Just Another Day at Pursuant Studios

kerristarr | Aug 20 2009

This post can be filed under “unofficial Pursuant blog posts,” but I know the password, so I’m posting it. Today I had one of those life moments, that’s what I call them, those moments when I’m more aware than usual and I know I’ll remember the feel of it forever. Maybe it wasn’t that significant in the grand scheme of things, but it made me stop for just a second and be grateful for my circumstances.

It just so happens that a number of people that work here at Pursuant have banded together to organize an event that raises support toward finding a cure for Cystic Fibrosis. It’s called the CF Concert Series and it takes place every November at the Granada Theater in Dallas. Today we shot the promo video for the website and had Rhett Miller of the Old 97’s, who will be headlining the event (get to know his music if you don’t) in the studio to film the invite. He brought his guitar and sang a sweet song that he wrote one day after he heard his little girl singing to herself “Sometimes, sometimes,” (the song is called Sometimes and is track 12 on his recent solo album titled, Rhett Miller).

At work, sitting in the studio surrounded by friends and listening to Rhett sing, I felt very, very glad to be in that moment at that time.

It makes me think about what we do at Pursuant, what our clients do every single day. Not one of those people gained anything monetary or tangible from that moment. Somebody, somewhere down the line will someday benefit from all the small contributions that will go into creating one significant night that will change something for the good. That’s it really. That’s what we do. Aren’t we lucky?

“Sometimes, sometimes, the only thing you have is a song.
And in these times, in these times, in these lonely, lonely times, I will sing along
.” – Rhett Miller
