Le weekend

Well boys and girls it was another EPIC

Friday night the world's worst wedding band re-formed for our first gig, practice was fune, then Ana's party with loads of fuse and assorted crew.

I was lucky enough to have Dave Small and the Oldskool staying with making for many a jovial and unexpectedly deep moment.

Saturday was an interesting day to say the least - started at ten with a Mahusive brekker at havana avec Oldskool, Small, Zellis, Birched warlord, James (sorry no nickname), Tim Kidd and Listeroff

So we all then roll up to ADH to set up full PA in a garden . . .fairly challenging one might assume and it was – I bailed when it came to the lights. No idea, didn’t want to burn the place down!

So benily got married – besotted couple 1.0 . all very sweet.

Things went downhill for me when I stepped up to start the BBQ’s and blew a spark right into my eye, burning the cornea – ow. Zoe and Kirsty diagnosed; off to the eye hospital where Zoe was just lovely, fetching water keeping me entertained and eventually using all the doctor’s toys to look into my eye . . . so that’s why she wanted to some! Anyways we got back in time for speeches, and then came the gig.

It all went so quick – suffice it to say that using the vocoder on the s club seven tune running straight into Billy Jean will go down in wedding band legend for sure. Everyone was well up for a party – such a good atmosphere. Johnny D steeped up to help recreate some after april love with john B Goode -.

Negative would have to be having zero time to schmooze and capitalise on this performance – due to need to pack up PA and turn garden from gig venue into garden. Never mind. We’re trusting in God for that side of things. . . .

That is a bummer - especially since you wear specs which should surely protect against such things. I mean; spark in the eye? What are the chances?

Glad there was no greater damage than just heightened 'excitement' :)

Hey Matt
Hope your eye is getting/already better. I just remembered that I was standing at the BBQ at the freshers welcome when the whole thing went up in flames and destroyed the BBQ and the table it was attached to. (Who puts a BBQ on a wooden table?!) Perhaps I should stay away from outdoor cooking equipment in the future.
Keep on truckin'
