Goodnight, Irene!

September 1, 2011

This last weekend was quite extraordinary.  And in the most unusual way you can imagine.  Most of the east coast was suffering through hurricane Irene, getting pounded, flooded, made homeless.  We felt the swirling effects of it, although not nearly as bad.  We were out at Promentory Point on Lake Michigan.  It's a small building less than 100 feet from the lake, with great views of the skyline and the lake.  On a clear day you can probably even see into Michigan.  Anyway, we strung lights across the east patio, to create a faux roof.  During set-up the wind was blowing pretty heavily from the north.  We were concerned how well things would survive.  Would we return at the end of the evening to find the patio in shambles.  After set-up chatted with the dj, Monestero Entertainment.  The wind was knocking everything around.  It was a long night worrying about whether the event would be swept away.  We were quite pleased when we returned and everything was still standing.  The patio was wet with spray from the lake, and the winds hadn't lett up, but we were still there.  Here's a few pictures from the event.  Promontory Point.
