OK, let’s see if I can jog your memory a little. The first Purple Party at Duke was in 2008.(We have been there two other times since then)It was a Buffet lunch at a sports bar in the Historic. American Tobacco District, a converted former tobacco factory. You must admit that I have found some interesting places for parties. The hurricane was approaching and I had everyone’s game tickets, for a ticket block of about 65, so I had to get there or else. The hurricane was projected to be between Florida and North Carolina On Friday morning, and Glades and I were afraid we would not be able to get out of South Florida for our scheduled flight Friday morning, so almost at the last minute we flew in a day earlier, resulting in being dismantled by the TSA people, but that’s another story.
Now, the reason that people were missing in that photo -as we were leaving the restaurant, there was sort of an artificial stream in front of the restaurant with some very neat looking large rocks on it. I thought that would be a great place for a picture, a couple of people managed to have cameras, but about half of the people had already left. There were only about 20 of us left and pretty much everyone climbed on the rocks to take a picture. I forgot who actually photographed it. Again, I think I have the photo on photo bucket if I can still find it.Sound at all familiar?

PS you might not realize what it is like trying to plan events when you cannot actually see the venue for yourself and you have actually never even visited the city, but that has been a little bit of the fun and challenge of it all. This is one occasion when I had really no idea what the place looked like, and I was very pleasantly surprised
