The Longest Day of My Life

Posted by

Beaming: my face as I walked up the stairs to my apartment last night at 1:30AM. I've never been more proud of my friends, family, and fans. Darn near everyone came out to support our Help-a-thon, which will assuredly go down as one of the (if not THE) most successful programs ever aired on TechTV. Cast and crew were giving 110% throughout the day – from six in the morning all the way to an hour past midnight. It was so fulfilling to look around the set, only minutes after the broadcast concluded. We were there to have fun, to help, and to try something that had only been talked about in years prior. Even in the late hours, the chat room was teeming with hundreds of viewers and the phone bank was full. I could only witness support vicariously, having limited access to anything other than the task at hand – in front of the camera for (pretty much) eighteen hours straight. I want to thank everybody for doing their part – in an official or unofficial capacity. You kept our spirits high, even when our tanks were running on empty. I sit here with so many happy memories dancing in my mind, knowing they'll stay with me for the rest of my life.
