Hello,
I am checking in. I have been on for a year now. I love getting the posts each day. I have a PI case open so I dont really write back much. But I am here!!! I am active in the RSD community- at least i try to be.
Last year I was an event coordinator for Comic Pain Relief 07. Well, it is back again this year. There are two this year actually, Wiseacres Comedy Club, July 18 in Tysons Corner, VA, and Tempe Center for the Arts, Tempe AZ on Dec. 4th. It is simular to last year but this year it includes dinner as a part of the price of the ticket. There is also going to be an award for a pain patient advocate given out at each event, which includes $200, 2 tickets to the show and an award presentation at the show for the pain patient who is chosen. Below are more detials.
Thanks for all of your stories and support. ~ Barby
