The FTC DVD has been started! Elyse arrived in NYC this morning and after 6 hours of video transferring and computer negotiations we made our first dent in the FTC video. We made great headway and got the Friends and Family performance and a few photos up (just a beginning many more photos, performances, interviews, and songs to be added!) We’ll send out this first draft so you have something to share with your friends and families who could not be there. Elyse is off to India and when she returns more progress will be made. Thanks to everyone who contributed photos and ideas… They’ll all make it in there eventually… More to come and missing you all. -Lindsey and Jason.
