The hands that see

I just love SSPing. I enjoy the deaf-blind community immensely. You meet the coolest folks, dbs, deafies and hearies. I was wrong I thought the AADB event was a camp but really its a convention, my bad. So lots of meetings, forums on various issues like Deaf-Blind employment, setting up SSP services, restoring vision via chip implants... very interesting, I am learning a lot. Plus I see many old faces from both NEADB (New England Association for Deaf-Blind) and Seaback (Sponsored by Seattle Light House for the Blind). I am thrilled, one of my friends from NEADB will be on the same cruise as me this fall where there will be approximately 400 deafies (or dbs) on board. Yay! The energy of the AADB had been very upbeat and everyone works well together.

I am tired but happy. I have been emailing the Guy back and forth some. Its all good, he will help me on Sunday with putting my things in storage and bringing the futon to Blondies place for her and Cain to use.

Had a short meeting with one producer who drove from VA to Townson U where I am staying to discuss my films and upcomming projects. It was a productive meeting, I am confident I can be "umbrella" under his non-profit organization which will help immensely with grants writing. Also he may be able to help me obtain a 3 ccd digital camera which I need badly and they cost an average of $2000 to $3000. I just know once I have one, Ill be filming a lot more, much to Baba's disapproval. But I can't help myself, its addictive filming. I have fallen in love with it!

Havent watch TV in days, its weird. But good, I need to watch less TV anyways. Am currently reading a book about the blind man who establish the seeing eye dog program here in America based on a program developed in Germany and Switzerland. Its a good read, I will add the title of the book later, dont have it with me while I am blogging :(

Been getting a lot of feedback about MICA, some good, some bad. Its hard for me to judge because I was a part of it, so I have a different perspective then those who attended.

Well I am off to bed, nighty night!
