Introversion: Planning a parade is hard. I have to confront head on my own fear of talking. When I present the parade to people I want to seem authentic. Maybe its because I am afraid of how this project is to some extent out of my control- I have to believe that people will show up and make stuff. The thing that is hard to explain to people is how moving being in a parade can be, the sense of connection to the other people walking, the shared joy, but it sounds cheesy I think to mention that. Nonetheless, I will do my best. The role I play is getting the word out and spreading enthusiasm.
