I had the fun and rare opportunity to meet one of my favorite fellow bloggers last week.
Lisa from That's Why, formerly of Politits, invited my husband Scott to perform at a conference she was organizing for her company. I was so excited that she thought of him and asked him to play.
Last Thursday night we drove up to Hiawassee, which is, by the way, just gorgeous. I want to go back. But, I digress... We drove up there to The Ridges Resort where Lisa's conference was being held and Scott played in the Lakeside Pavilion overlooking Lake Chatuge during dinner and drinks. It was a lot of fun. And apparently, the attendees and other organizers were pleased. I thought he played a very relaxed and intimate set. Very nice.
We really had a great time. We met a real interesting fellow named Mike Purcell who turned out to be a session player, among several other things. He and Scott played together for a bit when Scott was finished performing.
Like I said, it was a fun night. The best part, aside from hearing my honey-boy play was meeting Lisa in person. She's as beautiful and charming and funny in person as she is in writing. I originally found her blog a couple of years ago, or so, after reading her insightful and bellylaugh-inducing comments and observations on another blog that we both read. I soon added her to my blogroll and the rest, as they say, is herstory.
If you visit her blog, you can see a video Lisa shot of Scott performing that night. Check it out.

Dawn, it was such a pleasure meeting you and Scott. I can't wait to see him play again sometime and to visit with you!
I'm glad that you guys got to meet Mike. He's a multi-talented guy and it was very cool of Scott to let Mike play his guitar. I enjoyed seeing the two of them play together.
Thank you again for coming up to the mountains and for this gorgeous post about the evening. I hope to see you again soon.
