This is the final boarding call for Simple Man Cruise 2009
January 8, 2009posted by Melissa | View Comments
Here we are in Miami the night before setting sail on our first event of 2009, Simple Man Cruise! By tomorrow AM when you’re reading this, we (all 2500 of us) will be setting sail for five days with the intention of making 2500 once in a life time moments to carry us through the rest of the year after we get back. We did have a little kick start to the craziness tonight at the annual Simple Man Pre-Party. Not even a little rain showers could spoil the fun! The gang just picked up and settled inside. Heather Luttrell and her Pops opened the floodgates of all the music to come with a show that has set the tone for the next few days. The guest’s reconnections were being made across the room and the conversations didn’t skip a beat as everyone picked up where they left off at the end of the 2008 cruise. Newcomers were welcomed with open arms and were quickly filled in on what exactly they’re getting themselves into.
Speaking of first timers – I ran into Atlanta’s Gareth Asher who will be joining the roster of Simple Man artists for the first time this year. He had a few words to share with everyone – “Hello to all you simple people out there…Gareth Asher here live from the pre-party. The drinks are flowing, the energy is elevating, and the sweet sound of Heather Luttrell is filling the air. This is the only place to be!! Much Love and Bon Voyage!”
What a day! It’s now off to bed for us all, early bus call to the port. I hope everyone is having a very happy start to his or her New Years and I look forward to sharing some experiences with you over the next few months. Be sure to check the daily blog for updates from the Sixthman staff, event artists and their teams while we’re onboard. We’ll do our best to keep you in the loop with all of the happenings!

P.S. Will Byington, our infamous event photographer, was able to capture a few shots from the Pre-Party that will hopefully convey all of the excitement that was milling about. Here are a few to hold you over until we get them all loaded when we get back on land:
