This looks amazing to me! Are there any other dates? My b-day is may 28 so trying to plan accordingly ;) hahaha
If not, then I think lets lock it in, get the press release ready, pick out your favorite top 3 photos of the venue, add to the press release and lets launch it this coming monday, july 13!
