Scene from last night's finale. Very sweet evening, filled with... Wait for it...

Music!

When all was said and done, there was a bunch of hugging and congrats wrapping up a solid 9 months of hard work to pull off this multi- day festival.

For me, it was a weekend of good hard work. And a time to solidify my reputation as someone who does just that. But the really sweet part of the time here was boosting the level of several friendships with people I adore here in VA. Several good solid moments feeling like I was in my zone. And now we are up at the crack taking Kelly's guy Steve to the airport in Norfolk so he can do a work thing in Las Vegas. Which leaves Kelly and I to do our best Thelma and Louise for the next few days.
