Major kudos to you Michelle, and David Neff for being the ones to get out there and DO SOMETHING! I’d admire all the hard work, time, and energy you did over the last week, making it happen. You showed how putting words into action can truly have an impact.

And thanks to the people who couldn’t donate, but still showed up to give support and donated raffle prizes!!

Why are people so not afraid of drinking all night, which will give them a far more intense and longer laster pain than a few milliseconds of needle stick discomfort, but will totally turn down needles, which will save a life? There are three organs you can donate while still alive…kidney, bone marrow and blood. Guess which one is the quickest and easiest?

Without 38 people stepping to the plate and setting aside 10 minutes and a little nervousness, a woman would not have had the opportunity to see the silhouette of the Olympic Mountains in Washington State against the sunset for the first time, or relaxed in the cool summer evening enjoying some pretty decent baseball and going out with friends for a good time afterward. I know because I saw all of that happening, just last night, for Michelle’s sister and my girlfriend, Deb. We get to enjoy weeks of life together right now because a few dozen people committed a few minutes of selflessness.

You go, Michelle. Preach it.

[...] Michelle Greer, David Neff, Connie Reece, Omar Gallago, Kim Haynes, Snax have all blogged about this event. And all of them are on Twitter. Yes I’m donating blood, even though I’m getting really, really old, so you can too. Actually, I’m Barack Obama’s age, so if he can run for President, I think the least I can do is donate some blood at the tweetup. [...]

I can’t donate blood anymore because of autoimmune problems, and that’s one of the reasons I had the idea for a Tweetup Blood Drive in the first place. I have a couple of friends who have reached the 10-gallon mark as donors. GALLONS. All we’re asking for tomorrow is a pint. As you said, a few minutes of discomfort that can save someone’s life. It’s really not that difficult.
