This past Saturday, November 13, 2010, St. Tammany Humane Society held their first annual Unleashed Bash on the Bayou charity event in Louisiana. Although I wasn't able to attend personally (unless you count being there in spirit), my very dear friend and partner in crime Romancia (@romancialove) was able to give fans all around the world the best seats in the house all from the comforts of their homes via USTREAM live.
Attendees of this event were able to mix and mingle with none other than Mr. Ian Somerhalder himself. Yes, go ahead and fan yourselves if you need to. And as if that wasn't great enough in itself, about 40 generous people who donated $1,000 each were granted exclusive access to a champagne reception where they were able to get even more up close and personal with Ian. Mr. Somerhalder was gracious enough to come up to Romancia's computer that she had set up with USTREAM to tell all of his fans hello, and yes, there was a kiss blown. *dies at the thought* I admittedly did not catch it at first because I was busy moderating the USTREAM chat itself, but when I saw the video, OMP (oh my Potter)!!
During the main event Vaughn, the Executive Director of St. Tammany, introduced Ruthie (@tvdfansonline), to present the AH-MAZE-ING amount of money that you, the fans donated to Natalie's (@xVampDiariesx) Ian Somerhalder Birthday Project. The expression on Ian's face said it all, his fans are THE BEST!
The sole purpose for this event was to raise money so that St. Tammany Humane can continue to help the abandoned animals that they bring to their shelter. Please check out their site www.sttammanyhumanesociety.org to learn more about this amazing organization.
I have included some pictures and video courtesy of Romancia so be sure to check them out below. I know all that attended had one of the best days of their lives, and I can't wait to join you all next year at the 2nd annual Unleashed Bash on the Bayou November 12, 2011!!!
And do keep an eye out for more information on this event.
