Day one is complete.

After three delayed flights, I made it here at 1:30am San Diego time (4:30am Orlando time) and was met by my wonderful teammates Jenelle and Randy and some of my friends from last Spring, Christian and Heather. I arrived in the roadie house (a two story, one basement, one attic, 16-people-per-room amazing house dedicated to housing the Fall roadie class during our 5 weeks here - I promise it's legal..somehow. We learned that today.), went to sleep and woke up four hours later to began my first day as a roadie.

I can only describe my feeling after today as being energetically exhausted. It was a full day (as I'm learning, this entire tour will be) full of staff intros, welcomes, new faces, old ones, and an intro into who IC is, the working environment and what we're all about here. As strange as it may sound, I think I'm most looking forward to the work and seeing myself grow as I learn and am challenged every day. There is no doubt (we we're reminded constantly) that this is going to be an incredibly busy, tough and exhausting time. It will require long days, little rest and as they told us, no time to process anything until our job is done.

Day one is about to wrap up. I'm tired, but thankful to be here. It's such a blessing. Lesson from day one: Humility in the work IC is doing is crucial. Things will get tough and my humility will be tested, but ultimately we are here for a greater cause, one that cannot be defined by one roadie team, one merch sale, or one screenings. We are here because of those that came before us, and those supporters that aren't here inside these walls.



This is a special place to be, a special place to work and a special place to grow. We have an insane belief in the impossible. We believe that this fall Joseph Kony will be caught.

This is something special.
