[CREATE] Venue LGM 2010!

[Jon Phillips]

This looks amazing to me!

Are there any other dates? My b-day is may 28 so trying to plan
accordingly ;) hahaha

If not, then I think lets lock it in, get the press release ready,
pick out your favorite top 3 photos of the venue, add to the press
release and lets launch it this coming monday, july 13!

Great work Femke...
