sharing a gorgeous auditorium with 6300 other excited individuals cheering at the top of their lungs, watching a 16 year old girl move her body like water, connecting and reconnecting with old friends and new friends from the east coast to the west coast all storytellers in their own right. giving birth to ideas over thai and italian and korean and japanese, stopping for frozen yogurt and coffee and curry pastries between scouting locations, weaving in and out of unfamiliar, strange, and precious pockets of concrete and water that encompass quintessential new york, listening to the end product of what is truly the definition of collaboration, feeling our hearts rise and fall over and after the same lovely vision--

these are beautiful nights.
