The Gold Crown Awards
There is no cooler spot on Earth to hold an awards ceremony, or a party, or to hold anything at all, than the Castle Green on South Raymond Avenue. This year the Pasadena Arts Council had an especially good reason for giving its annual Gold Crown Awards there -- this year the Golds were the Greens, for people who give a lot to the arts in the Pasadena area and who did it in a eco manner.
The awards went to David Brown of Descanso Gardens in Flintridge, Susanna Dadd and James Griffith of the Folly Bowl in Altadena, and the Mother's Club Family Learning Center in Pasadena.
In the photo below, that's David and Judy Brown; Annie and PAC board Chair Steve Nowlin; Susanna and James.
The bash was a blast, and Lightbringer's Tom Coston and Paddy Hurley and I conspired.
I did not see Miss Havisham, but she was surely there somewhere.
