This morning, whilst getting ready for work. I discovered a treasure trove of cosmetics lodged between the back of the toilet tank and the wall behind it. It was very exciting.
I'm digging out from being away from the office last week...so much to do. The good part is all of us here are in the same boat, so we can co-miserate.
Creation Festival was over before I could catch my breath. It was overwhelmingly busy this year with record numbers in attendance. New fields were even rented. The volunteers on my shifts were great. Kurt and I always work the same shift and we have a crew that requests us each year. That makes training MUCH easier. They rocked. Even during the times when we were swamped, it felt like our gates team was a well oiled machine. Go Red Gates!!!
I didn't see many concerts...I made an effort to see Mutemath on the Fringe stage and MOC because I knew the DJ. Highlights for me were by far candlelighting, flagging my first field, singing and dancing on the steps of the Staff Office during Newsboys with Karen and Kate (Creation is the only place I listen to them), and just the general comradery with everyone on staff. The thing about the festival that is alluring to me has less to do with the actual event and more to do with the teamwork and relationships with the people I work so closely with there.

I totally agree that the greatest part of Creation is the teamwork and seeing those same people year after year. And I'm so happy to hear that flagging your first field was a highlight! And I was there to experience it with you. =)

Sounds like it was a really fun time.
