i arrived right when the luminaria portion started, and needless to say the tears came shortly after.
then when that was finished, a little girl got on stage and sang a couple miley cyrus songs. i contemplated leaving early at that point. but, then she finished. whew.
it was neat to actually join in on something i had been interviewing people about for months. i had been pumping out relay team features like arizona pumps out crazy legislation.
so, now to answer some of my own questions that i asked people about their relay experiences:
my favorite part was convincing/begging/pleading the DJ to let liz and i karaoke "don't stop believin'" by journey. and that no, the thunderstorm heading our way was not a big deal, and no you should not pack up the equipment. ok, we will back off. you don't have to ask us twice. sheesh!
my advice to future relayers is to bring a few different forms of caffeine and to take part in all the activities; like the tug of war, the obstacle course, and karaoke, if they let you. and of course, walking.
and finally, i relay for the same reason most people said; so future generations won't have to, to find a cure.
