A few years ago I vowed to have an fantastic 11/11/11 celebration. I saved a piece of paper with a stunning display at the now defunct Tavern on the Green in NYC, because it seemed the ideal place to host such a thing.
I could get lost in those photos. Something about them is absolutely magical, like stepping into another world.
But since Ronnie informed me that 12/31/09 was Tavern on the Green’s final night, I will have to find a new location. The other day I came across this photo which made me feel a bit better about the challenge. I would actually love to replicate a scene like this in my back yard, and I think it’s entirely possible.
11/11/11 is saved! Or at least now carries with it a new possibility.
