Secret Songs Snaps!

Last night's PostSecret Secret Songs reception, I think, was one of the best Yeiser parties ever. I'm a little biased, of course, because I'm awfully fond of that DJ Urban Kobbb. DJUK set the tone with his sexy lounge music... Board member Susan Gaffney-Evans' urban tablescape added an extra urban edge to the event... And lots-o-super cute folks came to view the hundreds of postcards on display... Hottie Gabe Camacho (above) of the Paducah Writers Group arranged for local musicians, like Mike Capone, to perform. The musicians were incredible. Each selected a particular postcard — or grouping of cards — and wrote original songs to reflect the cards' secrets. I wanna get MP3s of the songs, match 'em up to the postcards and publish them on iList Paducah. I bet PostSecret creator Frank Warren would love it — and I also think the folks who wrote the inspiring postcards would be blown away to hear the musical interpretations of their secrets. It was so touching to hear the musicians talk about the cards they selected and why. Congratulations, Landee Bryant, Gabe, all the musicians and all the festive party goers. This was Landee's last official Yeiser event, now that she's the director of Maiden Alley Cinema. What a way to wrap up her fantastic contributions to the Yeiser!
