A Very Lexie Weekend Leaves Us Smiling but Worn Out

Just got in from night II of AVERY LEXIE WEEKEND which was the Choice Awards and man we are bushed from great music, love, and lotsa hugs!

Sold more CDs, T-Shirts, and Arm Bands and the cool part is:

A couple hundred people now have A VERY LEXIE CD!!!! and are being turned on to 16 great lokal bands, more people will be walking around with Lexie Tees, and we pulled in another grand for Lexie’s Legacy which I believe puts us over $10,000 raised, halfway to the endowment with some great fundraisers of different proportions coming up to possibly include a walkathon, a cookbook, and dinner.

Our dear friend Scott Hudson came out as special sit-in for Major Deke Copenhaver and presented Jean and I with a special proclamation and framed document officially pronouncing it A VERY LEXIE WEEKEND! This means the world to us and we will cherish it forever.

And the music? Every band seemed driven by not only what the awards brings out every year but the “Melody of Alexis” and it was a most awesome night and weekend overall. And people wonder why I LOVE AUGUSTA MUSIC!

Jeannie and I stuck with tradition and started the night at Mellow Mushroom and ended it at Huddle House.

All that was missing was that beautiful smile and infectious laugh.

Bittersweet.

Jeannie and I cannot properly express how much we love our family AND extended family here in Augusta. This city has taken us in over the years and made us not only feel loved, but we are better people for being allowed the privilege of being a part of this family.

Also much love to our Lexie Crew: Pam, John, Frank, Sara, Jeff…u guys are the rockingest!

And of course huge love and thanks to Coco Rubio and the staff at Sky City. They made it easy.

And a thank you to MY knight in shining armor who is always saving my ass even if he doesn’t really have to: Nick “7G” Laws. It has been a blessing to get to know you better. You are truly a great friend and great person.

Love, Hearts, Stars, and Peace,
