The Ecoball, the first annual, and fundraiser for Baltimore Green Works. Part of the new and improved, we did our best to bring food, fun, friends and music to the greener Baltimoreans. Christina and I did the bulk of the work and it all came off as if it was an effortless convergence of goodness and light.
My first goal for the eco-fete was to secure a cake by Baltimore's celeb baker, Duff Goldman from Charm City Cakes. We did. The theme was simple, seeds - dirt - growth - flower. We had a rough sketch, but Sarah came through with the perfect illustration, and voila. It was great. (It ended with perfection predicted, they filmed an episode of the show at the party.)
Great outfit! Beth Fairall's "Project Greenway" students fashioned outfits for viewing and a lovely Financial Times, Wall Street Journal Pink skirt for me. I can't say enough about it. I couldn't have dreamed of a more perfect outfit. More perfection.
The day of, we had a great crowd of friends help us get ready. Christina, Sarah, Susan, Daniel, Nayeli, and Laura, all came in and got us set up with more than enough time to primp for the party. Then we waited for the people to come.
They came. So did the Gillerns, the Collins, the Perry's, K. Martz-Riska, Dr. Johnston, Nurse Cooper, Ms. Fuller, Eddie the human megaphone and Lisa, Kate, the Posko's, Susan and Jenny, Ron and Natalie, and lots more great friends.
I am grateful for my friends who supported us and our first big night.
It was simple, it was overwhelming, it was perfect.
