Ellis Paul Discussion

Folks,

One of the folks who attended the EP Weekend in Vermont last August, Annette, had a birthday this past Sunday. Her husband surprised her with an Ellis Paul concert. What a gift!

Anyway, Annette shared this link that includes a few pictures from her special celebration:

Ellis Paul - March 8, 2009

Thanks for sharing Annette!

So be jealous - it was SUCH a treat to see Ellis in the same kind of private venue that made Vermont so amazing!!! I got spoiled in Vermont, though - didn't he play for, like, 4 hours each night???

You know what was really special about this performance (in addition to the over-the-top coolness of having a BIRTHDAY concert in your own home)? Though there were some of us that know Ellis' talent and have seen him in concert before, but the vast majority of the folks at Annette's house didn't know him. Never heard of him. Had no clue.

It was so special to see those people get converted. Mouths hanging open slightly as he painted new pictures for them. Eyes closing, heads bobbing to the music. I spent half the time watching and listening to Ellis and half the time observing a roomful of new fans being born. It was really awesome (in the pure sense of the word!).

So inspiring, in fact, that I just booked tickets for some uninitiated friends to see Ellis' Mansion concert in April!

Thanks, Annette, for such an amazing experience!!!

Margaret,

Thanks so much for chiming in! So nice to hear from you! Have fun at The Mansion and please report back if you can. (I haven't been to a show since New Year's Eve so I'm in major withdrawal.)

Annette,

Thanks so much for sharing those photos from your special birthday present festivities.....

What a nice idea for a present.....I'd say he's a keeper!!!

WOW!!! If anyone would like to hook up a show for me, feel free... I will give you my addy and make sure we have an awesome bbq...

(of course I know it won't happen, but it's nice to dream!)
