Well anticipation for the summer is growing. I know Shoosh is finding more youth disinterested in going to Armenia, but I find the opposite over here. So many people I run into are planning on going to Armenia and it seems like there aren't enough programs to recommend them to.
I just got great news from the Birthright Armenia folks that the program's success is looking promising. There are so many people looking for such an opportunity, and it seems there are so many people interested in making it happen. So I don't have to explain it, go to www.birthrightarmenia.org for more info. The idea is to get more young diasporans to go to Armenia by illiminating the financial obstacle. I can't say enough about it. There are some tremendous people behind it and it seems like all organizations are on board to participate. This is great news.
And on the East Coast end, I'm getting applications pouring in for a summer in DC. I'm just picturing myself in mid-July... banging my head against the door and shoving interns away from me. I can't wait! I realize now how much last years' interns inspired me, so bring on the little squirts!... and the warm weather please.
Systemania continues. Tickets for the System benefit concert sold out in 17 minutes. For those of you going, take a good look at the program booklet. ;)
Ooreesh, Armenia nostalgia is kicking in (as if it went anywhere). I am dying to see Armenian Navy Band in Armenia... or at all for that matter. Arto, when are you coming to DC??? No... let me come to Armenia... that would be better.
Last Saturday was a hoppin' AYF Dance... lots of young Armenians showed up out of no where. I also saw a lot of the people I grew up with who faded away for a while. All had a good time.
This Sunday, the ACYOA has reserved tickets to a showing of Passion of the Christ, so I will finally get to see this movie, and with Armenians no less. I'm just waiting to hear the duduk play Dileh Aman... with so many Armenians in the crowd, I expect to see many tears in the audience, including my own.
Preparations for April 24th are underway. More details later when I have them.
