Another “Art with Heart,” Another Long Day

November 2, 2009

I’m sitting in the lobby of the Covey Center of the Performing Arts in Provo, waiting for my daughters to finish their Art with Heart dress rehearsal, and connected to the outside world with my Cricket card. I barely slept, worried about the work I needed to get done today and whether my daughters would get up in time for their 7:30 a.m. roll call in Provo! Fortunately, we all made it on time….

Now I sit, working on a press release for TestOut and trying to get two releases for Lingotek through the approval process. When I needed a little break from those projects, I put in some follow-up calls to the press in hopes of getting at least one story on Art with Heart. So far, KSL, ABC4 and KUTV is supposed to be coming (Fox13 laughed at me, in a good natured way, of course; the World Series is cutting their broadcast down to next to nothing — they’re definitely pulling for the Yankees to end the series tonight so they can get back to normal! Me too!) The Daily Herald is sending a photographer as well. That’s some nice successes, if I do say so myself.

My girls are done at 5 p.m., but have to get them dinner and back by 6 p.m., then pick up my mother in Lehi before getting back to the Covey Center for the 7 p.m. show (and the arrival of the media – no breaking news to disrupt my light news, please!)

By the way, if anyone wants to come to Art with Heart, it’s tonight and tomorrow night at 7 p.m. You can purchase the $20 tickets (ouch!) at http://www.coveycenter.org. All proceeds go to Shriners Hospital. Come watch!!
