Think Pink

So, I wanted to share about last Friday night, Tickled Pink, which is a night benefiting breast cancer. What a fantastic time! I went with two of my co-workers wives, and we had a blast. After trying on a million different outfits and stressing over my pink-less wardrobe, we arrived in style (i.e. we were dropped off by our husbands) and immediately walked down the pink carpet. At the end was Delta Goodrem, the #1 recording artist in Australia, singing/playing. We stood outside (in the cold) for a little bit to listen to her. She was beautiful, and had an amazing voice as well.

The three of us were starving and not sure what to expect inside. The event was held at the new VB facility in Roanoke, about a twenty minute drive from the facility where I work. We found a small table of food and made a plate, only to walk outside into a large white tent, FULL of food. Tons of different restaurants from around town had brought in tables of food, so we basically stuffed ourselves until we could eat no more. Needless to say, we did the same with wine. White Zin was our beverage of choice, considering it is pink.

We mingled all night, checked out the silent auction (but didn't bid on anything), looked at the Spring and Fall Previews for '09, listened to Delta perform some more, etc, etc. Basically just checked out all the party had to offer. I didn't have many expectations going into the night but found the evening to be completely fun and inspiring. What a great event to benefit breast cancer. I am genuinely looking forward to going back next year.

Getting ready. All the pink I'm wearing is borrowed.

Delta Goodrem!!

cheers!

WITH Delta! A cancer survivor.

Link to Delta Goodrem's song In This Life. Good stuff.

What a great night!

Well, I have to go now, Grey's Anatomy is on. Looking forward to tomorrow...jeans day at work, breakfast and lunch provided, and pizza and poker night after work. Can't get much better than that.
