So yeah, let’s talk about attention to detail yet again. Before Maddie and Pat picked me up on Saturday afternoon to head over to the festival, I was checking social media and saw one of my favorite local restaurants post a photo with a witty caption in regards to the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon. I liked the post (which soon won’t matter), laughed, and thought nothing of it. Then in the car, only a couple blocks from my house near 46th Street we see traffic backed up to a stop. Then we see people running, orange cones, police traffic, and more taillights. Then it hit me, the marathon course probably extends this far north of downtown. We were supposed to be there by about 11:45am, and what normally is a 10 minute drive, soon became almost an hour of us sitting in traffic laughing that this would happen to us. So yeah, the take away message is that sometimes it takes an hour to drive 3 miles and you need to prepare for that. Even leaving at 11:15, we were still late. So late in fact, that we missed the decision for our group to join in the festival parade as opposed to us perform on stage as volunteers. We walked in right as the group was beginning to walk throughout the venue, and could not help but feel horrible. Thankfully, all went to plan and the group had enough people that the parade looked great regardless, and the real pros representing the IACA on stage did great as well. We talked with Kwan, one of our lead organizers, and he was very understanding which was greatly appreciated. Also, it was really cool to actually talk to some of the kids in our class that we never really interact with, and you see per usual, everyone is kind of in the same boat. It ended up being fun, and we still got to be a part of the bigger group, so no harm no foul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
