On Thursday, July 3, 2008 at 2:15PM, I will be donating blood for the first time in my life.

This is completely motivated by Michelle Greer’s poking and prodding (pun intended) over her idea of organizing a blood drive via Twitter, the social messaging network. Read her blog post about the entire thing and get over your fear of needles like I did. Just get over it. I’m most likely going to pass out, but it doesn’t matter. Michelle will be there to hold my hand. Or David Neff. Or Mike Chapman.

See you there.
