And -- as always -- it's all about the Bridge Kids. Really.

We recall the year when Eddie Vedder said at the Bridge concert: "The kids are the teachers. We are the students."

Great to see everyone and hope to see you again next year at the 30th Annual. Thanks to Hounds That Howell for photo support!

peace & love,

ps - As you may know, Facebook has suspended our account claiming that we are not a "real person". But sooner or later, it all gets real. So, walk on.
