Do you like bats?

Bats need your help!  As you may be aware, bats have been dying by the thousands in the northeastern US of what has been called White Nose Syndrome.  Researchers are making some good inroads into figuring this out, but government help will be needed to put that research into action.  Behind the cut is a letter provided by Bat Conservation International that can be sent to your congressperson and senators.  They generally have contact forms on their websites, making sending the letter very easy.  White Nose Syndrome has been spreading fairly dramatically every year as bats from sick colonies migrate during the spring/fall and mingle with bats from previously healthy colonies.  Already entire colonies have been lost.  Anyway, please help bats.  They helped you look cool through your goth phase (and perhaps still do), the least you can do is help them survive.

Ranya Renee tomorrow!  Ieeeeeee!!!!!!!!  Getting there and back has become a bit of a three ring circus, due to it being a bit further away than any of us thought (Connecticut is big!), but we will do it and be happy about it.  Nervous about performing at the show following, but less so after presenting one of the songs I'll be dancing to in Amira Jamal's class last night.  I've got stuff to work on but I'm doing the right things with the music, was the general feedback.  So yay.  The biggest challenge really will be getting enough sleep tonight!
