Focus on Eileen Beirne, Princeton Megathon veteran.

Eileen Beirne appeared at the Princeton TV studio early in 2008, her steady soul a welcome presence in the energy vortex. Eileen's quiet smile magically added a serenity to the 2008 Megathon. Both poet and photographer, she toiled long shifts behind the camera, and even made a rare on camera appearance as well. We asked Eileen about her favorite Megathon 2008 moments.

"Watching Fahad in the throes of sleep deprivation dancing wildly within his cape, by himself out in the hallway 25 hours into it. Not feeling my left leg after 3 hours behind the camera. Anything Tom Florek does in front of the camera. Watching humble diplomatic and knowledgeable George always guiding behind the scenes. The changing flux and flow of new faces around the clock. The champagne at New Years finish to a program launch knocked together with great success by a dedicated band of techies, nerds, communications majors, and rag-tag volunteers."

Eileen, we know it was madness - and we're thrilled you're going to be part of the 2009 Megathon on May 15.
