CCMAEM retreat at arroyo grande - part 1

Attendees: Nicki, Melissa, Gerda, Robin, Doris, Luis

Thank you Melissa and Nicki for a seamless, fun, productive, convivial, crucial, brilliant Public Address weekend in the gorgeous home, studio (also known as Carriage House Studios), winery and beach of Nicki in the gorgeous undiscovered gem of roostery Arroyo Grande.  Those of you who were not there, you truly missed out - those of you who partook - will long remember the hospitality, beauty, comforts, views, excellence of presentation, tastes, flowers, drive, Genius - (Mel's performance) and hilarity that ensued - bonding us all and reasserting the intensely high caliber of artists in Public Address - who will and are bound and determined to make the CCCAEM show a real blockbuster.

It is a  l o n g drive up there, but carpooling extended the bonding into that of three or four roadtrips.  The drive is a beauty, a wonderful part of the experience.
