Candace and Cyrus Kamata hosted a party with this theme, It's A Wonderful New World. The idea was to honor publisher Jim Kydd for supporting local voices and encouraging dissent against embedded political power.
The gathering was a rousing success with Pam Slater, retiring San Diego County Supervisor, presenting a proclamation to Jim. Dave Roberts, the newly elected Supervisor gave a speech and posted this photo via Twitter. There were accolades all around and not just for Jim, but for all the people present who contributed time, money, creativity and energy to changing Encinitas political scene.
Songs, music, speeches, gifts and really fantastic food we're told. Congratulations and appreciation all around and well deserved. It takes a community. We invisible but loud bloggers lift a glass in celebration for all and for our own contributions.
