So much is coming up, hard to keep up ! I wanted to share some of the fabulous events around town.

As I have mentioned many times, The Ayuda for the Arts Gala is on November 9th, 2009

Yesterday we had the most amazing day, super sunny, semi-warm breeze, ok it was pretty cold… but the guest braved the weather to see our couple Shung and David tie the knot in the beautiful Linden Terrace of Fort Tryon Park. Their reception immediately followed at the New Leaf Cafe with cocktails in the main dining room and dinner and dancing in the tented area outside. By far one of the happiest groomsmen I have seen to date. They were so genuinely happy for their friend they spent the night singing sings, slinging jokes and by the end of the night propping each other up . All in all it was a great day ! Below are some pics I was able to grab while we were running around, can’t wait to see what Jeff of Jeffrey Lau Photo sends me.
