Radio Paradise

Quick drop in to follow-up on all the spam about the Hotel Carolina music fest (which took place neither in a hotel named Carolina nor a hotel in Carolina). It was the first time the organizers tried something quite like this so there were some definite ups and downs. The biggest positive was that the music and artists couldn't have been more mellow and fun and genuine and all the things you hope for from a laid back fest like this. Also on the positive side - our hotel room looked like this:

These are NOT promotional photos, they are photos I took myself of the room. Yes it was incredibly groovy. And the rest of the hotel, common areas, and grounds were just as surftastic. The stage was set-up in the pool area so you could swim all day and listen to music, then break for dinner, and come back at night to relax on the pool lounge chairs, look at the stars, and listen to more music. The setting and substance couldn't have been better. The big downer was that NO ONE WAS THERE. I guess the other events this group has put on have always sold out from word of mouth. So almost no effort was put into marketing. It made for a fabulously intimate setting but I couldn't help but feel a little bad for the performers.

Last I checked there were plans to bring the Hotel Carolina experience to other locations around the country. If one comes your way, take a chance and go!

looks like a cool place

will check out next time in that area

glad you had fun {#Biggrin}

"Multiple people" were injured after a small plane crashed into an Orlando area Publix supermarket Monday evening, the Volusia County Sheriff's Office said.

"All customers were evacuated safely and all Publix associates are accounted for," Publix spokesman Dwaine Stevens said.

The store remained closed late Monday...

Yup, was all over the news last night/this morning.
