GNP Day 3, HQ

11-second video: saw the group pass by the room window.
6-second video: six total.
4-second video: make eye contact and smile…

Coffee hour is every night at 8:30pm. Rarely make it, in an effort to sleep longer before an early morning start. This is an exception…

Before taking a ‘front row’ window table, took this photo from the back. For posterity.
14-second video: snippet of Avery debuting her new song, written 24 hours earlier, “Marmot and Spray Foam”.

Avery, Blair, and Carrie are three returning staff. Eight staff total for 2022.

Mattie, from Los Angeles, is the Baker.

Lucas, from the Hudson Valley (NY), is the dish-washer.

Chris, from Indiana (maybe), is ‘Utility’ (she helps everywhere).

Shannon, Tennessee, is the Cook.

Brian, (assuming housekeeping) is super friendly.

Avery is the only full-time server this season.

Blair, Manager, is back for her fifth Summer.

Carrie, (assuming) housekeeping, is back for a second Summer. Met Carrie’s Mom, Ann, last September. Ann filled in for her daughter who had to leave three weeks early.

And, serendipitously, Kevin the proprietor, stayed the same night as me. He’s a rockstar in the historical chalet genre. Kevin is the grandson of the couple who saved Sperry and Granite Park Chalets from disappearing.

Note: video recorded the entire (4:24) performance and airdropped it to Avery. For posterity and because ’artists’ can learn a lot by seeing themselves in action.
