urbpanFirst of all, thanks so much for your donations! I'm sorry I had to post a nagging followup to the first post, but I was getting nervous. Our fund raising is going quite well!
Second, Dan is still rocking in his chair as I type this. Right about now he should be doing storytelling for the kids, which, considering his sleep-deprived state when I saw him at 3 in the morning, should be entertaining. If you are in the area, you should go in to the zoo and see him. It's a nice day in Boston, and it's plenty warm in the Tropical Forest exhibit. They scatter food for the gorillas at 2 p.m. (which is when Dan gets to get out of the chair for good).
If you can't make it, here are some pictures of the event as I saw it:
2 p.m. yesterday, Dan begins to rock.
Dan continues to rock, which bores the gorillas pretty fast.
(The Herald got a pretty good shot of Dan with our oldest gorilla, Gigi.)
Kimani, the 5 year old gorilla, comes over to see what all the fuss is.
Ten hours later, when I visited at midnight, Dan was still rocking.
When Dan took his first(!) bathroom break, fellow zookeeper Jackie kept the chair rocking.
Then Ed and Ashley arrived, and it was time to really rock (not really, but you know).
Dan rocks in the chair while Jackie rocks the drums.
Another guest arrives. He's no good on the drums, but his telepathy helps us sort out some technical difficulties.
After some coaxing, Dan rocks out as he rocks! (Linkin Park)
A rocking time was had!
