FIN.
Hey everyone! Sorry for our lack of updates…tour has been nuts. Absolutely nuts.
Annnd…now it’s over! We had our last screening tonight and I think we all have mixed feelings about it. It’s exciting to look back and see all the progress we’ve made, all the people we’ve met, and the places we’ve seen. The past ten weeks have been amazing and it’s hard to see them come to an end. Not to mention I think we’re all a little hesitant about trying to get back on normal schedules and sleeping on these things called “beds”. People keep talking about them, and I think I vaguely remember using one once, but I’m not too sure.
It does feel nice to be done, however, and I think I speak for the whole team when I say that I’m happy with all we have accomplished. Plus I’m pretty stoked to get back to LA and see the other nomads, so we can swap hilarious stories and relax together…on the BEACH.
So, all in all, tour was fantastic. I want to thank everyone who housed us, fed us, gave us haircuts, had fun with us, and took care of us over these last 10 weeks—y’all are what made tour what it was and I deeply appreciate you supporting us in these ways. None of this would’ve been possible without great contacts and receptive audiences who were eager to get involved…so thank you. I also want to thank our lovely regional manager, Matt Wood, for being so supportive throughout tour and putting up with everything we may have put him through. He’s a champ!
Even though this tour is over, LiNK’s work is not. I want to encourage any of you reading this, whether you be a fellow nomad, a follower of this tour since the beginning, or a random person who happened upon this blog during your internet adventures, to continue working towards getting the hundred (http://www.linkglobal.org/thehundred/home.html) out and ultimately, ending this crisis in North Korea. Our work is far from over, but we’ve gained a lot of momentum and we need to keep that going. So do what you can, help in the ways you know how, but don’t forget that we’ve got a long ways to go and will need help getting there. I’ll be right there with you, doing whatever I can from the chilly midwest.
Weeeell…that’s all for me. Thanks again, guys.
Go now, and live!
