The Country Wedding

A Country Wedding

We recently played at a wedding for a nice family living on a big farm. There were horsies there.

It was under a big tent, sort of like a circus tent, and we were like the sideshow

See? It's the dog faced boy. He must be a Schnauzer.

Oh no wait, HE'S the dog faced boy.

Allen gives the universal sign meaning... well, you know what it means

It's Psycho-Rog who can still fit into his Tornado Alley T-Shirt. If I tried to put on a Chimera shirt, I'd look I was wearing a jogging bra.

Ah, the calm before the storm. We were there mighty early, long before the people who had to make the tables look nice.

Tom gets a head start on the drums, since we all know he's a little slow... setting up the drums I mean.

And set them up he did. Long into the night. Is that a piano behind him or was he just happy to see me?

Man, Steve is a sweaty bastard. Nice of him to wear his good shirt.

Mike get's something out of his little red box. He's had that box for years, it has weird incantations written all over it. It's sort of like Felix the Cat's magic bag of tricks, whatever he needs, it just magically appears in there.

Tom's almost got his drums up, but he had to take a break. He was getting Cymbal happy.

The drums may not be done, but it doesn't take long for Mike to start making noise. A little Neil Young to put the horsies out back in a foul mood.

Greg is PA man. Whenever we go someplace without a sound system, Greg snaps into action and uses his own. Here he is uselessly explaining to Steve what all the little colored knobbies do.

In the meantime, the wedding people made the tables pretty and fire hazzardy.

Steve and Katie worked out some last minute set lists. Katie's holding her jacket closed because she was convinced I was trying to take pictures down her shirt.

Greg has the PA up and is in his wedding finery

Jay came down to run sound

It was a pretty cake, but I didn't get to have any so screw you cake! >=(

They were really pretty tables except for the weird little bowl of urine. Not sure what that was all about.

Almost ready to play, just waiting for word from the hosts. Looks like everyone is ganging up on Allen.

One of the hotter wedding guests.

Katie looked super duper in her little black dress. I think Tom has a matching shirt

The Happy Couple. And a demonstration as to why I'm not a wedding photographer

Almost there, pre-show jitters setting in. Where's the booze?

Contestant number one in the Hot Waitress competition.

And contestant number 2. I'll let you make your own judgement.

This guy was playing while we were setting up. He was really into it, our own Johnny D never looks this passionate about anything.

And finally, we were off and running. Unfortunately, I had to do the whole bass player thing, so this is it for the pics. It was an... interesting gig. You want something different for your wedding? Give us a buzz.
