Giving Tree
2011-11-05 Tonight, my wife was kind enough to let me tag along to a charity fundraiser she was invited to. The money went to benefit a research team at UCSD studying a congenital heart disease called Jacobsen Syndrome. When folks donated a certain amount, they put a heart on one of the tags on the tree that showed what the money could actually cover. The event was pretty fun with a cool band, delicious hors d'oeuvres and an open bar. Oh yeah, one more thing - the whole event was on the How I Met Your Mother set at Fox studios and the cast was there! The open bar? Yeah, it was the MacLaren's set. I got a real drink from a fictional bar! And this thoughtful-looking, neatly-lit person is Neil Patrick Harris. Fun times, fun times. PS - Don't forget to change the time on your cameras for DST.
