, WHAT TIME IS IT. I went to the planet site, had trouble logging on, a computer class and the internet is slow? Starting to worry knowing the issues with the planet’s server, please, oh please, … Students come up to me “Ms. Bullock?” “Sit down.” Staring at my computer, please baby please load the page. ….. I called Hope – she gave encouragement.
Another student “Ms. Bullock” “sit dowwwn please. “ ok, the page, log in – breath – find the tickets, mercantile – no I don’t want a shirt (yet), breath, tickets, telluride, ok tickets, click wrong site, “Ms Bullock? “ sit down – please PLEASE.” “What’s wrong?” says the sweet little darling. “Just let me think” …Tickets, ok, town park, click, purchase, ok, confirm, . “Yeah!” Students “What happened”,…. I told them the whole story, about how my friends in New Orleans have seen such despair, such trouble, such devestation and I wanted them to have this experience of being surrounded by green beautiful mountains, relaxing and enjoying all the beauty. Now my students are excited for me. One said, “Well how can you have fun if I’m not there.” “I’ll see what I can do”.
Thank you one and all for your help in making this happen for my friends. Be sure to visit. All I can say now is FESTIVAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL!
My heart is smiling with you, Courtney.
