Grand Opening of The Nest

February 17th, 2008 · No Comments

Susan and Raymond have created a wonderful little retreat and spa on Royder Rd (on the right side just before you get to the turn for 7F) called The Nest.

was invited to The Nest’s Grand Opening, so I offered to shoot the event for her.

The Nest
In celebration we share; in each other, we care.

The Nest
The alpacas were wonderful to meet and to greet!
The Nest
The Nest
Even when “stuffed” they have coats all a fluff!
The Nest
Their coat, when spun, makes dressing for winter fun!
The Nest

Door prizes galore, from lots of local stores!
The Nest
Susan is greeting; all about she is fleeting!
The Nest
The Nest
Handwriting analysis a popular “psychoanalysis”…
The Nest
…and the food! oh my! Everything I must try!
The Nest
Susan, a great hostess, didn’t forget! She gave favors to all of the guests
The Nest
A firepit was built in memory of one…
The Nest
…and our weatherman, Bob French, a few songs he had sung.
The Nest
A spa blessing like none that you’ve ever seen…
The Nest
…and the firepit dedication was a tear-jerking scene!
The Nest
Of course, it’s not a party until something gets broken
The Nest
The Nest
New friends to love, and a bond that’s unspoken
The Nest
It all come packaged in this place truly blessed
The Nest
The Nest
This woman and her hero? They offer The Nest!

Refresh BCS: Google speaks

June 27th, 2007 · No Comments

Tonight’s RefreshBCS(.org) meeting at the Varisco building in historic downtown Bryan (and new home to the Creative Space) was a HUGE hit!
About 150 people attended to hear a speaker from Google.

Over 100 attendees
huge turnout

Roby & Cody put on a good show
Roby Fitzhenry (of 372Media) and Cody Marx Bailey co-hosted the event on behalf of RefreshBCS
SquareOne and 372Media(.com) provided an excellent meal.
Catering by Square One Bistro in historic downtown Bryan, Texas (c)2007 www.AsYouWishBCS.com
Molly (of SquareOne) served everyone with a smile.

As You Wish provided some gratis photography of the event. You can see all the photos in an online gallery.
Google has some amazing products for all types of consumers and all sizes of businesses. Their vision for how the Internet should be and how it should be intertwined with our own machines is amazing. I can’t wait to see what they come up with, next.

Google's presenter
Google was kind enough to send a presenter!

Bonus was getting to see so many of our friends: Dennis, Jessica, Mike & Tom, Glen & Michael, Roby, Molly & Travis, Cody, Brad, several aquaintances, and make new ones, too! (Hi, Lauren!)

Kudos Refresh! What an amazing opportunity! What a great event!
