Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of attending and enjoying an event held at the new Coleman Place event center here in Asheville. Monroe, Julie, and Heidi all did a wonderful job of coordinating the event...and were gracious enough to invite me along to be a part of it. I had just arrived back in Asheville from a wedding in Florida (images from that posted here soon) and was tired, but had a great time! Here are a couple of quick shots I grabbed that night with my point and shoot...

My friend Tara and I



Braidstream



Tara's table (I forgot to take a picture of my own table...anyone else get one?)



My friend Parker and I hung out most of the evening















Stacey from the Bloom Room and Liz from the Purple Iris





Maria from Claxton Farms and I



Monroe from Homewood and Coleman Place talking with Stacey







Then later in the lobby.....Segways! Man, I gotta get me one of these!



and as the night of fun concluded I found myself the subject of being "Parkered"...the Asheville equivalent of being Punked, I guess. Parker thought it would be fun to plaster my car with his business cards...all the way around! Thanks, buddy! You'd better keep an eye out for some payback.
