GPM Reunion

It was fantastic to have the chance to relax and decompress while spending time with some pretty amazing people. Unfortunately, torrential rains limited some of the activities, but it would take a lot more than that to dampen everyone's spirits. There's never enough time to catch up with all the people you would like to, that's for sure. There's no way to give enough thanks to BJ and Sonia and everyone else that helped pull it off. I can only imagine how much work it was. There are lots of pictures here and many comments at the GPM guest book. Probably the highlight of the weekend was the no-talent contests emceed by Naneki. She was great! It's remarkable how much talent there is around. Collective Vision was able to round out the evening playing well into the night on Saturday. Beautiful. I took great comfort in the next generation and how well they all seemed to get along. I also particularly enjoyed playing a little wiffle ball and watching Canyon McWilliams strike out his older brother Arden with his 'cross-eyed' pitch. In the end the real joy was re-connecting with so many people and making new connections.
