Helllloooooooooooo. So, I am getting married tomorrow.I still have a few of the smaller things to do but nothing major. I have to go back today to the suit place to pick up a jacket that fits because I am kind of a fatty and my first one fit a little snug. Let's take a small trip down memory lane, shall we?

So last saturday was my bachelor party. I went to Craig's and played Guitar Hero 3 for a while when the door comes flying open and I get tackled. While everyone was holding me down, they chained a bowling ball bolted to a chain to my leg. They made me put on a shirt that said, "DEAD MAN WALKIN" and then we went to Hooters to eat.

I had fried pickles (Yessssss) and the "gourmet hot dog". I don't recommend the hot dog. I took a bite and it was gross. While we were there, everyone kept staring at me (still chained to the ball) and a few strangers asked me for pictures. It came time for me to have to pee but the thought of the bowling ball touching the bathroom floor grossed me out so I had Craig stand behind me holding it. Luckily the chain was 7 feet long. Once I got back, the waitresses brought me out to the middle of the floor and made me sit in a chair. They gave me fake boobs to wear and made my best man dance for me (also with fake boobs). This was the point in the evening I was dreading so considering, it wasn't that bad.

After about twenty minutes of figuring out where to go, we went to Sherlock's to play pool and see some cover band. They were not very good. Think of every mid to late 90's song you HATE and they played just those. BADLY. At the time we got there, Bob decided to let me off the chain since they weren't going to let me in with it. Right after that, Bob's sister in law went into labor so he had to leave so I didn't have to put the chain back on. See, last time one of our friends got married, they put the ball and chain on him and didn't give him the key. They were going to give it him the next day but he cut the chain during the night. They were telling me since he did sans key, that they weren't going to give me the key at all. They wanted me to figure out how to get it off. Luckily I didn't need to. We were there for a while waiting for Rodney to show up and once he got there, we went back to Craig's to play Guitar Hero 3 until 4 in the morning. All in all, pretty good night

Monday after practice, We had pizza and watched Godzilla: Final Wars. That movie is amazing. The basic plot is Japanese X Men fight aliens who bring back EVERY monster in any Godzilla movie ever made (including the American one) and Godzilla has to save us all again. The movie also included the most versatile looking actor of all time. He was compared to:
Mike Haggar from Final Fight
Mike Ditka
Buffed up Charles Bronson
Zangief from Street Fighter
and George Papadopolis from Webster.

Wednesday night, I FINALLY got to see SILVERCHAIR. God, they were amazing. I was really happy to see so many people show up too. It was close to capacity and most everyone knew all the songs, not just the singles. Of course they played what I knew they would (I'm an LAS member and knew their setlist) but I was still hoping to hear Without You or Tuna in the Brine. They didn't even play Across the Night. I understand they had time constraints and I was very happy with the songs they did play.

The last couple of days have been all wedding, all the time. I had to find the lyrics to the song that I am singing while Kara is walking down the aisle. I need them in case I blank out I can have them there. Anyway I found them and copy and pasted them into Word so I could make it larger. I noticed that someone had printed the words wrong. The song is Dave Barnes - I Have and Always Will and in it, there is a line that goes
Underneath all your white
Well, in the one I copied it says
Underneath all, you're white. Heh.
