Rachael Short’s Fundraiser

First, let me commend River Inn for an excellent job. It was all well organized, on short notice, and it all went incredibly smoothly. The entire staff was well prepared and the service and food were excellent. In my 25 years of patronizing the River Inn, I have never seen so many people fit inside the restaurant! To me, it epitomized the best of Big Sur.

The Crowd

Through the Front Window

And last but not least – something a bit different. I don’t like flash, and the lighting conditions in the restaurant were great for dinner, conversation, and overall coziness, but not ideal for photographing without a flash, so I experimented with this one.

The MC

Sorry it took so long, but today’s internet connection was very uncooperative. Starting tomorrow, it will be storm tracking. There is still a possibility of snow up here on Sunday, which, if it occurs, may impact my ability to get to the Celebration for Seanan Moses on Sunday.
