It was a privilege to be a part of it.  Also, great thanks to Abla Doku with Eventstagers for organizing such a great party and TriVision Studio for the beautiful space.  With Abla Doku The Core The Core The Core Unchain Unchain UnchainWith Apoorva McIntosh

Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and we also celebrated our beautiful dancer Lindsay Benson Garrett’s birthday.  It was a true double happiness.  What a very special day for all of us at GDC.  Today as we celebrate Lindsay’s birthday, we remember the fond memories we all shared one year ago today.
