In 2019, Lulu was this beautiful blue VW bus and was a photo studio on the final night of the Automattic Grand Meetup in Florida that year.

This is something you won’t see often in The Truman Show, it’s an empty street. It’s not the same road as the one with the traffic jam in the movie, but it’s similar. It’s surreal walking around the town of Seaside in Florida after seeing The Truman Show.

In the Diagon Alley section of “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter” in Florida we were entertained by singers and dancers. This woman was first out but she was soon joined by others to sing for us.

Fireworks at the Epcot Theme Park in Orlando in 2018 when Automattic hired out the place for a few amazing hours.

The Stars & Stripes made from corrugated metal outside someone’s house in Seaside Florida. I guess it was a child’s project, especially with the heart attached to it. It was so rusted then, I doubt it’s still there now, 13 years later!

It was the end of another sweltering day at Seaside, Florida. The sun was setting in a blaze of glory. The sky was on fire with dramatic rays of orange and pink, and the clouds were playing their part perfectly. I spotted a swimmer going into the water, and she made for a nice silhouette…

At the Automattic Grand Meetup in 2018 the company hired out The Wizarding World of Harry Potter which was an amazing evening. Lots of over priced merchandise but also a fire breathing dragon and these fabulous entertainers!

All the fun of the fair at Disney Springs in Orlando, Florida.

The Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace in Florida was the location of the last Automattic Grand Meetup in 2019. of course there wasn’t a Grand Meetup in 2020, and there won’t be one in 2021 either.
