It's funny: my one-year Flagiversary is ALMOST as long as I had to wait for the rescheduled Philly show!! LOLOL
Anyway, it was a great day, even though I was wound up pretty tightly (right, Bets?)
I thought you might enjoy this little "Flag Duty Checklist" that I sent to DM the day before the show to show her that I was prepped and ready.
I can't believe it's been a whole year. I miss you guys...
