On September 11, 2002, the first anniversary of the terrorist attacks, we organized a gathering called Frozen Tears. We wanted to remember the tragedies of 9/11 - and the tragedies of our government's response. We reject the violence of terrorism. We reject the violence of war.

In 1985, a nurse informed Patrick Scully that he was HIV-positive, adding that, “You don’t have to tell anyone right away—it could be three or even five years before you have full-blown AIDS.”

Thrive! Celebrates being very much alive, 25 years later, and remembers the many we’ve lost. From world events to deeply personal experiences, Patrick takes his audience through two and a half decades of memories and shared history. Thrive! is a free-range narrative—meant for everyone who has been touched by HIV/AIDS and for everyone who hasn’t—told by a consummate storyteller.
