The Pool's existence was marked by felicity.

Last night, The Blue House Pool was drained in preparation for the “Blonde and Gone” benefit tomorrow night. While cameras were not allowed for the early ceremonies such as the slideshow and the flying of the doves, The Blue House Lives was granted access to the actual draining. What was witnessed was nothing short of doleful. Observers of the ceremony described it as “heartbreaking” and “tear-jerking.” Everyone should take time this weekend and observe a moment of silence in memory of The Pool.

Here is The Blue House Lives’s coverage of the event (a Peabody Award is definitely on the way):
