Friday night we did just that! Our dear friend Luis put on an amazing event in Phoenix that was jam packed with adventure! Adventure including me dropping a huge event table on my bare foot, that was great for sure! haha! So many excited faces for TOMS and some reps from Invisible Children showed up as well. There were artist stations set up, where people could move from station to station to get their TOMS painted. My best, Sentrock, even painted some shoes to be raffled off for the night! Phoenix provided much needed respite seeing that I still have my apartment there. We re-charged our batteries and have now returned back to beautiful Southern California, only we almost got blown away at a dinosaur park yesterday.

Last night we had the pleasure of taking TOMS to Chapman University for the first time, and our rep Natalie was a brilliant host. In the first 15 minutes, 5 items had already been purchased. These guys were great at coming up with shoe names: my personal favorite was El Shoepacabra! Yes! Such creativity!

Right now, many of us Vagabonds around the country are watching The Rescue live in Chicago. Invisible Children is dear to our hearts and we all wish we could be there singing along. There are hundreds of people singing “In the name of love, Oprah come and rescue us” in hopes to be rescued after being out in the Chicago streets since Saturday afternoon. Our hearts are beating for Joseph Kony’s child soldiers.

Next week we get to meet up with all the other Vagabonds and dance the night away in Vegas. We are all so excited. I know I don’t speak alone when I say that a little bit of my heart is in each of those Vaga Vans across the country… it will be nice to have us all together once again.

Tour is winding down but we aren’t done yet. We have promises to keep and miles to go before we sleep!
