Sprinklers are lovely, but the company and laughs misery brings are forever.

I'm sure you can tell from the title how…lackluster and, well, depressing. I love Silverdocs, and the people of AFI---the incident that happened at the Closing Night Party 

@ the Discovery Buildings Sensory Garden…was all on Discovery. Cause…COME ON.

Well, here are some picks from the
amazing panel Youth Voices panel in Schooldocs on Saturday.

HOKAY. Now pictures of the Closing Night Party BEFORE the mess I shall not speak of…

That photo booth was EXTREMELY popular, and oh so fun!

The garden in relative peace BEFORE THE STORM.

It honestly was relatively nice.

A little artsy bokeh for ya.

And Discovery Channel's HQ is a gorgeous building…you remember
those Rooftop Party photos from last week?

It's a shame…I only had one sparkling wine and a vodka tonic by 11:30pm, then all the sprinklers went of and me and my friend felt like DYING.
DYING.

Ohhh, sexy camera man.

But ah well. The festival was great, the drinks were great, and the people I met/met up with were fantastic. I can't believe this was my last year working for Silverdocs,
but I'm kind of glad it is. Now next year they have to booze ME up and make me feel like the special snowflake I am.

On to the next event, shall we?

I don't have anything planned just yet---but don't you worry my lovelies.
I'll make sure you're taken care of.

xxoo

SILVERDOCS IS THE BEES KNEES.

Should I just let photos speak for themselves? Hm? Should I? Let's try it…

The Silverdocs International Conference Lobby in the Civic Building, Silver Spring, MD

DSLR Workshop Part 1 with Steve Bognar and Matt Gottshalk

Oh, A. J. Schnack. I am crushing on you so hard.

SO. HARD.

Hell, so is Ryan Harrington of the Tribeca Film Institute.

Some wonderful ladies from The Batala Pecussion Group. Some fierce, cute, fun chicks playing Afro-Brazilian drums + margaritas + Discovery Channel HQ's rooftop garden = ….

PERFECT STRESS RELIEVER.

Yummy food from Nando Peri Peri (just a few blocks--and floors, haha--away!).

What a cutie!

So far so good, no? I can't believe it's all done and gone on Saturday!
WHY?! DEAR GOD WHY CAN'T WE HAVE MORE TIME?!

….


Expect more updates as I go. Go to this link on Facebook for the full album (don't worry, it's public, but friend me if you like!), and I shall see you all soon!
