The Journey is Ending...

Greetings, my sweet Gishwheshean Adventurers,
Our journey nears the end so I share tidings from you know who and advice and musings from you know why.
Item 30, I'm told was a roaring Gishwheshean good time: a gaggle of Gishwhesheans, bubbling pizza, a guitaring minstrel, the usual gremlins destroying our electronics, popsicle stick monuments to rival man's greatest structural achievements, and... Mr. Collins. He did tell me he was moved and inspired with how many people came, impressed with your teamwork, and utterly confused by what you managed to build. He also mentioned there were "a few raindrops" but that this moisture "probably kept them cool since they were working so hard." He was thrilled to see some that he had met before and to meet many new Gishfriends. I saw some of the pictures. You all deserve a warm towel and a heaping portion of some of your sanity back.
I'm looking at the pledge counter right now and it appears we have surpassed the bar for breaking a world record. How exciting! We can hang this record next to our other one. Soon we will need a new wall. Now that we've reached the world record, let's not slow down, however, until we hit 100,000. It's our objective... and Gishwhesheans deliver. So, deliver. And I want extra cheese and olives on mine.
Flags, cards, voicemails, Grand Prize, etc. - someone shall email you all this week during the Gishwhes hangover to go over the timing of those and a few of the administrative issues. I simply can't go into all that right now... Gishwhes is not over and I want to bask in every moment that it IS.
Acts of Kindness Videos. Thank you. We have received many more in the last 24 hours and they are especially moving. You all are wondrous spirits (if not slightly twisted in the head-thankfully) and you should be proud of what you're doing to "kind" the world.
Items. Fantasticulabulous. So much art. So much passion. So much enthusiasm. So much creativity. So much cheese...
And so, as with all things that are too magical, fun and real and right for our daily reality, Gishwhes can always only be fleeting and soon must fade back into its sublime darkness... but until then, squeeze it for everything it's worth.
And remember, although the Gishwhes Hunt may only come but once a year, you can always drop into the Gishwhes dimension. Throw on your kitchenware chain-mail, jump into your home-made vehicle capable of adventure and mayhem and go attack normalcy: befriend the unique and different, believe yourself to be a unique and necessary artist (for we all are), and find that silver kale lining in the dark clouds and make wondrous, beautiful, life-changing art with it.
Happy Hunting, Gishwhesheans.
I am and always shall be your Lady of Art, Creativity and Kale,
Miss Jean Louis
