I have enjoyed watching this project unfold as the weeks have gone on, through the joys or finding volunteers to the stresses of finding food donations! I feel honored to be a part of it and seeing it come together these past two nights has been fantastic. I hope whoever reads this will get hold of some tickets and join us for our last night in Austin. I want to repeat what Lindsey said....If you cant afford the full ticket price Please Please Please don't hesitate to contact Rosh. He will be happy to work with you.

Getting to know Rosh and all the others that travel with him has been fantastic. At first I had problems with sitting in the dark, but when I finally relaxed an started to get used to my surroundings, words cant explain how it was. The music was so amazing, listening with none of the distractions you normally have ( lights, watching the musicians and other distractions in the room ) I truly felt the music in a way I never have before. Also talking to the blind servers and learning a bit about there life's experiences and problems made me look at a lot of things in a new way. Volunteering for this was something I will never forget and hope to be in another one very soon. If you cant make it tonight, I have a feeling there will be another chance in the future. Outstanding work putting all this together.CJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780795730939193102.post-79751450297053838702011-03-25T18:12:04.625-05:002011-03-25T18:12:04.625-05:00I went to the Blind Cafe last night.

I felt a little nervous as our blind guide had my friends and I form a train by putting one hand on the shoulder for the person in front of us and then led us into the dark room. Inside, people were chatting away and eating, but you could not see a thing. We all figured out how to eat and how to serve up the food (family style) on our table. I even refilled my water! The food was wonderful, and the music was so great (singer-songwriter stuff with a string quartet). The first song was written and performed by our blind guide, and it was called, "You're Not Alone in the Dark." After feeling so vulnerable in that setting ("Where am I? How big is this room? Am I going to trip? What's around me?") it was pretty poignant.<br />Rosh is open to selling tickets on a sliding scale. He just wants more people to be able to experience it. Email him: it's worth it!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13290483595972626808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780795730939193102.post-36623313481699811082011-03-25T12:54:14.051-05:002011-03-25T12:54:14.051-05:00What movie was it where they went somewhere simila...What movie was it where they went somewhere similar...or was it a Friends episode??
