A beautiful evening at Harborview Place. The Nantucket Film Festival is underway. The venue for this cocktail party could not have been nicer. We ate and drank on the lawn of this beautiful resort overlooking the harbor (hence the name) right in downtown Nantucket. Ben Stiller and Brian Williams were there but I found these two irresistible so I had to take their photo. The mood was very much like the festival with which I am most familiar...Sarasota's. In addition to food and wine and Stella Artois beer, I got to meet many old time residents who support the arts. Nantucket is a seasonal tourist destination (no more whaling ships come in and out of port these days) which draws visitors mostly in the months of July, August, and September. They schedule events like this one to stretch out their season into June and September, as if the fantastic cool weather this month would not be enough. There is a Wine Festival and a Comedy Festival. Spending a summer here reminds me very much of Aspen, Colorado. You can just hang out, ride a bike, take a hike, catch a fish...or you can immerse yourself in the arts. There are art classes, dance classes, music groups, and of course festivals like these. "Y'all come up, y'heah."
