So thats pretty exciting... :)

Alright bullet points to catch you up because frankly life is going faster than I can type it. Thanks for showing me its okay to summarize via bullet points Mr. Greenspan (Sam).

-Hillarity insued upon my return to the hotel Saturday evening. Though I cannot go into details I would like to specifically quote a brief piece of dialogue that occurred.
The players are Adam (brother), Fred (Sister's boyfriend), Marcy
(Bridesmade), and moi.
Me: So what do you do in Minnesota Marcy?
Marcy: Well I work in an arts and craft boutique store.
Fred: Is that the kind of place where I can take my son to paint bears.
Me and Adam: HAHAHAHA!!! (this is funny for thousands of reasons including
that Fred has no son, and who paints bears???!?)

-Morning came early on Sunday after a night out with friends. After a quick breakfast we were all dressed in our tuxes and on call for photos and the wedding for the remainder of the afternoon.

-The ceremony was gorgeous. Becky and I couldn't stop laughing as we walked down the aisle. During the ceremony the Rabbi sang a prayer that was close to 5 mins. During the middle of it I turned to one of the Groomsmen and said, "I didn't know the Rabbi knew Stairway in Hebrew."

-Man was the band good. We danced our hearts out and sweat like maniacs. But it was a blast! Joey and Brad looked so amazing and were so happy. Truly a great wedding.

-Monday featured one more event, the brunch. Afterwards I sat at the airport all day in a daze. Just waiting for the world to stop spinning.

-Tuesday I found out that while I was gone some folks have been discovering my music. I received a couple orders for my album and one fan even wrote requesting an autographed photo. If that doesn't boost one's confidence, I don't know what will.

-Wed I got burnt to a crisp on a fieldtrip. Afterwards it was kickball time. Though my leg was in much better shape and I was able to play I got into a bit of trouble in the game. When launching the ball at a baserunner who was trying for third I accidentally hit her head which is unfortunately frowned upon. Who knew?

Which brings us up to date. I'm sure I left something out but I'm an ordained man now so don't step or I'll have to name your child or preside over your wedding. Word.

I'm off to paint bears with my ficticious son.

PS. Afterthought. The Sabela show! I was put in charge of obtaining a PA system for the group for this show that we were doing at a restaurant in SF's Mission District. With the help of another member of the group we had all the gear in time for the performance but no experience operating it. In the space we were given I could not get the speakers to amplify without extreme feedback. Super bummer. We did two sets the first of which was not our best. Everyone was oversinging, I couldn't hear myself and kept singing flat tones...It was bad. Then the second set rolled around. Amazing! Everyone was with it, everyone had a great time. The chords were there, we were together, it was great fun! I'm sad to be leaving Sabela when the people are so great and talented and the group has a lot of forward momentum. Such is the sacrifices I must make to become the Jayro I need to be. Whatever that means.
