I have some humble pie to eat. When invited, I cannot say that I was too excited about attending last night's fete at Alys Beach. I have had a brief tour and love the architecture and like what they are trying to do with the development. All of the staff whom I have met, most whom I already know, are delightful cups of tea. I knew they would be funn and because of them, I was less reluctant to attend. In fact, I was going mostly in support of them. What I found when I arrived was very impressive, unlike anything else from the western border of Florida to ... I don't know where, but a long way. Alys Beach will be THE place to be. I look forward to seeing it come out of the ground. Seeing one of our local photographers there, I thought I would do all of the wonderful photographic opportunities more justiss by leaving my camera in my pocket. I know I couldn't capture that which I wanted to capture. Thanks to Abe Drinkin et al for twisting my arm, and thanks to all of you resonsible for hosting a great party. 😀 :wub:
Thank you to Alys Beach for putting on such a grande event. All involved, are to be commended. Karen, Niki Andre and her band were moving. Here is a link to last night's videos on [nomedia]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrIw4_AkoQw[/nomedia] [nomedia]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdv9NAVDkIA[/nomedia]-- more on the way. Sorryf for the delay between audio and video -- I hate that. John R, nicely done :clap_1:. I am impressed as much as I thought I would be. Christian, Snooky, Kendall, Kelly, Lauren, et al, OUTSTANDING!!! :clap_1: Merrianne and Erik, you have the architectural skills!!! Your house impressed me the most. I want it on my lot!
I think Jason Comer and EBSCO, Inc are very lucky to have such wonderful people working with them. Without you guys, I wonder if Alys Beach would be Alys Beach.
