What a weekend.
I went to the Flaming Lips show Friday night. My level of busy-ness in recent weeks and the threat of nasty weather caused me to be less than stoked for this show.
That was a mistake.
The Flaming Lips, if you like their music even a tiny bit, are a must-see. Their show is just a visual and sonic onslaught on your senses. Fabulous stuff. It is a truly joyful experience.
I didn't care much for the Dead Weather, Jack White's current project. He's the drummer for the band, and all the energy and charisma he brings to a show is wasted when he's at the back of the stage behind a drum kit.
Those were the only two bands we saw, as the show started at 4:15pm and we didn't have 7+ hours of music in us.
Saturday was my bachelor party, and it was a blast. BBQ was ingested, beer was consumed, and we may have seen a couple things not appropriate for a family blog. It was wonderful to just be taken care of for an evening. Thanks to all who came out, particularly my brother Jarod and brother-from-another-mother Pete for organizing everything. I couldn't have asked for/hoped for a better time.
And speaking of bachelorhood, this will be my final post as a single man. I am going to marry the love of my life next week.
I am beyond happy.
I am beyond excited.
I never thought I could have it so good.
I occasionally have that wonderful Talking Heads "Once In a Lifetime" moment--you know, the beautiful house, beautiful wife, how did I get here moment?
She's how I got here. She has changed my life immeasurably, and I never want to be without her.

congrats on your upcoming formation of a family which Karl Marx called an "economic unit of society"
Aw, thanks m.v.!
And that Marx was such a romantic.
I'm glad you had a great time. I only wish I had the cash to join in the fun in May-hee-co. What do you think the odds are that someone will be tweeting the exploits on a regular basis?
I think it all depends on how eager people are to put down their devices and relax. And I guess cell coverage and the lack of wireless in most areas could contribute as well. I'm curious to see how the more "tethered" in the group are going to handle it.
