super fun !!!
super fun !! Melissa and I did our usual pre-carpet drink at the Omni [margarita and a cosmopolitan ] . It's an FG tradition since back in the "Marnie" days . In typical fg style we cut the deadline close and scooted onto the red carpet at the last second . No directors chairs this year. Wa-Wah . But it was toasty warm with the propane hobo heaters fired up and I had a fabulous long "bob barker" mic [thanks Steve] which more than made up for the chairs . Dylan [who was responsible for the missing seats , graciously apologized and defended himself by saying "I would have gotten them but I was swamped with other duties since Dan decided to have the CEAs at a haunted house. "] The Emery was cozy and smelled like a carnival . hot waffles in the house . It was quite an undertaking to pull off an awards production in an ancient theatre with no electricity and no plumbing !! Congrat to Citybeat and Dan McCabe for having the grass roots approach and tenacity to pull it off and make it festive !!! Hopefully the ceas created awareness that we NEED a theatre with the size and history of the Emery ! I would love to go take a tour of it empty to really get the vibe of the place . I wonder if it IS haunted ? The CEAs are always one of THE most fun nights of the year and this year was no exception . It's a celebration of this town and OUR music scene bringing together diverse genres and unifying our music traditions and our future.
the Fairmount Girls are proud to be included and in our own small way we like to think we add to the festivities and the local music scene .
love,
the fg's
