I made this video upon returning from Costa Rica about a year and a half ago, and never posted it as when I added Estelle’s music (which was the actual song playing in the moment the video captures in CR) youtube rejected it as I don’t own the copyright. Not my music, so fair enough, and I forgot about it, even losing access to the file / camera, just another in the pile of lost and disassociated digital memories. Recently I recommended that some friends stay at The Point House on their upcoming trip, and in doing some web searches for photos to get them excited, this video came up in the results. Since I thought it didn’t properly upload to youtube, it was a weird, fun piece of serendipity.
In any case, it brought back some happy memories and made me miss CR, certainly a place that provides a profound sense of “home” to me, maybe second only to Chicago. I’ll be back soon.
UPDATE: Figured out the reason why youtube made the video “live” after initially rejecting it–they’ve added a link to buy the song in question. A small piece of progress for a challenged music industry–>
After the jump, a commercial AMEX made starring the famous Chef Joe Mucaria in The Point House after it was recently renovated.
