Ashley recaps the Stand Up 2 Cancer event
After a long flight from Boston to L.A. early Friday morning, the day went by fast as the Stand Up 2 Cancer show was going to begin in just a few hours. After getting ready and heading to the Shrine Auditorium, I picked up my tickets and soon met up with PecanPie! It was great getting to talk to her again. Soon after, Mary Lou (Pastel) and Marge arrived! It was awesome getting to meet them!!
Eventually we took our seats and the show began. A lot of the stories shown were really sad but it made for an interesting feeling throughout the entire room as everyone watched these stories of people all going through the same thing, the thing that we were all here to stand up to and CRUSH. But it was really cool to see Justin Timberlake, Sofia Vergara and Robert Pattinson, to name a few, plus see Taylor Swift, Alicia Keys and Tim McGraw perform! It was also cool to see how a live show is done, and how quickly people have to move to keep it going.
Soon after, it ended and we met up with Mary Lou and Marge. We were all invited to a reception that Pecan would be speaking at afterward, so Mary Lou and Marge offered to bring us with them in their car so we would all be together. There was quite some confusion finding their hotel, but I didn’t mind because I got to see a lot more of L.A. that I originally wouldn’t have! lol
Finally we did make it to their hotel and hung out with them for a bit before taking a cab to the place where the reception was being held. It was a party with fancy food and swanky people, but I just liked getting to hang out with Pecan, Mary Lou and Marge. Then Dave Filice came! It was awesome getting to officially meet him and talk with him!
Then Pecan made her speech, and she did great. She talked about David and Crush Kids’ Cancer, then said little blurbs about each of us who were there and why we’re so dedicated to the team. I really liked how David and Crush Kids’ Cancer were still being celebrated that night, even though David isn‘t here.
The rest of the night seemed to fly by and eventually we took off back to our hotel. It was a great first time in L.A. and a really special event to have gone to. It was awesome getting to see Pecan again, and also meeting Mary Lou, Marge and Dave!! They’re all some of the nicest people I’ve ever met and it was so much fun getting to hang out with them all.
