Thursday, November 15, 2007 Nuestra Casa Avant Premiere
Skipped Volunteering (woohoo!)
Worked on Biblia essay and finished Doc Soc essay
Running, almuerzo, work
Nuestra Casa premier- sold all 10 tickets!
Went early with Lorin to Quicolandia (snobville) in the super rich part of town, felt like I was back in the states. The mall was decked out in Christmas decorations (CRAZY!) and looked just like every other US mall.
At the theater in the mall, I “greeted” the guests, who were all obviously from a different social class than I’ve been working with at Nuestra Casa. Well dress, some pretty snobby
In the lobby were photos of the organization, I was in the background of one of the biggest ones!
Before the movie, presentation by Francisco (executive director of Nuestra Casa) and Alejandro
Passed out papers for people to sign up and become “socios”, or partners of the organization. i.e. give money every month. People gave a lot, pretty exciting
Movie- The Passion of Beethoven- in English with Spanish subtitles! I loved it. Cheesy dialogue at times, but the cinematography and the music was amazing (obviously, it’s Beethoven!). I think it deserves some academy awards.
After the movies, found out that my girlfriends all hated it! (Except of Courtney, who also loved it!) Oh well, their loss!
All the gringas took the bus home together. Being safe in the big city!
