On the first day I had to spend canceling travelers checks and changing all bank and email passwords. Then created make shift flyers. Luke and I managed to recieve $55 in donations with 4 hours of work. Got invited to 2 different parties. The first...well lets say there's no way i could have predicted it!!!! We walked down to Napier St. to the very spot Billy had been parked and knocked on the door of the closest house, we were instantly hustled in to join the party with offers of beer and wine, I love the Kiwi's hospitality!! Roughly 30 seconds later we're shaking hands with all sorts of people; the governor of somewhere, people involved with all sorts of media!, apparently a queen of somewhere/something, an ex-Mayor of Auckland! and then John Campbell from Channel 3!!! There was talk put around of maybe getting us mentioned on the tele, or some form of media, however I'm not entirely sure how or if it would even be remembered the next morning to be honest! But hey, it was a better chance than nothing! On our way back we met a guy who worked for channel 2 as well! The other party we got invited to donated $25 dollars and a whole bunch of jello shots, plus a good hour of fun! We also had 3 girls who work for a Auckland Lesbian Magazine donate $20 and post flyers for us at their work. It helped our spirits rise.
