Lookin' good!  Wild Horse!  Panda Bear!  Pygmy Rabbit! Lion! I like what I've been seeing, let's get fancy with our decoration and have an impressive "Wall of Shame" when we are done, ok?  These animals deserve the attention, and an end to their destruction!

Tonight was the screening, it was awesome, and really cool to see the roadies speak and ask questions after the film.  I bought a lot of goodies, and it feels good to support the movement. If you would like to do the same, visit the site, and get your own Invisible Children gear!  http://store.invisiblechildren.com/ I got these: the bag is rad because it is made by a ugandan person directly affected by the war, it creates a job or opportunity for that person to recover and create income for themselves more info here! Who Made Your Bag? from INVISIBLE CHILDREN on Vimeo . and this shirt came with a DVD of the documentary, as a part of the TRI donation program (where you donate $30 a month until the war is over in Africa!) Show your support :) -Miss G
